All manner of scifi/fantasy/nerdness: Roleplaying, comic books, .... okay, so mainly just RPGs & comic books. And Dr. Who. And Firefly. And comic books. And role-playing games. And Community. And Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And comic books. And RPGs. And Avengers. And RPGS. And whatever else amuses me today...

I spent all day role playing for the first time in my life and I’m in love
Earthdawn is awesome!
What kind of T’skarng? Swordmaster?
I am so excited for D&D this Sunday, I can’t even describe it!
Hey I DM on Sunday nights and I can’t wait either! Small world?
What’s with everyone playing on Sundays? *Also a Sunday gamer*
I’m playing Earthdawn this Sunday. >.>
ZOMG! Somebody else posted something Earthdawnish!
In a sea of d&d, it’s always nice to some folks trying to stem the tide of d20s.
No idea where this is from, or who do did it, or what it’s supposed to be.
But from now on, it’s an Obsidiman birthcave.

Earthdawn Character Concept
So in the Earthdawn campaign that I’m playing, I’ve mentioned before that I’m playing as an Obsidiman Warrior.
(That’s one of the first edition’s stock art from back in the day.)
I talked to one of the other players, and we’ve coordinated our backstories so that we’re playing as brothers.

So I’m getting to actually PLAY in a campaign, instead of just GMing my Star Wars d20 game. For those of you unfamiliar with the world of “Earthdawn,” here’s a fairly accurate representation. It’s not quite as bad as “Call of Cthulhu.” It’s maybe just one small notch above “Shadowrun” on the “If you enjoy this game you’re a masochist” skill.
I really enjoy Earthdawn. It has, in my opinion, the best character development mechanics of any system. I’m playing an Obisidiman Warrior in this new campaign.
The problem is, Earthdawn isn’t very well known, and there’s almost ZERO fan art out there for Obisidimen. The tumblr tag is empty, so I’m having to either revert to one of the 6 stock images from the book, or search through millions of stone golem posts to find one that actually looks humanoid.
/sigh… nerd world problems
