This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Zachary The FirstSo, is there a reason why you picked the avatar you did?


Because I'm twisted and evil. More machine than man..;)

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they\'re stupid.They\'re just being trendy because they can\'t understand The God Delusion because they don\'t have the education, plus they\'re just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you\'re the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.

I like Monty Python.

I might change the avatar one of these days, though.

Jeff Cooper is about the closest thing I've ever had to a real-life hero.  I've enjoyed reading his commentaries since I was a kid.  He died last year.  I kind of like the picture (he really looks like the old curmudgeon and surly cuss that he was) so I think I'll stick with it for a while.

My avatar is from the 3d avatar making site Meez. It was a fun little time killer and it produced a pretty rendition of me so I thought "why not"?

Here's a full pic:


The sword is a small homage to my handle, Zweihander.

Edit: Ooops. Makes sense that if I use a link to post it and fiddle with the pic later it would change
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

I'm still waiting for people to pick and agree on an avatar for me.
Bloody democracy...I might have to give up on all of you'se and embrace dictatorship (ie, pick my own).

I wanted to be sure that you had all seen the Yellow Sign.

Who's Jeff Cooper?

And yes, the fox picture is cute.

What is that Balbinus? It looks like a one-legged question mark with a scorpion tail. I suppose it could be symbolic of some of the trips I went on back in the day.

It's the Yellow Sign, it gets used in CoC a lot, though originally it goes back to a writer named Chambers.  It is a sign of madness and entropy, viewing it according to the source stories allows certain forces to enter your life usually to cause destruction and madness.

My login name is a reference to my favorite Angel episode, and the avatar is, of course, the Devil Robot from Futurama, except done up all green cuz of that "Go Play!" dealie over on RPGnet that I thought was a cool concept.

Also known as the Gunner's Guru, he is considered the father of modern shooting techniques.  Apart from that, he was known for his poltical and social commentaries. He was a marine, professor, firearms instructor, hunter, author, and all-around good guy.
