Graphic idea
 

ok i have this idea for a graphic, im not sure if i have seen it before but i think its my idea.

Basically a group of adventurers are running as the word "TICK" is falling toward them the word should be very large and about to crush them as then run from under it .. does that make any sense?

Re: Graphic idea
 

No, the meaning totally evades me.

Does this mean like TICK in the sense that it represents a fraction of time
with which the party has to escape these oppressive letters to preserve their
lives and loot? Personally, I would go with SPLAT and have the letters actually
crushing the party, but I have been called a defeatist.

I know this is an older one, but it might require further exploration.

Any other ideas?

I hope the OP is still around.

Add a --> in front maybe (depending on your game's style).

Make it out of stone, like the old comic BC?
