Okay, I've seen a lot of big fancy fireplaces and there's a gazillion ways to make them but I haven't found a lot of ways to make small, simple fireplaces. However, an idea struck me today, I tested it out, and it works great, so: 1) Chimney, on its side and sunk into the wall 2) Two Roman door frames, back to back to form the mantel and side columns 3) One small cement plate to cover the back wall 4) Brick wall corner to form chimney going up 5) Firepit (unlit) attached to Surface on the back wall of the fireplace, rotated and sunk down slightly, so the logs fit inside 6) The fire itself is one floor torch to provide actual light, and one "torch flame" effect emitter to increase apparent flame size without increasing brightness - I also found that the torch flame emitters, if turned upside down, emit the embers/sparks downward instead of upward so I did that too in order to avoid embers popping out of the fireplace Below is a 'cutaway' screenshot with the camera angled so you can see what's below the floor, for a better visual on how the logs are placed:

I just gotta say I'm wicked proud of this staircase I put into a small base I did recently:

I see the resemblance!

Is that the ExoProto pattern? Yeah, very annoying to draw; I've encountered it in commissions many times.

Closer to "Discount Colossus" if we're making Marvel comparisons, but hey, he IS named Irons... 🙂 also thanks for the plug further down the thread! @Seed22 - The characters actually originated in CoH, more or less - though Istvan's costumes do have to be approximated to some degree (no legit WWI uniform and no skeletal feathered wings). Saurus, however, has been a CoH character from the start and the drawing is more 'yeah this is what she SHOULD look like if I could make the proportions correct'. Saurus ingame:

Oh hell yes, Spectral Relativity (Ill/Time controller) gettin an UPGRADE with that! 😄 (this is the 'before')

That is a damn good genderbent approximation! Would she be Edie, then? 🙂

New simple fridge design: Freezer (top) - Short white counter Refrigerator (bottom) - three white wall cabinets, 'stacked' to equal the same overall depth as the counter Handles - Photo 2 and Photo 7 from the Wall Details tab, sunk in so only the edge sticks out.

oh look i did another personal project (that has only been sitting unfinished since Actually Halloween) (tinhead's character Irons - inorganic ferrous constitution is a good mutation to have when you're from Croatoa, even though the initial transformation to an inorganic, ferrous constitution damn near killed him)

If you hold shift while clicking and dragging you will move an object vertically.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Coming from someone who has great experience in crippling overthinking: You're overthinking. One single uncannily-dark statement does not an alignment shift make.

oh hi nice avatar Spiro, lol 😛

It was proof of concept for the addition of a new skin with a new texture effect. A female version will probably happen eventually, but the graphics for it haven't yet been finished.

I love that! Great depiciton.

That Wyvern costume is very convincing, kudos!

...I'll see myself out.

...Is that a play on 'dawn?' If so, mad props 🙂

That looks fantastic, Plymaster 🙂

I main a /Kin controller with the entire Fighting pool and he works well enough that I was once asked "how did you get a StJ controller" - Kin benefits from melee so it's a good choice, and with the double damage from Containment the Fighting stuff - and even Brawl - are pretty viable.

oh yes +1 to that too, I didn't realize those weren't because I don't do much in Praetoria

Yes, yes, more common sense suggestions! Good.

Presently in mind: Add Commuter and Smuggler to the blueside ferries between Talos and PI (since badge progress is alignment locked people would still only be able to work toward one at a time), Smuggler to the ships going to and from Striga (for rogues), and Commuter to the redside ferries (for vigilantes). Just something I was thinking about because of the blueside ferries not being a badge location while the redside ones are. Would be nice if there were some symmetry there.

Yes please!

There isn't, unfortunately. That'd be neat as hell though. Music, though, there is! The following thread has loads of good info on base building tricks, and music is included:

Arcane teleport pad - that's GENIUS!
