Illustrator Neill Cameron has been putting together an "A to Z of Awesomeness". Each day he creates an illustration based on reader suggestions for each letter of the alphabet. For instance, here's his "M" entry, "Modok's Melancholy Mouseketeer Memories":
The illustrations themselves are great, and the subject matter is hilarious. I really like the idea and the execution both, hats off to him.
I've been trying to think for a while of some sort of collaborative effort like this, either where you all make suggestions for an illustration you'd want for the SOD, or somehow we make an illustration challenge for the day that you could work on either in HM or on your own. Any ideas?

I've just posted the first set of ItemRight-Music items to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha:
These are the ones I could "easily" convert from either HM2 or the Rock Star mini. And at that, they weren't all that easy, I had to do a lot of cutting and resizing and re-pasting/re-drawing.
I'm still working on the set, with all your suggestions in the last post still pending, but rather than make you wait for the complete release, I figured you might want to play with these as long as they were done. I tried to make the pattern-holding area fit on the face of the guitar, so with a little judicious sizing and moving, you can apply (for instance) the Union Jack flag from Insignia to the guitars.

Hammerknight pointed out that we probably have a lot of RPG players here, and suggested that we introduce a series of posts on various topics related to gaming. I thought it sounded great, since I follow several RPG blogs, so we'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Feel free to talk it up, make suggestion, post images, and have a good time with the topic at hand. Which this week is:
If you were to fill out a "typical" ideal five-person RPG adventuring party with comic book super-heroes, who would you choose?
Discussion to follow.

Ladies and gentlemen, courtesy of the 1994-era Landmark Entertainment Group, I would like to show you what happens when you let a committee of marketing weasels design a super-powered character:
I like to imagine the meeting going something like this ...
Marketing Weasel Boss (MWB): We need a head villain to go with this whole Skeleton Warriors toy line.
Marketing Weasel 1 (MW1): Well, "skeleton" is right there in the name, I say we do something with that.
MW2: Great idea!
MW3: I definitely think we should play up the whole bones angle, you know, do away with all the skin and flesh and just do bones!
MWB: I think that's what a skeleton is, Bob.
MW1: Hey, you know what skeletons have instead of heads? SKULLS!
MW2: Eeeeww!
MW2: That is so true!
MW3: Wow, yeah, that would totally fit on the body of bones! And you know what, since this guy is the head of the bad guys, and his head is a skull, we could really drive home the branding message by repeating that motif ...
MWB: You mean ... ?
MW1: That's right, skulls everywhere! Even kids can't miss that. Like maybe he has this big skull necklace.
MW3: And a skull on his shoulder pads!
MW2: Lots of skulls on his should pads!
MWB: Hey, I know, let's make his shoulder pads entirely out of skulls!
(General alarums and excursions and applauses and whatnot, huzzah!)
MW2: I like the way you think, Boss!
MW1: I don't know if we really nailed it yet, though, I feel like there is still some low-hanging fruit.
MW3, sotto voice: Not on a skeleton there ain't ...
MW2: Well ... If having the head of the skeletons have a skull for a head is good ...
MW3: And if repeating skulls everywhere is better ...
MW1: Then ... we could ... yes! Put a skull on his skull!
(General alarums and excursions and applauses and whatnot, huzzah!)
MWB: Brilliant! Have some dweeb in Art draw it up and send it to manufacturing, we're geniuses, gentlemen!
I certainly think that scenario is plausible, at least.
