Make my tunic a black color? also a black Overcoat.

I do have several plain black torsos, but I'm not sure how well they would work with my customizing method, which involves clear gummed plastic and an inkjet printer.

On the other hand, this torso seems fairly close to your design once the hook is replaced with another hand. It's black, it's got all the pockets, and it's got a scarf which, although the wrong color, I can probably fix with a blue marker.

Addressing Glenn once more, what do you think of this guy? Isn't it an unwritten rule that at least one party member has to be scruffy and unkempt?

That will work splendidly Kara.

I don't get your insistence that this is being modeled after a JRPG.

I think his train of thought is:

minifig -> sprite -> JRPG sprite
D&D -> RPG ——————^

I think it's more like:

1. Be vague and unhelpful to Karalora.

2. ????

3. PROFIT!

I am currently living proof of the second step.

Anyway, to be honest, it's because I really don't have much of a character image concept, other than the headband. And my response to your thing about the scruffy dude was just a continuination of the joke.

I suggest we make Glenns Figurine a black silhouette with a headband and Giant ? in it

It'd make sense since Glenn's character seems...

translucent.

I've got an all-black figure put together; now I just need to draw the headband and question mark on in crayon so that I can wipe it off when I'm tired of being so silly and/or I get a real character description from Frog-boy.

I've got the figures for Constantine, Rowan and Trixie put together. Constantine is a WIP since I still want to create a customized torso for him, but for the time being the substitute torso looks okay. My clear gummed plastic decals didn't work very well at all and I wound up going with sticker paper anyway.

Oh, also? LEGO doesn't make a weasel, so the part of Dartanian is being played by a rat. I hope you don't mind.

Does anyone remember what clothes Gelvist wore?

Did arim even say how he was dressed? Is it even important?

Why does that wizard hat look like a firefighter's hat, and is that a shotgun or a baseball bat?

Kara, what sort of color schemes are the other characters getting?

Because the point curves backwards away from the camera.

and is that a shotgun or a baseball bat?

It's a straight bar. Supposed to be a magic wand, I guess.

Kara, what sort of color schemes are the other characters getting?

Hang on, I have this written down...

  • Rowan: green and brown
  • Trixie: white and gray
  • Constantine: blue and black (with tan pants, because that's what color the cargo pants come in)
  • Eliza: dark green and tan/khaki
  • Meredith: black and gray
  • Adellion: We'll see, since for the time being Ironeye can't participate

What I would like is to assign each character one bright or bold color and one neutral or dark color. So far the outlier is Meredith, since I can fudge Trixie's white as a "bright" color.

Okay, how about an outdoorsy dirty-green color for the torso and brown for the pants? So it vaguely-so-much resembles the picture I currently use as my avatar. With a brown or other neutral/dark color of pack on his back. Gruff look optional, but he doesn't have any ranks in intimidate and he's not paricularly charismatic.

Maybe I'm misremembering this, but doesn't Trent wear studded leather armor? Which would logically be brown. And actually, given that most of the heads with headbands have a red one, I was hoping to make his bold color red or dark red.

We're playing tonight, I assume?

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

Glenn, you missed an awesome battle.

Two words: Incendiary Exponent. And I'm not talking about the fire elemental, either.

Also, I need to take Improved Bull Rush as a feat. It's quite helpful. I took out both of the cloaked guys by bullrushing them into pits or off roofs.

Oh, and Staghorn. I would gather that Eliza has suffered Clothing Damage from the fire.

Don't worry, after an 8 hour rest, Trixie can cast mending on Eliza's clothes.
