As no doubt you can tell by the rapid growth of our
products pages, there has been a lot of change going on at Seraphim
Guard. The number of writers we have under contract to produce new
material is growing by leaps and bounds, and we don't anticipate it
stopping anytime soon. Some of our new products are closer to fruition
than others, but all look very exciting.
On a disappointing note, I have had the HeartQuest 2nd
Edition page taken down from the website. This should not, however, be
takes as a sign of bad news for the project. A new contract has been
signed regarding the project, and a press release on it will be
forthcoming which I will have posted to this website as soon as it is
ready. Until then, rest assured the project is not dead - just
undergoing a change of direction due in part to circumstances beyond
anyone's control.
The exciting thing, of course, is all the new games! It
constantly amazes me how many people are eager to write for a fledgeling
company like Seraphim Guard that caters to a niche market. Our entry
into the superhero business with World of Heroes
and Lady Pain is
showing exceptional promise. I've seen the manuscript of Anthony Fod's
Steel Roses - it's going to be a great book,
and if Mecha Aces (which he
is also writing) is just as good, then things look bright for Mecha's
future with this company. We've had vigorous debates about systems,
especially when it comes to supernormal powers in HeartQuest and magic
in the upcoming Spell-Slingers & Sword-Saints fantasy RPG, but overall
things look promising for both projects. If everybody keeps to their
deadlines and works at a decent pace then Seraphim Guard's line will be
growing by leaps and bounds in 2004, both in quantity, but hopefully in
quality and ultimately in popularity.
To those who have supported us and continue to support us,
thanks from the bottom of my heart. To those who are curious, try our
games. The HeartQuest Lite giveaway has been a tremendous success in
terms of number of downloads, and we've just launched two new
play-by-post HeartQuest games on our message boards that still have room
for players (in the case of my Sendai Academy game, LOTS of room). All
you really need to play is HeartQuest Lite, although having the full
game will be a big help and clarify your skill choices a lot more.
Don't forget sponsorships! They provide useful seed money
to get individual projects off the ground and carry the company through
the lean sales times between the release of new products. It costs us at
least $100 just to lay out a new product, not to mention what we pay
artists and the costs of things like web access. Sales can make up most
of it, but during lulls in the product cycle sales could be much
better.
Ally, don't forget to support our friends at Alter Ego
Software, Grey Ghost Games and Politically Incorrect Games! Alter Ego's
HeartQuest character generator (part of their FUDGE template) is a
wonderful tool that I am trying to get to all our writers. I'm sure
you'll find it extremely useful as well. Grey Ghost's FUDGE lines add a
lot of crunchy bits that can easily be incorporated into any of our
games - and many oif our unique elements can be incorporated into your
FUDGE game as well, so there's a symbiotic relationship here. The same
goes for PIG's Active Exploits and HeartQuest Diceless, which has
received the most favorable reviews of any HeartQuest product to date
and is especially good for your online shoujo gaming.
Don't forget our mailing lists and message board either!
You can be part of the Seraphim Guard community and be an active
participant in the development of many of our products. We are always on
the lookout for fresh ideas, honest critiques, and general fannish
goodness.
Enjoy your stay at our site, and please - try the fish!

We're finally putting out a shonen-anime game, with Mecha Aces,
our upcoming game of fighting robot action!
Also, we're working on a less-than-serious superhero sourcebook for Mutants & Masterminds, Lady Pain!
-- Webmaster Rob --
We've got some new settings in the works: Steel
Roses, for those of you who want giant robots in your shoujo;
Livin' On A Dream, a 'mini-series'
setting on the seaside; and World
Of Heroes, a Mutants & Masterminds
setting book.
-- Webmaster Rob --
We've got new fourms up, for
you to discuss our games, your
games, anime, manga, or anything else you feel like spouting off about. Please
try them out!

