I don't normally go in for too much of the mamby, pamby Tangency-esque stuff, but I thought this would be fun and informative.
I'm seeing a lot of new avatars with familiar names. I've changed mine. So why did you change your avatar to it's current state?
My old one was a leaf 'cause I loves me some nature. But it was really old, small, and not a lot of fun. So with the new site, I decided to go for a new look.
I picked a bear 'cause I love bears. When I play shapechanging characters, bear is a popular choice for me. The Gurahl are my favorite oWoD shifters. I've got books on bears, watched DVD documentaries, etc..
And this past weekend, I was up at the family cabin. A bear came around Friday night. I didn't get to see him, but I heard him ("whuff whuff whuff") and I found what could bear tracks up the mountain a bit. Saturday night, I sat watching the Matrix with the door open, camera at the ready, in case he came back.
So I've got bear on the mind.
Plus, I just happen to like my new photo.

So many people seem unhappy when they discuss gaming. I am not. My new avatar is sort of a metaphor for that.
I was toying around with some other images of Mortimer, but felt like I should stick with the tried and true. I did lift the EGG memorial black armband, just because enough time has passed.
I hope everybody but Stuart can stick with their current avatar. I associate people with their avatars. It confuses me when they change, except Stuart, who always changes.
I only changed mine because I was at work and didn't have access to the Han Solo one.
Walkerp, does my habit of aways including a pink tie help you out?
I like Spore.
I'm also using that image as the logo for my new site (which will hopefully go up later this week), so I figured I may as well keep things consistent.
I've been meaning to make an icon for awhile. This will do for now.
It's my player's characters, from the campaign I'm running, rendered in Order of the Stick style. From left to right, they are Golden Axe, Brandar the Total Elf, Zoltan Ördög, and Barth Mader.
I'm obviously Jorune loving.

I just felt like a change, but wanted it still to be a portrait of me.
Ideally it would be me dressed as a Saxon warrior or spaceman or something, or perhaps wearing a Viking Hat, but amazingly I have no such pictures of me lying about :)
So I went over here (http://illustmaker.abi-station.com/index_en.shtml) and made a cartoony one.
Actually there is one of me at about 13 where I'm sitting with a D&D module, perhaps I should use that!

The current Avatar is Barry from Realm of Atland (http://www.realmofatland.com/).
I usually try to pick something very serious, because talking about Roleplaying Games on a website message board in our spare time is *serious* business and we need to keep that in mind at all times.:D
My new avatar is actually the one that I created for when I was a member of the sooper seekrit Internet society, Sedes Sub Rosa. I quit out of embarrassment, but it was a cool av. I'm still a sasquatch in real life, but I was so pleased with the nautilus, I had to put it to better use. Besides, I've started using it at other sites as well.
!i!
I couldn't find my old one. My old HD died, so I had no local copy, and Google Image Search failed me. So I picked another like it.

I have at least some 47 or more avatars stored in a file on this computer thats nicknamed "Avatar Parking". The Klingon face & outfit ones are used for the SJG forums, Yottaquest forums, and the CAG forums.
The regular Human face (mostly) are used for this site, D20 Heaven, Midnight's Lair ...etc....

New look site, new look avatar - simple as that really. Although, my old one was from my Tonto RPGnet days, so i figured it needed changing anyhow.
Because this guy's (http://www.myspace.com/macabrevultur) art kicks ass.
It's a photo of me fed through a face transformer that makes it look like a painting.
I've kept the same avatar, although at some point I'll bother to increase the size to match the max width. I considered using a shot of my own face, but I didn't want to make you all jealous of my transcendent awesomeness.

was your real face.
No, I think the only people on the board using unretouched images of themselves as avatars are you and Caesar Slaad.

Quote from: Seanchai;217221I'm seeing a lot of new avatars with familiar names. I've changed mine. So why did you change your avatar to it's current state?
It's just a new take on my old "consonants" concept, done in a larger size.
It's basically an inside joke with RPG.net, when I was unregistered and just typed random letters like this "gikgkjgkg" for my name.
I didn't change because Brett or one of the other mods suggested we stick to the old ones. And, as you know, I'm all about getting along with everyone.
I don't do Avatars, never have.
I may dig up the old Eeyore Avatar the nutkins gave me, I sort of liked that one for some strange reason.
Edit: Or I could go with this one... it sort of represents my reaction to the online world much of the time.
Well I have never used avatars before but decided to start giving it a go. It's boring having to search for a pic you like and fit the *precise* guidelines of forum A, B or C.
The bald, bearded dude looks so unlike me I thought "Gotta have that one!".
Does this make sense?
Quote from: Seanchai;217563Who don't?
Apparently everyone here.
Jorune's fifteen minutes was in a WtF thread that was briefly popular around here last year. I'm almost envious of GrimGent, at least he get's to talk about
Nob when the game is attacked....

Yes, I can work with that. I did feel that the Conehead truly captured your attitude best, but I like the consistent pink tie theme. I'll know it's you. As it is now, I'm going to have to re-figure everybody's personality all over again.
Quote from: walkerp;217717.................. As it is now, I'm going to have to re-figure everybody's personality all over again.
Not with me man - My avatars are always my face, ...I'm just wearing different shirts or jackets depending on the picture.

Yeah...but I wish the attacks would be the "

I liked the Stephen King Avatar I was using but this new Avatar is to show my love for two fisted tales
Now I feel behind the times . I will have to get a new avatar.
Maybe I'll draw one myself this time.

I usually stick with something from my collection of old pulp covers, since i dig the artwork. If it weren't for those, i'd use a pic of one of my dogs.

She's hot, where's she from?
Quote from: Jackalope;218092She's hot, where's she from?
Damnit - there's only one of me, please look at your page of the script
not mine.
Thank you.
I thought it would be fun to refresh my Avatar but I wanted to keep the same guy in roughly the same pose as not to confuse everyone. I saw the flattened perspective on this one and I thought woah! Japanese Catholic synergy powers unite!
I changed mine again because I finally found a picture of Dracula (aka 'Dracala') that looked like what I HAD wanted a few months ago.
I thought I'd better get a new avatar so I could post in this thread.

Same old avatar for me. It's me + the dukes - the ladies:p
Quote from: KrakaJak;218181Same old avatar for me. It's me + the dukes - the ladies:p
You know, I've been meaning to ask something for some time. Are you supposed to be Fightin' Abe Lincoln in that photo? I know you're a wrassler, so I thought maybe it was your ring persona. And if it's not, it should be. And you should find yourself a gigantic, round behemoth of a tag team partner whose persona is The Indomitable William Howard Taft (
Taft! He's one bad mother...shut'cho mouth!). Together your could beat the shit out of The Roosevelt Cousins. Cousin Frankie could, like, break a wicker wheelchair over Taft's back when he has Cousin Teddy in a lock, and you could jump in the ring and totally suspend the Writ of Habeus Corpus on his punk ass.

What new Avatar?
Just because the forum changes doesn't mean that I have changed.
Quote from: Engine;217558No, I think the only people on the board using unretouched images of themselves as avatars are you and Caesar Slaad.
:killingme:
Anyways, I have changed from using this Avatar on CM (twice), but didn't quite feel in the mood to do so here. I'll change when the mood strikes me.
Were we supposed to get new avatars?
Dammit guys - why didn't I get the memo?
Mad I'm seeing other forums on the side? Is that it?
