Fantastic work Son_of_Thunder! You've just ensured one of your characters a spot in the finals for your efforts!

January 31st, as stated in the very first post of this thread. :)

Just a quick reminder to all who have entered or are planning to enter; Describe what your character looks like. A couple of the entries already submitted have great backgrounds or gaming moments but I haven't a clue as to what kind of hair, clothes, physique, or equipment the characters have...

That's right, its time for some fun. As before, I'm going to pony up the dough for one lucky ENWorlder to have a character portrait commissioned by none other than Wayne "WAR" Reynolds! Full-on pencil drawing. Winner gets the original sent right to his/her house. Sound cool? I thought so...

I'll announce the artist and the contest rules as soon as I get home from work (about 4:00 PST). The turnaround time for this one will be *much* shorter than last time. This contest will run about a month with the winner's drawing being posted toward the end of February! Stay tuned... :cool:

Some people dismiss illustrations as the shallow or superficial side of gaming, but not me. I love it when a paintbrush or a pencil can inspire my imagination just as much as the written word. And when a picture is finely crafted, it seems to convey its own sense of life. I love that. And I...

Many of you may recall the Todd Lockwood contest I sponsored last year; Over 150 fantastic entries, and an awesome rendition by Todd of the winner's character. Well....its time again. A new year, a new artist, loads of fun. :cool: All characters will be eligible, but special attention will...

Mismanaged information? How so? I'm not saying the new rules are perfect but I don't see how anyone couldn't agree that they're best rules we've had for the setting in any edition.

Wow, why no love for Dragonlance? Dead last behind even Spelljammer!? Yikes. Sure 20 years ago the modules were pretty railroading, but the setting itself was and is cool. Have people even seen the new 3.5 hardcovers out now detailing the best illustrated monsters outside of WOTC and an...

In contrast to my "What ails you" thread, I want to see what really warms people's hearts. Blessings, joys, little things, big things. What do you have that you truly enjoy and are grateful for? The things that I'm thankful for by far outweigh the negative in my life. Some of them are: 1...

Hey fellas, I tore a disc in my spine moving furniture in September. I was carrying one end of a couch up a flight of stairs and the guy on the other end below me stopped abruptly to adjust his grip without warning causing me to lurch forward with the full wait of the couch in my grip. Pow...

Wow, sounds like a definite pass. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Hey guys, I've been out of the loop for a while and just noticed this book shrink wrapped at the local Border's for $50. Sorry if this is totally old news but what's the deal with this book? What all is in it? Do you think its worth a purchase?

Exactly. "But they're gonna kill her!" "Better her than me." And characters missed randomly easy shots in the original Star Wars all the time. Ever notice that when the Stormtroopers show up at the Mos Eisley docking bay one of Han's first blaster shots hits the CEILING above their heads...

Yeah, the "lucky you got outta there" line was the original scripted take, and the "don't taste very good" line was an on-set ad lib by Mark Hamill that they originally used instead. When Ben Burtt went back to the original sound recordings for the 1997 restoration, he chose the former because...

Hey Tom, 1997 called, it wants its dead horse back. :cool:

I think the new DVD's are great, the only alteration I didn't really care for was the extra footage in the Mos Eisley cantina: http://www.livemike.com/demos/Jedi_Cantina_Dance.mov

Wookiees on Kashyyk were never scripted in Return of the Jedi. It was George's first *idea* for what would become the Endor battle, but he wanted the Stormtroopers to be defeated by a primitive culture, and wookiees had been established as being quite technologically proficient. So he decided...
