Pics from the Dealer's Room

Fuzzy picture of the White WOlf booth.  I have a fake suit of armor almost exactly like that at home.




Life-sized D&D behind the WoTC booth




Dark Sun books for sale at the WoTC booth.  We suspected there'd be Psionic Power books, too, but we were wrong.

I saw a lot more today, but my phone was getting low on juice.

More later.

A few from the Sagmore Ballroom

There's our friend Steve (aka daHob) in his beholder hat.




There's our company of brave adventurers after defeating a group of nefarious pirates.

Posted here for easy linking.

I'll try to get some serious pictures eventually.

From my Changeling game

These are works in progress, but good enough for the purpose.  I'm still waiting on Symbol Set 3 for CC3, and in a real club, there'd be several emergency exits.

Inspired by other folks on the thread, I have done micro-heroes for my draft picks.

In order, they are Doctor fate (a Doctor Strangefate micro), The Phantasm (made from a Cloak and Dagger micro I found.  Cloak was a girl in it.  Is Cloak a girl now?  I'm so behind the times), Raven, Firehawk, Madame Xanadu (A Gypsy mini with a blond dye-job and whited-out eyes), Ibis the Invincible (Who started life as a Tangent Superman micro.  I extended his facial hair to simulate the beard John Stuart wears and drew the staff head freehand), and Captain Marvel.

Madame Xanadu, photo-manipuleated by Little Rat on RPG.net for me.

Ibis, the Invincible (John Stewart)
A crop of one of the Tangent Superman covers.  Tangent Harvey Dent's skin is a little light for John, but he serves well enough.  Just imagine the funky gold bird thing on the end of the stick, okay?



And Billy Batson himself, Captain Marvel!  I thought I'd grabbed an Alex Ross rendering, but I think I'm wrong about that.  So by someone else who does a good Marvel.


I still haven't found a good picture to use for the Phantasm.  It's a great sorrow.

As none of you probably know, I picked up a new bike over Memorial Day weekend.  I tooled around on it a little Saturday, Sunday, and Monday just to knock the considerable rust off my bicycling skills, and then Tuesday the adventure began.  I started biking to work instead of driving.

This was helpful since my car broke down Saturday, so I had no other easy way to get to work.

The morning commute wasn't too bad.  Nice, cool weather.  Not much traffic.  Lots of down-hill stretches.  (That should have been a warning of things to come...)

Then it was afternoon, and time to bike home.  The return voyage was not quite so fun.  It was hot (something like 95 degrees F.).  There was more traffic.  All those nice, down-hill sections were now torturous up-hill sections.  And instead of being refreshed from a good night's sleep, I was tired from a full day's work.

The trip about knocked me out.  I was a panting, exhausted wreck when I finally got to my door and reached for my car keys...

...which weren't in my pocket... or my backpack... or my other pocket... or the other pouch on my backpack... any of the three times I checked each place.

Damn.

Fortunately, I'd left the garage unlatched, so I could at least get into the shade.  And better yet I keep my box fan out there since I don't really need it inside much.  I had water from the hose.  I was able to call someone at work to rescue my keys for me.  And in the end my little brother came to save me since he was picking me up to go get my (now repaired) car from the dealership.

So I suppose things could have been worse.

I'm biking again today.  Depending on how it goes this afternoon, this may be the last time for a while.  The heat is really killer.  Instead of trying to do the commute to work every day, I may do some weekend and evening riding to build more endurance and take up commuting again in the fall.

Firehawk!


Found on a Google image search.

Now if only I could find a picture of Stephanie Brown (Spoiler) that I could easily modify to look blind.

I found a Madame Xanadu that perhaps I could get someone to photoshop for me so she had blond hair and lighter skin.  We shall see.

Why is there no Draft Pick 2?  Because the internet has failed me on procuring a gender-switched version of The Spectre.

Here's Raven, from one of the covers of the Raven limited series a while back.  My version for the alt draft is supposed to be a bit more martial than the original, and this costume seems more practical for kicking bad guys in the face with telekenetically enhanced strength.

I'm participating in an alternate DC draft over on RPG.net, so I'll be collecting random superhero artwork from across the net.

My first draft pick was Bruce Wayne-- Doctor Fate.

I'm using the costume of the Amalgam character Doctor Strangefate

(Note, this is not mine.  It's the original cover, cropped and edited a very tiny bit)

This weekend is Reaper Con up in Denton.  RFH is running D&D games all weekend.  When we get done, I'll try to post the battle maps we used as images and PDF files.
