Role Play: Penny Luck

Hello everyone! At long last it is time for another announcement. It has been some time now since we've been forced to deal with the new Google Sites. A few consistent annoyances continue to persist with no signs of resolution. In response to this I have begun the early stages of a script that can generate a web structure. Now, this is no simple feat and I'm not planning on starting with the script until March, but in theory this could change the way we generate our pages. This is stuff for the future, but here's something interesting at present. As a (sort of) way of making tables less painful on mobile, I have created a script that generates character tables and templates based on information you supply. This script is called the Template Page Generator (TPG) and it is out right now in the Roleplay Information folder! This script at present has templates for primary (detailed), secondary and trimary characters. Each template is based on the classic sites template. I recommend you check out this page for more details on the TPG. My future plans mentioned earlier plan to take this outside of Google Sites so embeds are not constrained in awful poorly responsive embed bounding boxes. I will post an update when I reach a milestone for the script. In the meantime, look forward to spring, soon enough it'll stop on by.

It has been awhile since the last announcement, hasn't it. Over one full year in fact. While this planet of strange creatures struggle to ... what are they trying to achieve? Eh, well anyways, as I theorized earlier, Google will be forcing the new Google Sites on all of us late this year. As a result, there are some things that are going to change. I will post this stuff more in detail in the character posts section, but in general, some features will have to evolve, others will no longer exist and a few new features may even emerge. The first thing you immediately notice is the boring white background. Colour nowadays seems to be a dying breed for new brands. This is most likely to make pages compatible with themes, but it does look a little ... dull. There are a lot of rough edges that are now present as a result of the changes, but I believe that we should be able to adapt to them. As per page permissions are no longer present (even though they said they'd add them to the new sites), you must be logged in to edit any page. Please only edit your pages. Templates are also no longer available when creating pages, however, I am working on getting embeds onto a template page so that templates can still be used. Template tables are now embeds, so I am planning on utilizing this to get templates back in action. Anyhow, that's enough from me for now. Please expect improvements to the site as I work out the new features. Enjoy Spring!
