I don't know about you, but one thing that irks me about using online game guides is having to run back to the computer to check something.  Maybe even have to reconnect, on dialup.  And then someone's using the phone.  Oh, it's such a trial.  The very thought of it is making me perspire.

Wouldn't it be handy if you could just print out some information for reference and have it to hand during those difficult moments?  But, curse those graphical sites, they aren't quite print friendly.

Well, now there's a solution: get a text walkthrough from GameFAQs!


...

Or, you can use the new "Printable Page" links at the bottom of most of our pages.  That would also work.  Probably.  If you see a page that doesn't have a print link that you think should, or a page that does have a print link that you think shouldn't, or find anything that otherwise doesn't work (unless you're using some deeply embarassing browser like Netscape 4), please do let us know.

I hope that's useful to someone.

It's like a potluck dinner on independence day.  Take your pick!  We've got a little bit of FF4, a little bit of FF5, and a little bit of FF6.  Mmm, that Bartz salad looks rather tasty, and you might enjoy some delicious Rosa cookies.

Okay, enough with the silliness.  Josh and I worked on it today and got twelve new fanarts updated, along with two new layouts.  You can see the fanart by visiting the Fanart sections (or the New Fanart section), and you can see the Gau layout by refreshing the FF6 main page, and the Bartz layout by refreshing the FF5 main page.  Keep in mind that with the new style options, you will need to be using the CoN5 layout to view the fanart layouts.

Special thanks to the following who submitted art in today's update:  Kris-Chan, Narratorway, Firia, and Viger.  Three of those four definitely need to join the forums, eh?

New FF5 Fanfiction

We now have our first ff5 fanfic, up in the ff5 section. Or just click that link. It's by a non-forums member (who may join the forums later, if she wishes) and is about Faris. Go check it out! It's quite good, and she's mentioned doing more.

I finally started catching up with CoN email today, and I was able to put up thirteen fanarts by Miss Lindsay Cibos of cutepet.org. A dozen of the new pieces from her are SD FFT characters that are, to borrow a word from Hikaroo, very "kawaii" indeed. The ending art in this baker's dozen is a great piece of Rydia. You can see them all in the "Newest Fanart" section for the next thirty days.

I hope to add more today, if so, I'll post again!

Well, I don't know.  Suppose that, for some strange reason, you don't like the way the site looks.  I know, I know, you must be mad.  But!  Help is at hand.

Now you can choose to view the whole site in a different style via the Style Options page.  (Forums excluded; they have a separate mechanism for this.)

So far you can choose from a number of CoN designs from the past, including some that were never used.  We may add more options in the future.

(One quick note: the styles should work in any standards-compliant browser.  Unfortunately, Internet Explorer isn't very compliant, so some things may not look as good as they should, and some things may not work at all with versions prior to 6.  I strongly recommend upgrading if you're still on IE5, or getting hold of a vastly superior browser.)

After hours of work today, the CoN has 34 new pieces of fanart among 23 various FF characters, most of which were drawn by Narratorway, with help from Kame, Hikaroo, Seventh, Bond, and Kris-Chan.  As always, everything can be seen at http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/fanart/.

Also in store for the CoN today is a new FF4 layout of Yang, for Kame.  It's an awesome layout made up of her recently-uploaded artwork in the Site Submissions forum.  Check it out by going to http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/ff4/ and refreshing until it comes up.
