Why, yes! Yes it is! 8)

(Now I just need to figure out how to get it into a GIF format that still looks okay and is quick enough to load ... so far, good ol' MS Paint is winning with ~110KB file that only distorts the background "dust cloud" nebula thingy. Adobe's Photoshop makes the picture look the best, but gives too large of a file, ~230KB ... but, I won't let that hold me back! ;) )

Make it maybe PNG or JPG2000 ?

Those formats are not so known, still browsers display them allright.

I decided to go with JPEG -- keeps the file <150K and keeps the coloring pretty good, although not perfect. Still, better than what I was getting with GIFs -- which is unusual.

I have the game page up (http://www.mwgames.com/GM_Matt/group04_main.htm) and in the KAObase, so the thing is officially open. E-mail me to join: GM_Matt@kaomaris.com

Make sure to check out the page to read the opening narrative, and see which rules I've decided to use (just about all of them ;) ) ...

This game is a WOK5 game, making use of most of the "standard variant" rules, and a strong Sci-Fi theme. Once I have all of the players,
I will be adding the beginning narrative to this thread on the main WOK message boards. Players will be encouraged (but not required) to continue the in-game story here, from their character's perspective.

Cheers,
-GM Matt (back in the saddle?)

Wow... this is one for the Pros. Great map, Level 5 Teleport.... uh....

Id join if I had more time at hands right now, but with story elements etc. thats just too much for me.

Glad to have GM Matt back in action though. :)

People make sure to download Matts Games Pub and get in there for more WOK chatter !

Nothing personal Matt, I would play, but I just don't like the outer space theme or that map at all. Mainly the map, for reasons I am not going to get into now on the board, since it's probably just me. I can't bring myself to sign up for the game as much as I'm looking for another good GM like Matt to run a WOK 5 game. I'm sure it'll be a great game for those of you that do play- good luck!

Bryk, I just noticed that your GM contact address is different to the one used by the AOF sender. Where do you want orders sent to for the game?

Use the AOF sender ... the GM_Matt@kaomaris.com actually forwards to the other one. But, that way when I change e-mail addresses, the GM_Matt@kaomaris forwarder will always be correct.