The days of rude gossips about being dead are over. Now Internet audience understands that success and failure with link exchange directory comes up to such simple things as relevancy of your link partners and how appealing are the looks of your directory. There is a simple way to bring any directory on new level with clean and fair visualization strategy. Do you use thumbshots of your link partners in link exchange directory? If not - you are missing extra power. Put yourself in the shoes of your site visitor. Ok, site visitor got to your link directory, sees different categories, different links. Maybe you've done a great job about categorizing each link, and even provided a searching mechanism for necessary links - good job. But nothing stops you from making one step further on the road to give maximum pleasant experience of searching your directory. Put thumbshots of index pages of your sites-partners next to link title and description. And you will see how great are the looks of your directory with this one tiny change. For those who do not know what is a thumbshot, here goes the definition - thumbshot in simple words is a screenshot of web page. With thumbshots being close to each link your visitors instantly visualize link partners before they click. And this is where your gold pot is hidden, because simple thumbshot give your directory a pack of advantages. 1. Your link exchange directory looks more professional. When you compare the looks of the sites that go together with candy looking thumbshots with the same page that looks like a pile of links without thumbshots - absolutely another impression. 2. Your link exchange directory becomes more user-friendly. No doubts here I think. People instantly preview what they will see. Site visitors understand that you have made everything possible to make their clicking experience on your site super fruitful. They will be getting back to your directory more and more, just because you give them an advantage that others are missing. 3. Your potential link partners are magnetized too. When someone is on the verge to submit or not submit a link to your directory, thumbshot can become a trigger point inside their mind to say yes and submit you their link. If they have any brain, they will surely understand that their link with their thumbshot in your directory has bigger chances to be clicked on. Exactly what they are looking for. 4. Extra SEO power from thumbshots. Surely each thumbshot can be given certain title in alt. And most probably this title will have your keywords, because you are building links with relevant sites. It means when search engines index your directory, they see now only usual link with title and description; they also see a bulk of pictures that carry necessary keywords inside. Of course, the alt title is not critical with search engines to love or hate your directory. But missing extra advantage is just a not very wise thing to do, isn't it? Are there any disadvantages with thumbshots? No. But it is about some extra job with your link directory. If you are using a solution that automates link building and creates link directory pages for you, they may not have an option to add a picture to link title and description. But this is not a problem. Send them email with suggestion. For programmers it's not difficult: professional link directory software developers will help you with it. And if they reject, then better look for those who are ready to support their clients - not simply sell and forget. With this list of advantages that thumbshots can bring your link exchange directory, would you agree to miss an opportunity of adding extra power to your directory? Surely not. So, use this knowledge and make changes before others do them. Any type of link exchange directory will benefit from these efforts. And you site visitors will be bookmarking your pages. In addition to other benefits of your directory this can turn into new level of success with link building.

For those who are not comfortable with the program they are left with no choice but to hire professional expertise to convert PSD to HTML code.PSD files are saved in layers. It is possible to open these files in Photoshop or compatible software and slice these images and change them around to suit the theme of the site that is being designed in html. Once the changes are made to the PSD files they can be saved as bitmap, JPEG or any other compatible format that can be optimized for web site use. Then the images are hard coded into html bit by bit. This is essentially what converting PSD to HTML code is all about.Now if you are one of those gurus who can play around with software and make it do the things your mind is imagining then you are one of the most fortunate people on earth. But for the lesser mortals in order to convert PSD to CSS converting PSD to HTML is something that requires the help of designers and programmers.Now, converting PSD to HTML need not cost you your first born. There are web sites that can do this part of the web development for you. All you need to do is to choose the PSD template that you like the most and send it in to the site admin in vooweb.com format and they will do the PSD to HTML conversion for you and all within a matter of hours (or if the site has multiple pages a few days).These PSD to HTML converters are really very experienced web designers. They can have your PSD to HTML files ready as web pages in no time at all and the PSD file will look even better than it did in the original. They will work with you to change the background and add or remove images, add links and buttons to the PSD that is now taking on the format of HTML. All you need to do is to buy your PSD templates and let the pros change it to HTML for you.

cooking recipes. As a busy mom, what do you do when a meal is finished? Do you wash dishes and wrap up the leftovers? Do you actually eat the leftovers, or do they sit in the fridge getting yucky? As a busy mom, you want to make sure you make plenty of frugal meals for your family - and that includes a strategic use of leftovers. With the simple tips in this article you will learn a number of frugal that will help use up leftovers. One of the problems with leftovers, is that we tend to serve them day after day until they are gone.. Say you prepare a giant roast beef for Sunday dinner - there are plenty of leftovers, but the family will get tired if you keep serving slices of roast beef over and over for the rest of the week. You will have to get creative with your meal planning to keep dishes on the table that your family will actually eat. You can start by chopping that roast up into bite size pieces. Add in some frozen vegetables, and some instant rice. Cook in a large frying pan or a wok, add in soy sauce and a beaten egg and you have a frugal meal of beef fried rice. That's just one way that a leftover roast can be re-used. Don't forget beef stroganoff, a classic that's simple to make - just add some cream of mushroom soup, sour cream and egg noodles and you have a classic comfort food dish. Left over hamburgers don't need to go to waste - just take them and break them apart - they can become the basis for a traditional spaghetti meat sauce or you can add some taco seasoning and create a meal of tacos or burritos that is sure to be a family crowd pleaser. Using a little creative thinking can turn any bunch of leftovers into frugal meals that last the whole week. Just take a moment to plan your main "big" meal and then brainstorm 2 or 3 other meals that can be made with it and make sure you have all the ingredients on hand in your pantry. You'll be more likely to re-use leftovers if you don't have to hit the grocery store for last minute items. If you have enough leftover leftovers, you can even freeze this meal and pull it out of the freezer on another night. By strategically using leftovers you will save time and money. Just watch your grocery bill go down and your free-time increase. You can even use the savings to order in one night - don't worry - we won't tell. cooking recipes
