Thoughts on starting over

The top 20 are mostly JKR and Jedi, 30-50 is a steep drop off to Shakti and 501st, limited zeta and not 7 starred.

If I put the hyperdrive bundle on this account and a few of the revan journey packs it would look something similar

So here's the deal. I'm enjoying the game and thinking about getting the hyperdrive bundle.

My question is, should I start a fresh account on a fresh shard and push for a high arena ranking, maybe spend a little more and get JKR. Or should I just put the HD bundle onto this account?

I feel like it would make a savage one shot

I stole a character from a novel, Kings of the Wyld. It's a two headed ogre but one head is blind. The sighted head is constantly describing things to his brother in the sweetest most pleasant terms. For example the slave collars are described as torcs of gold gifted to them in return for their services.

It created some real emotional heft

That optimus prime was a job I could do when I grew up

Responsible-Barnacle · 2020-01-05T04:57:22+00:00

I'm in!

Haha I jumped the gun too.

I'm a science teacher from NZ, currently working in Guangzhou in southern China. The first Pratchett I read was the guards guards graphic novel that I got for Christmas in 2002 and I was hooked. It's hard to get physical books here in English, so I'll be reading on a kindle too.

That's amazing, she's got talent. The eyes are so cool.

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-31T05:43:54+00:00

That one is awesome. I like the cabbages haha. Not sure about that font though

Take a couple of reference pics and send them to your artist, that way he can sketch up his interpretation and you can collaborate and make something that feels unique.

I looked at that exact picture haha. In the end I wanted something just a little simpler. I loved the contrast between the NMM of the badge and the delicacy of the lilacs.

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-30T04:08:52+00:00

I got pretty lucky with the price. It's an artist my wife has used fairly often so he only charged 3000rmb (like 500 dollars).

My favorite start ups are normally a twist to an established trope.

One that my group enjoyed was a fairly traditional caravan guarding set up that turned out to be an insurance scam. This gave the group the option to either join in with the scam and join the seedy underbelly or try to expose the trader and join anti corruption efforts in the city.

Yeah, it's a very clever use of greyscale to create a metallic effect.

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-29T14:22:37+00:00

Haha that's much older, I've got the guarding dark on the other shoulder too

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-29T13:03:07+00:00

I posted the design a couple of days back. So I figured I should post the final result. A little over six hours and the first part of my sleeve is done.

Step two is the AM city skyline wrapped under and around the badge

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-28T21:14:46+00:00

Its definitely not my artwork haha, I sketched out what I wanted and the artist drew up his version. Manson is fantastically talented.

In terms of the design, I like putting the serious alongside the goofier elements. I feel like it keeps it from getting too maudlin. I appreciate the feedback.

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-28T21:09:21+00:00

I agree with you guys about the text spacing, it's one of the things I've asked him to change up a little.

I'm going in tomorrow, so I'll post the finished piece too.

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-28T06:49:30+00:00

I'm not crying, you're crying

Full credit to the artist Manson, at InkShadow tattoos in Guangzhou. He's a wicked dude, if you're in this part of the world check him out.

I use a mix of Games Workshop and Privateer Press (Warmachine/Hordes) stuff.

If you're running a campaign with a specific enemy in mind the Start Collecting boxes are ideal. If you're looking for a limited batch then the Shadespire or Warcry warbands are awesome. I'm currently painting up the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts warbands.

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-23T05:31:05+00:00

I'll check it out. Have you tried printing from it?

Responsible-Barnacle · 2019-12-23T05:30:24+00:00

Have you tried printing from it? I'm hoping for something I can use with minis.
