I'm trying to decide which of my boards come over to WarGear. Are there any specifically you would all like to have here?

I liked Clue. The Tree of Life board was pretty fun, and I bet it would look great here using a transparent background :)

Weathertop: The 4 player ranked version or the 8 player team version? Or Both I suppose?
Electric Monk: I think I might take some time and make Clue a little less, how should I say... ©... Tree of Life is already on my list to bring over, it's an easy one to throw together. How does the whole transparent background thing work?

I'm not sure what type of editor you use, but if it is Photoshop or Paint.NET, simply get rid of your gradient layer so that all you have is the tree and the words layers. Save as a PNG or GIF with transparency and then use that as your board image. This will make it appear as though your board is 'floating' on the page.
I like the effect, and here is an example of one I made: http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/Biohazard/Board
It basically means you don't have to always have a square-related shape and fit a map inside, you can have any shape image you want. :)

You know, you weren't really limited to a square over there, either. You could have simply used a white background and you get the same effect. If you put a drop shadow under your territories, it'd look more like they're floating there than your biohazard map does.

I know, but this way is much simpler and if the site undergoes a graphics overhaul, or the background changes, it wouldn't require a graphics update to the game for the same effect.

True dat. And, for whatever reason, the actual transparency does compel me to utilize the effect, whereas floating over white never teased me enough to bother.

I <3 the chess and duel boards, so when we get BAO... Pinball was interesting, but I think it would be hard to get into regular usage, glad to see the dungeon made it over.

Thanks guys. When BAO is up I'll have those over, plus some new stuff. I'm going to reevaluate pinball (again) and see what I come up with.
