I vote for number 1, but honestly I think we need a more legible option.

That Heroquest font, while beloved by the community, has always rubbed me the wrong way. It's not consistent with line widths.

Agreed. After compairing the old with the new I noticed that too.

The wife said the same thing about the legibility. I will poke around a bit and try another couple of font.

That being said, the general concensus is that we want to stick with "Treasure" over "Loot The Room."

I had considered it, but the image was designed so that the banner would go at the bottom.

Perhaps you mean the NA or EU Design and Game Tools pages. You access them from the bottom of the Homepage.

That stems from vanilla HQ - simplicity is sometimes best.

Here is an update to the Arrow Trap! card. I fixed the wall by using larger bricks and updated the fonts to the classic style.

Looks a lot better. The more white on the wall blends in better.

Try it and let us see. The image might be designed that way but you might be surprised.
