These look great, Obidancer.

One thing I'd like to note is that trolls should have dermal plating that is noticeable.  A smooth skinned troll is actually a formori (like the character Angus).

There has been a trend over the years to sort of 'beautify' trogs in Shadowrun, but the trolls have an actual advantage (+1 Armor) from their dermal plating and I think that should show in their portraiture.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

I actually fully agree. Something i haven't mastered yet.

Everybody, I apologize for immediately following up my statement that I will post 'EVERYDAY' with not posting today.  I wanted to post, but am wanted everyone to at least post once.  It did not occur to me that there would be folks who wouldn't post on day one.

I will post tomorrow morning my time.

Further, if you are taking part in SDS and want to join a Skype Chat for the game, please use the link below:

That should get you there.

Ok Jayde...

I hate to do this, but I'd like to change my mind a third time. :)
I originally made this character for shits and giggles as part of the "Sum to ten all C" challenge, but I really started to like him as I worked on him.
He's an elven former UCAS armed forces medevac pilot. Rigger/Adept with his own helicopter and everything! He's not nearly as effective outside it as he is inside it, but he's still good backup in a fight. (Of course, I DO realize that the times I'll get to actually USE the helicopter in game will be VERY limited, but still, I just love this guy. I'm willing to risk it.)

I give you, Early-Bird.

Ok Jayde...

I hate to do this, but I'd like to change my mind a third time. :)


I really enjoyed Redline's origin story (on the portal here: https://shaking-the-shadows.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/say-nara-big-red ), so I kind of hope that in some future 'month' she might come back out to play, but as an inveterate character-waffler I have to admire the poise on the last minute switch :p

I was never playing redline. Redline was the character of whatever player dropped out to make room for Earlybird and I.

Redline was the character of the player you replaced in Tri Tri Again.  The player is unable to make the commitment to the game, so opted out.

I think Beta was trying to put across that it is both a shame Redline left and exciting that you are on board.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

No--I was just confused about who was playing who, and picked up on Early Bird replacing Redline but missed the player change--sorry.  (Very much admiration to JM for keeping all of us straight!  Apparently I do much less well at it).  Think of it as "I make some friendly chit-chat to get to know the group better" "Oops, glitched etiquette roll .... "

My apologies for getting you mixed up.  I am sincerely looking forward to seeing late arrival Early Bird in action, however -- the all priority C challenge is cool, so pretty neat to see one of the results hitting play like this :)
