so do I get 500$ for each of these or what

No.

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

You know someone is about to get royally screwed if the RPG codex ever becomes a big popular place because 500$ is what they paid the guy who designed the rolling stones logo before they became famous

 

[Bubbles]

if the RPG codex ever becomes a big popular place

Becomes?

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

It's got what, 10 000 users or something? But I agree it's already earning them a fortune in ad revenue. Something around 100K each year or something.

 

[Bubbles]

So that's it ?
That's what being done with my supporting money ?

Spending it on frivolities rewarding a stupid logo and a business card ?

Don't lose your soul, Codex, you already lost my money for the next year

The problem with branding last arose during Gamescom, where the press registration form had no problem with letting in "blogs and communities", but absolutely demanded an official letterhead. Since we didn't have one, we had to spend money on tickets (although the Codex Exclusive Coverage is worth it imho). So think of it as in investment in the future.

It doesn't animate when printed. Unless you have some holographic business card. Also mandatory:

If only we could animate paper...

 

[mindx2]

I think it's a great idea and can't wait to get my Codex Roaming East Coast Reporter business card... :mrpresident:

Spoiler

... had to use The Donald to give a thumbs up since, well... it would be a little hard for me...

 

[Konjad]

the Codex makes about $3k a year "profit". If we don't spend it sending people to extravagant overseas game conferences, or offer it as rewards, I do have to pay tax (28%) on that amount.

May I suggest spending it also on whores for users with over 10 000 posts?

 

[Jaedar]

although the Codex Exclusive Coverage is worth it imho

Where and When?

 

[Fairfax]

I can't draw or anything, so I can't join the competition, but my suggestion would be to make a tribute to the best CRPG according to the codex:

Someone could draw a codex troll that looks like the Nameless One on some orange background with other references.

 

[bozia2012]

Yeah, whatever it will be - it has to have a barely visible silhoutte of the multi-dicked hivemind.

 

[GarfunkeL]

You'd think that the 21st century would get us rid of business cards and corporate letterheads and other frivolous bullshit but of course not. What happened to personal identification through the sacred tradition of docking?

 

[Mastermind]

[Drowed]

Trying 'cause, why not. I don't have much spare time here on work, but as soon as I get home I will do something better.

 

[Gondolin]

Not bad, not bad. Like The Glow address.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Trying 'cause, why not. I don't have much spare time here on work, but as soon as I get home I will do something better.

That's actually... good. Although I prefer the faded parchment look to the metallic background.

 

[Ninjerk]

I'm thinking of a Tim Curry-like devil from Legend in the pose.

Dat red. Is it made from all the dumbfuck tags joined together?

 

[Drowed]

Dat red. Is it made from all the dumbfuck tags joined together?

Picked the red from the dumbfuck tag from DarkUnderlord's posts/profile. So...
Close enough.

That's actually... good. Although I prefer the faded parchment look to the metallic background.

I do like to use faded parchments, but I don't think that it "fits" with the codex's theme/mood.

 

[Berekän]

Not a fan of the red, too much contrast with the rest, but that aside it looks good

Then, what about this tone:

Made by the blood of innocent trolls's hearts.

Looks a bit better, yeah
