Awesome place to find character pictures
« on: February 15, 2011, 06:57:49 PM »
I found this site, Art of Fantasy, which hosts a whole bunch of really cool fantasy based art and I immediately thought of how well it would work for character/monster portraits.

/tg/booru is by far the best place I've found. Everything is tagged too. It does has NSFW images though.

EDIT FIXED LINK

So how often do we see women wearing armor that would actually protect their assets?

Copy and paste the link in the browser. The wrong part is the link.

And, as far as a decently dressed girls, I've found 3 - One in Warriors (armor + full helmet), other in Gods (a bastet lookalike) and the last one in dragons (in a winter-like theme).
Yes, it's pretty bad for the ladies, at least if you prefer yours somewhat dressed.

I hate mouth breathing fuckwits who go around spouting lies, even after being corrected on those lies, and that bait mods into helping to defend their wrongness and fail. I also hate the MBFs that don't understand the meaning of words, and that can't get a fucking clue.
Hey! I like spouting lies. It's very entertaining to observe how people on the internet are buffing their small egos by declaring victories over some stupid MBFs. :smirk
Also - I hate people who use too smart words that I don't understand. :mad

Hi Welcome

Go fuck yourself, because others won't do it for you.

Stop flirting you two.  :p

So, in other words, it's good for ladies?

Apparently the gloryborn armour template is popular with female adventurers

If you hate Furries, you'd better use my deviantART Favourites! I've been collecting them for years, and if it's D&D, not Furry and usually, not Manga, I have it.

Warning:
1 - Some are Not Safe For Work.
2 - While this does have more or less anything for anyone, it may well take hours of non-stop clicking to comb through.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

I've also found Magic The Gathering's creature card art to be useful. My warblade used Dakon's image, complete with a BOVD's Souldrinker sword :)

This will be useful if it is as you say. I find that finding a visual of a character has become a challenge that can kill my interest in creating if not amended quickly.

Thanks for the Warforged pics!  Now I need to disinfect my computer.

Porn banner ads.  Thanks for the warning!
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

Well, if you updated your browser to firefox and downloaded Adblock Plus you wouldn't have seen them.

Or if you used Chrome and downloaded Chrome's Adblock Plus and/or AdSweep.

Or just not use Internet Explorer, the "Spread your legs to every passing sailor, and by sailor we mean piece of malware, virus, packet sniffer, botnet, etc." browser.

I used to get viruses all the time.  Then sometime in 2003 I switched to Mozilla. Haven't had so much as a tracking cookie since.
Random quotes:[spoiler]I think Roy's coinages are shitty and dumb, but Failroy has to take the cake for the dumbest new compound word of the year
~

That was kind of the point. I was trying to be a Roy parody, but I guess it didn't come across overly well.

==

JaronK is of course most famous for his massive thought experiments into placing classes into tiers. While a kind of nifty idea, and a decent enough way to think about stuff, his particular tier assignments were basically insane. Apparently the criteria he used was to assign classes relative strength based on what bullshit he personally would let them get away with at 20th level.

So Factotums were rated very highly, because apparently he would let them use Rokugan-exclusive skills with Forgotten Realms-exclusive weapons from the back of MM2 templated warbeasts. But Rogues suck donkey dick, becuase he wouldn't let them use Use Magic Device to read scrolls of Planar Binding. It was a very surreal argument.
~

And to think the system was immortalized in OOTS. As a general rule, I try to avoid all tier discussion there because it's the De Facto system at BG, and I'm not going to change anyone's mind.

Besides, I think if most people are pressed, they will admit that it's just an estimate, anyway, and that results can vary from table to table.
~

My only real complaint with the tier system is that at one point I was tired (tiered?) of hearing about it.[/spoiler]
