Amazing how a one little picture like that can change one's life. Frame it...place it in a place of honorDavetheLost wrote:
This was my introduction to Middle Earth. One of my Dad's students gave me a copy of the Hobbit. It was my first actual "grown-up" book that hadn't already been on the family bookshelves.
Yeah, that's a wonderful addition to a game, cept now it means the PCs can't die.Rich H wrote:I wanted to make sure I was okay posting this first (I am) but the picture that says it all for me is this one:
I commissioned Jon Hodgson to paint it for me. The characters in the picture are the PCs from my campaign - The Fellowship of the Free. Thogrim, Gilbrannon, Brand, Iwgar, and his hound 'Wolf'.
The picture is a composite of individual character paintings - which I also have, but the above picture is the one I'd pick to sum things up for me.

Yeah, Jon's a great artist. I loved his work on Dragon Warriors and when he was announced as one of the artists on the (then upcoming) One Ring I thought it was a perfect fit.DavetheLost wrote:Jon's painting of the "Fellowship" must be a wonderful thing for your group. They certainly have the look of an adventuring company in Middle Earth.
Cause a portrait like that makes them too awesome to kill now.Rich H wrote:Why?Giblet Blizzard wrote:... cept now it means the PCs can't die.
The player of the Dwarf said that once they were done! I'm not looking to kill the PCs but I do like the idea of getting Jon to produce more pictures based upon how the fellowship develops over time.Giblet Blizzard wrote:Cause a portrait like that makes them too awesome to kill now.
I disagree - a portrait like that works wonderfully with the caption underneath "the last known painting of the brave adventures before their tragic expedition to Dol Guldur/Moria/Mordor."Giblet Blizzard wrote:

It's ok. You can still maim them.
