Sidebars: Black Background & Red Text

[allanimal]

The sidebars with black background and red text are very hard to read. Partly due to the color scheme, partly due to the font. The font has got to go -weird spacing between letters and punctuation, the 2's look like 8's, etc. It really is bad.

id recommend not using a dark background, but if you do, red text is really not good.

Yes, he's right ! And the grey background... I prefer white background for an easy read.

For me, some color combinations are worse than others. The blue in the Character Careers is not bad, but the Orange-ish Red used in the catalog sections combined with bolded font used as text has got to go. It is hard to read. I realize the goal is to blitz me with color, but I would rather have text that is clear and easy to read.

I think they were trying to go with a monochrome terminal aesthetic, without actually going green on black. I had a good close look because it really shouldn't be as bad as it is. It seems part of the issue is with the font. Even at high zoom it's still fuzy. The font seems to have a fading edge to it instead of sharp edge like it aught to. A sharper font would probably help, although the contrast between the two colors could be improved as well.

Yeah, but that's so TL6. We should be aiming for full TL8 here.

That's when it changes from green and black to red and grayish right? Just like in the rule book???

I also noticed that dashes and other hyphenated characters seem to be missing. That makes a big difference when you are given a DM stat, if the + or - is missing...
