To be completely honest, my understanding of RPGs and their characters falls just slightly above my knowledge of 20th century Russian politics. A number of folks have floated the idea in the past of an RPGĀ series, so I did a little googling, as you do, and to my surprise I found the lists of classes and characters pretty intriguing.
So to start Round 1, your CDC this week is to write a brief synopsis that explains and describes the world of your RPG,Ā and create a member of the Fighter Class. This is the group that includes Knights, Paladins and Barbarians, among others.
There is no limit on entries this week, so feel free to enter more than once.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPGās or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning. Only post characters that have been created solely using Hero Machine, and that you know for certain have never been entered inĀ a contest before. If you arenāt certain, donāt enter it, because Iām not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
All entries must be in JPG or PNG formĀ (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (likeĀ the HeroMachine :,ImageShack,Ā PhotoBucket, or whatever);
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
- Please name your filesas [your name]-[character name].[file extension]Ā before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his āBayou Belleā character image asĀ DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
Please make the link goĀ directly to the imageĀ (likeĀ this) andĀ not to a hosting jump pageĀ (likeĀ this).
This contest will close on Sunday, May 28th at 9:00am Eastern.
