Welcome to RPG Corner, a place where you can share your knowledge and thoughts of the Role Playing Game world. Each week we will have a new topic to discuss, so feel free to talk it up, make suggestions, post images, and have a good time.
This week's topic is getting around, and I don't mean what happens if you eat too many donuts.
A lot of travel in RPGs can come down to your GM waving his hand and declaring your characters are where they wanted to go. But it's a lot more fun when your mounts get brought into the picture. Whether your ride is a battle-trained pure Arabian stallion or a fusion-powered time-traveling DeLorean, transportation can be the key to fun.
So what's your favorite ride from any of your RPG exploits? How do you get around when you have the choice, whether by air or sea or ground? Have you ever had a vehicle or mount that was truly bizarre, memorable, or just flat-out fun?

I hardly ever draw with anything but my Wacom tablet, and when I do it's almost always just a doodle while I'm on the phone or whatnot. Someone asked for a sample of that the other day, so here you go -- I drew this while talking with a realtor about an upcoming move. It's actually drawn with a ball-point pen on a piece of note paper because that's what's by the phone.

I just posted a handful of new armors to the HeroMachine 3 Tops-Male-Fantasy-Armor set. The two things in particular I'd like your feedback on are the shading and patterning on this one (uses the 30% shadow integrated into the object, pattern doesn't go on the metal borders or skulls):
And the chainmail effect on this one (chain links are color2), namely, does it work and look good like this or should I do the links throughout the entire shirt:
Thanks! As usual, if you don't see the new items, clear your cache in your browser.

I've just posted the first 14 items in the still-under-development "Tops-Male-Fantasy-Armor" set for your early adopting pleasure to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha:
These are basically the twelve existing Fantasy Armor pieces from HM2 (though not the Expansion), minus the last two shoulder pads which are, for all intents and purposes, available in Shoulder-Right.
Two things I'd like to get your feedback on regards patterning and shading. I included semi-transparent shading on a couple of the armors, which overlay the controllable colors. Do you like that, or would you rather I made those areas solid black (line color)? Or leave them off entirely?
Regarding patterning, right now the patterns cover the entire item. I could restrict that, so for instance you wouldn't get pattern on the shoulder pads or whatnot. The catch is that anything that's color1 gets a pattern to it. So I'd have to rejigger how the colors are set up in the item to make that happen.
Anyway, let me know what you thing. I am now moving on to the many (many) fine suggestions posted by you all to complete the set. That's going to take a while, but I'll probably release them in stages as I get them done so you don't have to wait till the very end when it's all completely finished.
