Alright...I'm outta here...

Later all

Wow I was almost knocked over by the breeze he was in and out so fast!

I was trying to do these regal, King of Cats kind of Roman Bust drawings, and it just wasn't working, couldn't get the combination of bold strokes vs detail vs foreshortening...and then I was looking at the orginal pic...and suddenly thought...Egyptian Death Mask! That's IT! Inherently iconic, easily designed for face-on viewing. And then a little photoshop layering and opacity later, had a sort of light bronzed Cat Coin....

Dangit! Now I git the Bangles stuck in my head!

But seriously - I DO like the avatar! Hope Fru likes it too!

Poof!

That's the guy that drew my avatar as well.

That's the guy that drew my avatar as well.

...and a wonderful job he did.

As we used to say back home "He's got mad skills, yo!"

So in my Tuesday FTF Game everyone pretty much died storming the Fane of Tiamat.

Far too many bad decisions....

So one of us has started a new Eberron Game. We are about 3 weeks in, but it has been awful fun so far.

I wish I had Photoshop-fu...Or Photoshop even!

Ya know hero ... they have a freebie image editor out there called G.I.M.P. and make it for WIndows.

Lessee: You would need these three things:

1. The run-time environment. Install this FIRST! http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk+-2.10.11-setup.exe

2. The program. Install this SECOND. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.2.15-i586-setup-1.exe

and 3. The online documentation to introduce the whole shuh-bang. http://members.home.nl/m.weisbeek/gimp/

Enjoy!

Oops. Sounds like it was a bad decision to begin with. Sad that ... there were other bad decisions to compound the probs! (As if they did not have enough already.)

Eberron eh? I saw you post something about that somewhere. You are warforged, yes?

Yes. Since I have been playing D&D for 30+ years now. I thought I would try something I have never played.

So I am playing a Warforged Crusader (from the Tome of Battle) named Templar. He believes that his devotion for the Silver Flame has given him a soul (wherein Silver Flame doctrine has so far decreed that Warforged do not have souls, hence calling them "The Souless" in Thrane).

I tell you so far Templar has been a monster in combat and I have been really enjoying the roleplaying with him.

How would you contrast the Eberron setting to the more "traditional" rpg fantasy settings?

I think I pulled a neck muscle working out earlier today
