(...) Huzzah! (...) I'm glad that worked out. I'd tried all sorts of combinations of map tiles--those newer ones from the Advernurers Orient Expidition made the most convincing war map, what with the palace, the dotted lines, and the X. (...)

Hey Brendan, And there was much rejoicing! I really like how you put together the map. The way the water matches up on the right side is particularly pleasing. The wall is nice--congratulations on finding a use for those pieces. On the horns, I've (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hi, Matthew. (...) I've reviewed the passages describing the parting of the Jordan, and while the text doesn't rule out that the water piled up downstream as well, I have to agree that it would make more sense to portray this scene with only one (...)

Not to nit-pick, but Joshua 3:15-16 says "As soon as the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the covenant touched the water, the water coming downstream toward them stopped". You portray the water piled up both upstream and downstream, rather (...) (20 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hey Brendan, Great stuff as always. Spies and the Prostitute: I wouldn't have done the sex scene, but oh well. The blue and yellow room in 2:2 is great, especially the blue axles in the yellow bricks with axle hole--great little detail. I'm not a (...) (20 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
