Looks interesting, but $30 a shot?
Unfortunately, too steep for me.

That's an understood given.

I might give the trials run - they do look interesting.

I betting you'll get some takers on that.... do the skins have to be acceptable?

Downloading Pack now... (dial up)

think the quality of the people applying will be high enough


No doubt... but I was referring to my quality (read verifiable lack thereof) in skinning.

I like your troll-tunes skin, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.


Ah, but I can't claim that as 'truly mine' - my participation was mainly collaboration - I take absolutely no credit:

KkonNne gets all the credit since I’m a noob at this – without him this wouldn’t exist for another 5 yrs.


I wasn't kidding, especially about the 5 years.

Well in that case I'll have to see what you come up with!

If I was a graphics artist or a draftsman, these do seem like something worth checking out.
