Hello,

Thanks for adding the link Jon. I'm happy a reference is up there :-), whether 
under the Tools or on the corresponding book page. It sounds like it makes 
sense to move it to the respective book pages.

I've been tinkering away a little, and was going to do a forum post when I've 
done a bit more, but while keeping an eye on the forum I upgraded my account 
(was the forum upgraded or something?) and now only have guest access to the 
forum after logging in.

Hi Thomas, could you please approve my forum account (user jackvanzyl) again if 
possible.

Here's a list of the updates I've made:
- Made the header stick to the top of the viewport for medium and larger 
displays, and added a lightbox display for large (tall) illustrations for 
medium and larger displays so that the full height can be used over the fixed 
header.
- Made the Random Number Tables different for the first 5 books, and now 
loading these from the XML, instead of hard-coding only the first book’s random 
numbers.
- Corrected Weapons hint in the Action Chart.
- Updated ‘Start a new game’: Allow selecting one of the Kai series titles 
(books 1 to 5) when creating a new player, instead of always starting at the 
first.
- Added the credits from the XML.
- For medium/large displays, added a hero illustration for each book of the Kai 
series on the New Game view.

Best regards
Jack
