[OT-kinda, Humor-you decide] What does it take to change your avatar?

[Old Fezziwig]

Speaking of avatars ... I've noticed that there are a surprising number with cats in them and almost none with dogs. Are cats more popular with gamers? Or is it that they make better avatars because they are smaller than dogs?

Well, I'd be perfectly happy to have a dog in my avatar, but this avatar is kind of, well, perfect. Is a black & white version of the avatar that I was given over at Nutkinland.

Best,
tKL

I like mine as it really seems to fit.

I dunno, the Flesh jelly was pretty cool.

i try to change mine monthly, because it entertains me.

i also change my sig every few days or weeks.

i just can't pass up the constsant opportunities.

I write Star Wars stuff.

*shrugs*

Why change Avatars? I often skim through threads, and only certain peoples' avatars catch my eye and make me stop and read.

Lucky, I don't get anyone to change mine with odd sounding puns and interesting phrases.....

 

[Knightfall]

I' always changing my Avatar... I've gone through at least four or five different ones over the last six months.

I guess I like change. Although the new one is fine for now. I might go back to Mordenkainen in a few months.

Cheers!

My avatar is a reminder to myself not to take myself too seriously

Actually, one of the villians from our campaign is Rictus Killgrave, a vampire clown. I have Bastion Press to thank for this guy...now the arch enemy of my players.

I'm a poor artist, so my avatar is a picture of a clown I snagged from a royalty-free clip art collection that I twisted up with photoshop.

Besides the fact that I am a Kevin Smith fan, I just try and incorporate as many of my interests in my username and avatar + sig as possible. Well, that and a few years ago people told me that I was a skinnier version of Slient Bob. Go figure...

Mine is the cover of the limited 6th ed. Call of Cthulhu rulebook, which (physically and at this tiny size) looks like a blasphemous tome from H.P. Lovecraft's stories. HPL is one of my favorite authors, CoC is one of my favorite games, and I love books -- so it seemed like a good fit. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about it being book-shaped rather than square, but over time I grew to like that aspect of it.

I have changed it once so far, and after a couple of days I missed the old one and changed it back. I also feel like I should keep a consistent avatar until I've been posting here for a bit longer.

As has been mentioned, they're a great tool when you're just skimming a thread -- and it's always interesting to speculate about why someone chose their particular avatar.

I'm rather fond of mine.

If you say so. Not that I see much of an avatar.


As for me, my first avatar was the Phoenix mon, as I played that clan in the IRR. Mark upgraded it with some transparency (thanks!). For a short time, as a joke, I took the gnome that ran amok as an avatar (noticing it was to big to be normally used as an avatar ), and with the end of the IRR, I decided to move on, and I found the Soldier of Light from the D&DG book rather fitting.
