[dng]

an infinite medieval bestiary generator thing

lovely beasts

(also here

http://accumulationofthings.com/twine/beasts.html

but the itch.io one will probably/hopefully be quicker)

[dng]

also if you see any mismatched beast names in the text/general spelling errors/incorrect plurals/etc, please say, and i will try and correct them

Worm

The worm does not keep the smell of smoke or fear iron. They charm men with their beautiful singing. Sailors who are attracted to the singing fall asleep; they then attack the men and tear their flesh. The worm is hunted for its testicles, which are valued for making medicine.

i think that picture might be my very favourite picture of all

I forcefully approv of this! Marve-o-luss!

Falena

Falenas cause small worms to be generated from their own dung. When a falena is captured, men have themselves tied to its back and thus are carried quickly to far away places. The falena's venom is harmless.

*double thumbs up*

[dng]

hooray

Hare

Burning a hare produces a diamond. Though the hare is usually described as a type of ape, it is often depicted as a wild man. They are only seen when the rains come at the end of summer.

[blombluss]

These are most pleasin'! Yay!

[dng]

its got a pretty good success rate really for good descriptions. i'm pretty pleased with it really

[dng]

its got about 250 beast names, 300 beast pictures, and about 850 different descriptions (which it then chooses three of at random), so it'd take forever to actually see everything, and therefore should fire out new stuff most of the time

[blombluss]

I HAVE SEEN EVERYThING

[blombluss]

Tee Hee!

[dng]

homfrus has gone mad

[dng]

from too much knowledge

[blombluss]

beast knowledge best knowledge everyone knows that

[CandyDarling]

This is really great! I will look at your other new thing soon, as well.

[dng]

hooray, thank you

Here's another thing: shakespearean sonnet generator

https://accumulationofthings.com/twine/shaxberd.html

but its not as interesting as the bestiary thing because its shakespeare instead of monsters

[dng]

also it looks a bit nicer on a mac because that has a nice-ish middle ages style font on it as one of its standard fonts which i don't think windows has

Oh, that's good! Even if it's not about monsters.

Also you can use ttf files as webfonts these days, so if you find a suitable free middle-ages font you can stick it alongside the index.html file in the uploaded zip file and use it potentially anywhere (it's a good idea to check the licensing, though)

[dng]

Cheers, I'll give that a try (licence type withstanding)

re: Shakespearean Sonnet Machine

Better known as Gloria Estefan and the Shakespearean Sonnet Machine.

Good work, Davuss, btw!

[dng]

thank you (and candy too)

[dng]

i gave up on embedded/including a font because i have no idea what font sights are genuine and what ones are scams and i got a bit scared

[dng]

Also I took homfrus' advice and sent the beast thing into b3ta and now it's in the b3ta newsletter

[dng]

I hope you're happy now homfrus

[blombluss]

I am absolutely furious! (Nice one, Sir! The more who see such goodness, the betterererrer! Hurrah!)

[blombluss]

"Fantastic, just what we didn't know we wanted but desperately now need."

Yuss!

[CandyDarling]

Congratulations on the b3ta newsletter thing! And also this site is good for free fonts that are properly checked

https://www.fontsquirrel.com/

This page in particular might be the most useful

https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list ... 5B0%5D=web

Some of them are OTFs but they would work as well

[dng]

excellent, thank you. i'll give that a try this afternoon

[dng]

I'm trying the fonts now but can't seem to get it to use the included one. I assume I have to link the ttf in the css stuff somehow, cause just using the font name doesn't seem to work

this is what i've done: font: 100% "Luminari", "Metamorphous",

but presumably that second bit should be a link or something to the ttf file

[blombluss]

Anyone any ideas? It's above my pay grade, I'm afraid.

[dng]

min etoo. i find css weirdly impenetrable for some reason

[Mrak]

Assuming your font/html/css are all in the same directory, something like

@font-face {
font-family: 'Luminari';
src: url('luminari.ttf') format('truetype');
}

should work.

been a while since I messed with it, so if you need a proper hand, send it to me in an email and I'll send you the fixed stuff back

[blombluss]

You're a good mans! Hurrah!

[dng]

cheers mrak. i will try this tomorrow when i am not in bed, half asleep,

[blombluss]

I know this doesn't help, but 'font-face', always makes me smirk. "Watcha doin', font-face?", "Hey font-face, why have you got a face like a font?"

*tumbleweed.gif*

[dng]

actually i think that does help

[endar]

alright font-face? Christened any babbies recently?

[dng]

excellent
