Every PBEM has this thread so I figured, why not..
Could we, perhaps have a slightly larger pixel allowance for the avatars if it isn't too hard on the forum? I can barely make out my character :)
-
Granted; 120x120 is sufficient, or should it be even greater?
(mine is 80x80)
-
I think its ok now. Can't see the eyes of the guy, but I guess it makes him a bit more intimidating :D
-
I can up it more if you think it's needed; no bandwidth issues.
-
In that case... maybe a bit ;)
-
I can do 160x160...anything above that and the little green knight will feel inferior ::)
-
Satisfied?
-
Yup... the baron of Roesone now towers over the little green knight! 8)
-
Pygmy knight is probably more appropiate now. :)

I should curse you for that you wicked man!

*testing*

Kaven Enlien, testing testing... Was the older picture better? Or would this do nicely for the now older Kaven?
-
Finally! I realise who my avatar reminds me of now! Derek Jacobi! I've been agonising over this for days!

PS: The Joker rules Medoere? Sorry, I just saw The Dark Knight. ;)
-
I think I'll stick to my old avatar.
cheers,
W

Yeah... i'll show ya a magic trick or two, if you pop by?
Nah, my old image was this one, so i thought i'd opt for something a bit "older"

And wearing a 20th century shirt? ;)

LOL, and all these years I thought Siele Ghoried was a woman. I guess the name can be decieving ;D
-
Actually, I think she's described as both a man AND a woman in various books. In RoE she was a woman, but I see no problem changing that...not like she married anyone!
-
Hm.... the black baron is rather short on heirs :D
-
Hm. I simply looked Siele Ghoried up in Ruins of Empire (the publication) and it says MA; T4; Ma, minor, 21; LG. Also referred to as a guildmaster. Where does it say otherwise?

I think the PS Roesone had her tagged as female, but I'll have to go downstairs to check and I'm too lazy right now...
Know what, SG never had an important role anyway, so we can replace her with a brother or some such if that is preferable.
-

Yep...
In Medoere we are a bit advanced... does it bother you?
-
Nah... we Roesonean macho-men have no problem with sissy moon worshippers, go right ahead ;D
-
I've already gotten used to my Derek Jacobi avatar, so I'd prefer it to stay. Player's Secret's are all a lot of bovine excrement, anyway. ;)
-
And this is a test of the Emergency Bearded System; if this were a real emergency, we wouldn't be saying it was a test. Please remain calm.
-
Welcome to dwarfland, where every regent has a beard!
-
Murphy: Hah, funny. Your avatar was my second choice for Ghoried.
-
Welcome to dwarfland, where every regent has a beard!
I beg to differ!
I for one, shave regularly, as a sign of humility... ::)

Hehe, your online characters might be many things Thorsten, but I'm not altogether certain humble is one of them. ;D

Is that a cell phone in your character's hand? :o

No, its a handheld tape recorder. For taking notes, so he won't forget any of the amazing things he's said to himself.
-
Hmmm...I like this avatar.
Notice -- I think the (little) Green Knight is going to suffer a little size envy.
-
Well at least my characters avatar isn't from the Amoka-artist :D Seems we might as well hold a George R.R. Martin get-to-gether soon.
And no, it's not a tape-recorder or a cellphone, it's a small edition of the Book of Haelyn. So that i might divine His purpose with me.
Edit: Seriously though, if it's bothering people, i'll switch back to the old one.
-
Seriously, it's not bothering me, but I couln't resist teasing you a bit ;)

Oh you're a mean, mean Ned Stark! :'(
-
Let's break his leg and throw him in da dungeon!
-
Don't blow my cover, Heaht 8)
wow... why don't you decapitate me while you're at it? Seems to happen to Ned Stark no matter where he is hehe
-

That is a little drastic just to make the avatar smaller. :)
-
Look how BIG he is ;D
-
The Green Knight was grown up!! :)
-
Bjorn, I found you the perfect avatar!
(http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cyric_med.jpg)
-
this is probably too big, but let's see
-
This seems suitably ominous, though it might be a bit over the top . . .
-
Considering the last avatar of him, was Lord Soth from Dragonlance... i think you'll be good.
-
It has to be borne in mind that the Sword Mage is officially female now though, which is why I cropped this picture to basically show just the helmet.
And she won't actually be wearing heavy suits of armour, so that's a bit misleading as well. ;)
But it does capture something of the Sword Mage's nature that should give others pause before dealing with, or crossing, her.
-
Is there a particular site you folks are going to for your avatars? I've found a couple I like quite a bit, but I am a touch paranoid about downloading from a completely random site (viruses= >:( )
-
I usually just rummage around inside a folder of avatar images I've accumulated over the years.
-

Scary, now she can use her femaleness as an asset...

