"The Hammers" present the new Iron Hammer Shop Catalogue
For years, The Way of the Hammer has its own shop, called the "Iron Hammer Shop"
here is the catalog, (some part still missing):

Excellent presentation, great illustrations. The sketches are all your original art, Mouli? I really like it.

I believe he borrowed from a huge collection ... but the arrangement of them certainly makes new original art.

Thx all,

but  I'm not the artist who made the sketches, I'm just collecting Dwarfs artwork for age... and I enjoy reworking them using Photoshop...
Eonwind Is there a way to download this into an InGame book ?

I doubt that such a feature would be supported "soon", if at all. Every client connecting to the game server would have to download such an image file to be able to display it in game, which will cause a lot of network traffic, probably much more than the NPC voices.

Furthermore, every player may have a different game window size, therefore it may look worse for some players when scaled down.

a couple minor quibbles about the text that will hopefully be taken in the spirit of helpfulness with which they are made.

you might want to change 'the Hammers founds' to something like the 'Hammer's Heritage Fund' as 'found' is the past tense of 'find' and not a money pool.

'Repairing service' could be better expressed as 'repair service.' It is is a compound noun and the shorter version would be more common.
'Spells book' should be spell books, another compound noun which typically are pluralized at the end and not the middle.

'Presente' should not have the final 'e' though that does keep with the archaic look and feel.

'Golden Shield' appears to out of line with the other items by one space.

'Non enchanted' is not necessary and should be 'unenchanted' or 'mundane' if kept.

All that said, if the intent is to display Dwarven unfamiliarity with the common tongue,  a particular vernacular or colloquialism, or other design feel free to disregard any or all of these suggestions. It might even cause some grammar snob like me to start up a conversation at the sales booth giving rise to a spirited bout of fisticuffs followed by a long night of drinking.

This is a fabulous work of art, kudos to you.

You *could* try using a website that converts images to ascii-art ... but I don't know how well it would work. Personally, I would say leave it on the forum as is.

A quick search on google shows this:

I doubt ascii art will work at all with the game's book font. If you have some svg graphics, you may want to import them using derula's tool, which can produce quite amazing results, but is limited to the low detail of in-game maps. Another thing that comes to my mind are those game cards in the museum. Not sure how these were created.
