weekend plans

Due to a couple of conflicting things and the fact that I can earn $100 if I am around town on Friday evening and Saturday morning, I have opted out of a trip down to Pennsylvania this weekend.

Since I do have Saturday evening and Sunday morning free, I would like to take this time to go to Worcester and join in on Gaming Weekend. I should be at WPI starting around 5:00 on Saturday and leaving at 3:30 or so Sunday. Anything cool so far planned for those times?

D&D: trying to find character portrait

Inspired by shadowravyn's recent post displaying the images she found online to depict one of her gaming characters, I began searching around to find pictures for my character in londo's Tuesday night game.

Do you know how fucking difficult it is to find fantasy artwork of a female cleric (or female of any type) who is moderately dressed? This is painful! This is the mini I use, and a good depiction of how dressed I want to be.

I have found these, of which none are accurate:

This is supposedly a picture of Goldmoon, though I don't know her to have ever been out of her furs. Still, right Goddess at least, but I don't wield that particular staff, just a quarterstaff.

This is at least a decently-attired human female, but the coloring and weaponry is all wrong.

This is not great quality and also a bit too Mary Sue for me. Sure my character is blond, but that's just because that was an easy color to paint the mini!

This is an official image from the D&D website, but once again, the coloring and weaponry are wrong.

Ooh, this is not bad. Being black and white, I could edit out the mace entirely and the top of the staff. Hmmmm...

Mmmm, pretty!

This is pretty darned good...

She is dressed well.

I will probably continue adding pictures to this post as I go.

Point of note: This image is pretty poignant, and nerdx111 might like it.
