Were these all created as part of some kind of "draw a young woman warrior fending off a beholder's eye ray" contest? I really dig the mix of styles on display here.

They were! Wizards had a whole bunch of different artists draw the same piece in their own style: https://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4dnd/behold

That kins of looks like someone drew a Guardians of the Galaxy knockoff (or a weird GotG piece where Groot wears a Luchador mask and Drax is the Pope).

Freaky-rear end hand. They're mind controlling parasites that take over people's bodies.

Also, they can fly and shoot fire, because why the hell not.

(Although they're supposed to be purple, and IIRC they attach to the base of the neck, not the chest.)

Yeah, it's supposed to be D&D rakshasa India (which are nothing like actual Indian folklore rakshasa).

lol @ "very occasional"

This. Wireless is bad for several reasons:
- interference (which only gets worse as more and more wireless devices exist in close proximity to each other).
- security (anyone in range can intercept your wireless traffic and decrypt/capture/redirect it relatively easily).
- bandwidth (with few exceptions, the bandwidth of the average wireless connection is still vastly inferior to that of the average wired connection).

If you're actually connecting to something important, you have no reason not to be doing it hardwired: a wired connection can't be intercepted short of physically tapping into the wire, won't suffer from interference, and will have dramatically faster throughput than a wireless connection.

Captain Foo posted:

not to derail too badly, but current wireless security standards are pretty good

I'm hypothesising cyberpunk hackers/counterhackers here (security experts with futuro-software), but it's still trivially easy to snoop on wireless traffic these days even if you're not going to have an easy time decrypting WPAv2.

Does anyone have tough-looking female soldiers in sensible modern/near-future fatigues/body armour? Trying to find anything on GIS leads to about 90% boobplates/cheesecake and about 10% good designs where the woman looks like a top model instead of someone whose face could be used to break down a door.

e; vv the Halo ones are good, thanks! The NS2 one kind of has the issue I mentioned with the women looking like models instead of people who've been through hell.

I'm not seeing good art for them in a quick search but the black knight weapons and the dragonslayer greatbow from Dark Souls are all huge for the purposes of killing huge things.

To give people an idea of the size of the greatbow:



It's also worth noting that most of the people in Dark Souls 1 are actually giants or descended from giants, and so are much bigger than the player. Their equipment magically shrinks down to human size when you equip it, but otherwise this is what a dragonslayer greatbow actually looks like at its original size:



That's Gough. He's a giant, and a knight, and has a greatbow. Check out how big he is relative to the player's normal, human-sized character.

The bow is poking out from behind him, slightly.



That's the bow being drawn by Gough.

e; this gives a good sense of the scale in motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpsi2aGKXPw

Not blind, his helmet's eye slits are covered in resin. From DS2, giants appear to be some kind of weird amalgamation of earth, tree and something.

DS2 giants and DS1 giants are completely different. DS1 giants are just big people (look at the Anor Londo knights). DS2 giants are the weird rock-tree things.

But that's not always an option for your average adventuring party

It should be. "We're going ogre hunting, break out the pikes" should be a thing in more systems.

You should try posting pictures instead of making GBS threads on contributions. The other leg is behind voluminous robes. gently caress yourself.

Maybe you should stop getting upset at people criticising bad art?

You know, just a suggestion.

That's clearly a Napoleonic-French-knockoff-of-Zorro hero of the Cyran people, fighting for New Cyre (who just secretly happens to be a warforged)

This. I don't think there's an issue of Rat Queens where there isn't a drunk/high character at one point.

Pretty sure they're the descendants of 3.5e dragonborns, which were paladins of Bahamut blessed with dragon parts. I think it was a Prestige Class

4E dragonborn are a race created by the dragons in ancient times and explicitly have nothing to do with what dragonborn were in 3.5.

Also, like all other draconic creatures in 4E, they're not actually reptiles, they're mammals who happen to look reptilian.

Is this actually from the new PHB? :swoon:

Not only a dwarf dame in the spotlight, but I remember reading an old battered paperbook copy of the book that passage is from back in middle school (gently caress off, Drizzt & co. were the poo poo back then)

It's from the starter set, in which the art is generally pretty great and inclusive. Unfortunately for that particular piece, the text next to it says dwarves mostly have deeply-tanned or light brown skin, and the art is of a white lady. :v:
