On Perceptions (Fate/Heresy Character Review)

 With Legend of Korra and Fate/Zero wrapping up this past weekend, I was left in a rather contemplative mood, and felt like doing something constructive.  And this is LIKE being constructive, right?

Anyway, because I know you AALLLLL wanted to make these for your Fate/Heresy characters, and were just being hobbled by me being slow with my "What the DM Saw" images, right?

My Completed Version (for lulz):

Anyway, the epilogue is on its way whenever I happen to finish polishing it and integrating Kory's section.  So, you know.  At a point in time.

On Old Favorites

It's been a while since I engaged with that image meme I love so much, but for a while, I had only a one or two role playing characters to meme up, and it was hard to get started.  Then when I got to critical mass, I was just lazy.

No longer!



Orpheus Agent Jared Argyris from Orpheus, Summer 2010

Veil Agent Mithan Dispara (Shadar-Kai Ranger), New Veras Campaign (D&D 4e), Fall 2010

Outcast Jerok the Honorless (Half-Orc Barbarian), New Veras Campaign (D&D 4e), Spring 2011

Taros Steelscream (Black Shield Assault Marine), The Cycle of Fate (Deathwatch), Summer 2011

Well, I expect to drop another one of these posts in a year or so.  I hope I'm lucky enough to have had yet another year of amazing RPGs to fool around in!

Edit: Bonus!

My Co-DM from the New Veras campaign has kindly provided his "what the DM actually saw" version of Mithan Dispara:

I can see that.  It's extra appropriate because I main Snake in Brawl.  And Mithan did love setting land mines.

On Doing Things Because Other People Don't...

By popular demand, the corrected version!

On Expectations, Reactions, and Results

Or, "HOW DID I MISS THIS MEME!?!"

For anyone who hasn't read the page or doesn't immediately understand it, I'll give you a gloss:

"What I Made" is a (hopefully) oversimplified version of your character concept.

"What the DM Saw" is how your DM perceived the question in character.

"What I Played" is a (hopefully) oversimplified version of how you played the character.

Now on to the fun part: characters of mine from past campaigns!

But yes, this meme combines two things I love: oversimplified character concepts and "What I watched/What I expected/What I got!"  If only the original /tg/ thread wasn't dead and gone...
