[art, hosted] Illustration: The Giant's Skull Revealed... again!!!

[Klaus]

Hi, Kids and Kidettes!

This time around, I re-visited one of my favorite pieces, "The Giant's Skull Revealed". I really liked the outcome of this piece, and the black-and-white seemed really dramatic.

The goodie is here .

What do YOU think?

 

[Piratecat]

I think I loooove your stuff.

Used the Modern counters in a game last night, and my D&D game couldn't get along without the other token set. You've made my game better.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Great! I really like the look of your new work (and I loved the old work too!)
I'll second Piratecat in saying that my games are MUCH better having your counters on hand.

When Good Paladins Go Bad

See! Paladins aren't always boring shiny knights! This guy's got attitude!

Y'think having an artifact on his head had anything to do with his attitude? Like he wasn't badass enough before...

Piratecat, Cthulhu's Librarian -> Now that I semi-regularly play almost every monthyish, my counters are seeing some nice action. Coupled with a 1-inch scale map of a building or so, they bring the battle to life in a very definite way. I mean, I got two NPCs in a room holding off three PCs (all 1 level higher) and a wolf animal companion, for about 10 rounds!

One thing that I have found helpful when using the counters is to stand them up on plastic "feet" used to hold game pieces upright. I have a bunch from an old Battletech or Mechwarrior game thats been collecting dust in the closet for about 10 years, and they work great. Makes it much easier to move a bunch of counters around on the board quickly. (I'm not sure where to find them other than scavanging them from another game, I tried the bases that Steve Jackson Games sells for their Cardboard Heros line, but the gap is to big and the counters fall out.)

West End Games had a Star Wars boxed setting (I think it was the Darkstar campaign or some such... think SW meets Voyager) and they had these plastic thingies to hold counters up.

This works best with 1x1 counters (like most characters) but can be trouble with larger creatures.

Plus my wife character keeps her cat familiar on her shoulder most of the time, so we just pile the counters...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. The DarkStryder campaign. I've got that somewhere. I'll have to go pull them out of there as well! Thanks!
