Volvos also have a steel roll cage around their passenger compartment if I'm not mistaken in my memory of the ads they used to have for them.

OH! I was right, here is a picture of it! :

There´s no doubt in anyone who knows about what happened to him that if he had been in a smaller car, he wouldn´t be alive today..


Take care of your son, mALX, and don´t forget to make him an apple pie

His favorite is pumpkin pie, lol. But I will! Thanks Mirocu!

Then save the apple pie for me!!



Dad and I took down a couple of oaks today. They grew quite close to the cottage and we thought it´d be best if they didn´t anymore.


And just to prove it happened...

I did the best I could with what materials I have in reach. If I could find a way to cut this down to size....

Anyway, I did this little project for the ongoing RP we've got going on. I figured it needed a little love. Like I said, I made this with what materials I have in reach, and those materials were an iPhone and a nifty little app I DL just for this. I apologize if this seems an "Uleni peacocking" and the size makes it a little awkward to look at BUT. What do you guys think? Is it doable and good enough?

That is siiiiiick! Love me some Dark Souls.

I love making posters for the RPGs I'm in. It's a lot of fun.

I considered using Darkest Dungeon for a while but it was a little cartoony. But yeah, I agree with you that making posters for the RPs we're in is a lot fun; it makes it more alive and authentic and all that stuff. The only thing we need now is a theme song and we're set!

I have theme songs for all the RPGs I've run as well. Works so far are:


Land Under Siege
The poster I put together for the finale of a fantasy/Wild West themed Pathfinder campaign I ran, Land Under Storm. The theme was Man With a Harmonica by Ennio Morricone.

Behemoth
The second, and the one which took the most effort in actually using GIMP on my part, was for a now sadly aborted post-apocalyptic campaign using the Sins system, a soon-to-be-published game that plays like a mix between Shadowrun and Exalted and somehow manages to be even crazier than the sum of its parts. The campaign's theme was If I Had a Heart by Fever Ray, fitting as one of the campaign's major factions were a group of techno-vikings.

RunLondon
And this for my upcoming Shadowrun campaign, set in a futuristic cyberpunk London. Main theme is Controlling Crowds by Archive. So stoked about running this.

Looks good Uleni. Damn good.

I love the look of that property! It looks just like so many areas of the Smoky Mountains!







This is fantastic, Uleni !!!!!







Another facet of the Mustard emerges!

Very cool work on the those pics Mustard!

Queensryche - Walk In The Shadows is a great Shadowrun song. They have a lot of good Shadowrun songs, like I Dream In Infrared, and I Am I. Back in the day I actually made a 5 cd set of songs to play as background music during gaming sessions. Each focused on some different facet of the SR world, like organized crime, the corporations, living in the shadows, and of course actually running them. Things like in The City - by Joe Walsh, Bedlam Bridge - by Midnight Oil, The Garden - By GNR and Alice Cooper, Ride Across The River - by Dire Straits, Electric Eye - by Judas Priest, Uprising - by Damn Yankees (a great song for the NAN), and so many more.

I will add them to playlist! Cheers SR

I made all this a loong time ago. I am thinking there must be some good songs by Thirty Seconds to Mars and Angels and Airwaves that would fit Shadowrun. Like This is War, or The Adventure.

I'm using that new song "Lean On" by whogivesaflying (the one that goes "blow a kiss, fire a gun") as my Shadowrun main theme. Haven't come across one for my irl D&D game.

@SubRosa: Night of the Hunter by 30STM seems like a good song for a setting like Shadowrun.

EDIT: Alibi seems good too, for some emotional cyberpunk/urban fantasy existential crisis.

Some good ones guys!

I clear forgot. Harmony Steel made a whole bunch of mostly instrumental Shadowrun songs. I love Coming Home, but there is also Dante's Inferno, Urban Shaman, Tripping The Deck, and Path Of The Bard.

And let's not forget the Shadowrun Movie Trailer

And in a drastic turn of events, I suddenly prove to have been an American all along!!

BWAAHAA!!!

Hihihihihi


On another note, we have had some nice, cold weather today. Colonel Autumn is upon us

Not here, we are in our dog days - a little late starting them this year for some reason. We normally have them in August, this year they didn't start till September.
