I'd be flattered!

The one thing I'm wondering about, is whether them D'ni goggles that a lot of people seem to be wearing, wouldn't prove a good subtitute for the welding mask. :7

I highly doubt it. When you wear a welding mask, you can't see anything until you start welding. Safety necessitates that the panel be ...

This is definitely one of the best ideas so far. And it's being illustrated so well.

I, like countless Myst fans I'm sure, starting thinking up ages years ago. Once the notion of fan-made MOUL content started to look like more than just a pipe dream (or more accurately, once I noticed that it looked like more ...
