The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

Good luck with that. As someone who's done my own Campaign Journal (http://themistway.com) and tried to keep up the "Story So Far" thread for the Reckonings PBP campaign, trust me, it's harder than you'd think. That XP reward may be a little low...

[NeoTiamat]

Sssssshh!

You're not supposed to tell him that yet! You wait till he's committed *then* spring just how much work it is.

[The Whistler]

Heh...Well, I'll do my best, anyway, and if it takes too long, I'll just expect to bargain shamelessly.

Ooh! Or I can pull a Dickens and ask to be paid XP by the word...and then put three adverbs in every clause.

[NeoTiamat]

Well, I suppose I could arrange for a PC death to reign in your XP in that case. *Whistles innocently*

===============================================

Also, I'm trying a new format, should look a bit prettier and help people keep track of who's who.

Is this format better or worse? Who likes, who dislikes?

Also, if you haven't shown a portrait yet, I'd like to see one so we don't have these big blank spots.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

This new style does kind of force you to keep scrolling left to right, right to left ... at least it does for me. ^^; Not too wild about it.

I'll try and whip up a portrait sometime soon.

[Kaitou Kage]

I like it, but that is silly self-indulgence.

Sorry about the size of them, though. My graphics editing computer has a very large resolution, so things usually look a lot smaller on that screen than they do to most people. I will shrink the header images to about 50-75% of their current size once I get caught up on some other projects.

I'm actually surprised they don't word-wrap automatically since each character is an individual image. Ah well.

[DocBeard]

Since the old thread's closed, I figured I'd post the picture I found here.



Yeah, ruthlessly borrowed, but the vaguely confused, frazzled look works for Tom.

[Kaitou Kage]

Is that from Girl Genius?

[The Whistler]

Yes! Dude, I totally trawled that comic for like half an hour looking for someone who matched Otto...

[NeoTiamat]

Dramatis Personae post edited to reflect Tomas's new look. Why do I think this is the way he's looking at Jervis or Allikhain?

[DocBeard]

Awesome. Thank you!

And yeah. It's a favorite of mine. From how you describe Otto, I almost think of (bum bum bum) OTHAR TRYGVARSEN, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!, if only for being big, gregarious, and faintly unsettling for mysterious reasons.

[The Whistler]

Aw man, OTHAR TRYGVASSEN, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER! It's just impossible to say it without caps and an exclamation point, isn't it? I was actually kinda thinking of the guy when I chose the character's name.

[DocBeard]

You can tell an evildoer because they aren't compelled to type OTHAR TRYGVASSEN, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER! properly. Also because Ravenloft will give them fish ears or acid eyelashes or something soon enough.

[Kaitou Kage]

Now I am compelled to actually go read that comic I had skimmed a few pages, so I recognized the art style, but never got too far.

As someone who's just following the campaign as a spectator, I personally appreciate it... it has suddenly become infinitely easier to figure out who's talking to whom.
