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.

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*

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.

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
These are most pleasin'! Yay!
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
its got a pretty good success rate really for good descriptions. i'm pretty pleased with it really
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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

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

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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)

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
thank you (and candy too)
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
Also I took homfrus' advice and sent the beast thing into b3ta and now it's in the b3ta newsletter
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
I hope you're happy now homfrus
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
I am absolutely furious! (Nice one, Sir! The more who see such goodness, the betterererrer! Hurrah!)

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
excellent, thank you. i'll give that a try this afternoon
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
Anyone any ideas? It's above my pay grade, I'm afraid.
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
min etoo. i find css weirdly impenetrable for some reason
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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

You're a good mans! Hurrah!
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
cheers mrak. i will try this tomorrow when i am not in bed, half asleep,
Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
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?"

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts

Re: An Abundance Of Beasts