Not as long as she's wearing that darned helmet, she can't!
-
I could always go with something like this. ;)
-
Looks attractive and evil enough, but isn't she the sister of Drago Tanar, the Vos priest of Belinik..errr.... Cuiraecen? ;) I.e. shouldn't she look more..mongolish? :)
(funny how Rich Baker and the gang gave the Vos Slavic names and a Mongol outlook :P)
-
How about this one?
-
Much better :o
Looks soo kind and trusting, the type and heirless lord would want to marry ;D
-
Mmmm, then I'd only need to outlive you and I'd inherit all your lands too ... :-*
-
See, the pretty sword mage gives me the fear! ;)
-
i'm giving up on the life as a templar, and putting all my efforts into the clothing and dyeing business... Seems black is the colour of the season, so i should be making a dime or two there...
-
Testing, testing, one, two, sibilance... sibilance

Black was always the favoured colour of the rich and famous in medieval europe, partly because of its cost and exclusivity therefore. Always was a good business to be in ;)

Much prettier now - she looks a lot like the mother of one particular PC in a P&P campaign...brings back fond memories...

Did you give him extra XP on account of his mom? ;D
-
She must have been a MILLU... Mother I'd Like to Level Up ;D
or, "Hey Baby, what's your kit?'
-

No, but he got a whole lot of grief from her...with her trying to 'help' her prodigal son achieve his manifest destiny and all...shows that adventurers don't like their mom's trying to help them defeat the forces of evil.
-
Anyone got a link to a good site for avatars? Only ones I could find so far looks like crap and are 60x60 pxl.
Edit: I found one!
Edit 2: I know this looks suspicious, but OT is really a nice guy! It's not his fault that a stupid paparazzi came with his brush and canvas just as he was preparing the filét mignon!
-
Nice to see such a nice guy having such a nice picture :)
-

I'd still like some suggestions - I don't know where to even start.
-
That's the Prince of Persia and he IS a nice guy.... a bit psychotic in the 3rd game due to the split personality, but a nice guy overall =p
and here is a website
http://drakonis.org/
High quality pictures, but kinda limited in number.
-
let me see if this works
-
It works pretty well - she can come rule my guild too...
-

yeah, she wouldn't have to run too many times around *my* guild, before she'd be invited inside, if you get my drift *snicker snicker*
-
And here I stand, your helpful friendly Carvaloen!
-
Make room for your elder (h)ailing from Alamie.

****This is only a test. If this were an actually meeting and you were actually seeing me it would only be after I've already stabbed you in the back. I repeat, this is only a test.****

rofl :o

Testing of my avatar and signature (not sure on my actual title, just a placeholder.)
-
Acceptable?
-
Hermedhie, et. al: Dig the avatars. From one rookie RoE player to another, welcome aboard!
-
Welcome neighbour! I'm sure we'll find things to talk about once the game gets underway. ;)
-
Anybody have any suggestions for good sources for avatar pictures. The standard forum pictures are somewhat lacking in selection...
-
I'm a good source of avatar pictures ;D (write me a mail with some specs and I'll send you a couple of suggestions).
Otherwise I'd say the following:
Thematical search on google pictures (certain descriptors, historical names, physical features etc.)
The British national portrait gallery: http://www.npg.org.uk/live/index.asp
Google "portrait gallery"
Movie pics (IMDB search for any medieval movie and then googlepic the actors)
D&D homepages - both computer games & tabletop rpg (tons of stuff in there) Best site I know:
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=nwn2portraits.list&show_days_back=10
-
Well, I've tried looking for old women for br wiki and struggled - lots of women <from warm countries> but very few old women - even searching for nuns gives you lots of young women (and some deeply disturbing images but that's the web for you).
-
Ok, I've given up on finding a good avatar, and settled on something passable. It covers the bald, grim and grey beard. Please ignore the braided mustache. That's just starting to make it look like me.
-
test.
-
test.
Self portrait?
-
no it is just a picture of the net with no copyright notice on it. I am not as big boned as him but the hair color and the complection is about right ^_^
