Re: Loosing Lew...

Now this is bad for the group, in-game and out-game

No more intricate patterns on Lews shoes...

and a tip for the new player:

BEWARE OF PITS !!!

Dougal DeKree, retired gnomish Illusionist

Dougal,

Mike/Cragen has been with us for 2 sessions...so far, no pits!

As you will see in coming updates, the loss of Lew has some very interesting repercussions!

So are they now a party with no healers?

Ooo-er missus!

 

[Old One]

Actually...

Ooo-er missus!

Alex,

It's not quite that bad...

Cragen is a Cleric 2/Fighter 2 (although that may change a bit, since I allow players 3 sessions to "finalize" their PCs). Also, Sextus has CLW and Rowan is usually pretty good at heal checks.

I think Mike is considering switching things around to Cleric 3/Fighter 1 to get access to 2nd level spells...we shall see.

I think the bigger issue is reaction to a "legend" walking out of the past...should be fun!

I didn't think you would yank a PC w/o notice. I was just curious as to what exactly happened.

Anyway, this leaves me wondering something. Is this new dwarf planning to take your Paladin PrC? If not, what are the chances that you could, uhmm, release the data to the rest of us?

Lela, your patience is astounding...

Lela,

I am headed out of town this weekend (in about 10 minutes, in fact). I will try to get it to you next week sometime (via private mail).

Here he is, in all his glory.

Rose. 28mm version.

Comments are highly encouraged.

I didn't go into much detail on John's specific request. He continually repeated "Rose is very low tech. Everything is plain. etc etc etc." The only gripe I really have with it is the fur on the boots and loin. I would have liked a snow grey wolf type fur to contrast on the skin and leather.... however, his totem is the bear, so this made more sense character wise. Ahh well.

Anywho, post away. Next is the new dwarf! Hopefully, I will have him ready in time for their next game. is envious of players

[edit]
Here is the original. As you can see, i took a dremel to him.

Wow. Maybe its the fact that I paint like a four-year old but I am REALLY impressed. Good job on that miniature.

And cool story too. We want more updates! (Anything to keep me from having to pay attention in class!)

 

[Old One]

Outstanding!

DethStryke,

Great job (Old One looks at his horde of unpainted minis in envy)! Looking forward to seeing Cragen as well!

For those into detail, note the "eagle-shaped" birthmark across the figure's back...what does it mean?!?

~ Old One

PS - One minor correction, Rose's totem is actually the Great Eagle.

Three things on this one:

- Jim told me that his people's totem was the bear when I asked about what kind of fur it should be (john of course was not online when I needed to ask, and I didn't have time to wait). So I blame Jim.

- For a very modest price, I am willing to paint any minatures for your game Old One.

- You mentioned you network players; well I'm really really really in search of a serious D&D game to play in. It's hard to get better at the game when people stop running games and don't remember them for other groups they know of. Please network me away.

Hopefully Cragen's fig will get in on friday... had to special order him for Mike.

A special note for everyone.
WotC figurines are poorly molded and very difficult to remove the mold lines, flash, prime and paint to a point that is not a slop and go look. For all your RPG Mini needs, please take a look at www.reapermini.com. Reaper Minis are wonderfully molded and generally better sculpted (though the latter is not *always* true, the former is!). Their website is now better than ever and I cannot stress enough how much better I feel these minis are to everything else on the market. Now, when it comes to wargames and Warhammer type stuff, obviously this does not apply.

No, I'm not on the reaper payroll. I'm just really peeved at the crap pieces of pewter that WotC is trying to pass off as a good miniature.
