Whoops. Let's see if this works:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/5240846/DCCRPG_in_100_Words" 
          title="Wordle: DCCRPG in 100 Words"><img
          src="http://www.wordle.net/thumb/wrdl/5240846/DCCRPG_in_100_Words"
          alt="Wordle: DCCRPG in 100 Words"
          style="padding:4px;border:1px solid #ddd"></a>

It's one of those pictures that is a matrix of words, each word written in a size proportional to it's frequency of occurrance. The word "caster" is the largest......

Here it is. Click for greater detail. The larger the word, the more frequently it is used.

Nice! I love it. Going to add it to my directory of desktop wallpapers (they rotate.)

They could exist to motivate the characters to get from A to B, and once there they encounter the "next adventure".

Very cool. I've seen these sorts of word collages before but didn't know how people came up with them.

Something called "wordle", eh?
