Actually wait, they could have just advertised it as "Momir with a skill tree." Then it actually sounds both somewhat parallel to what's going on and makes it appear like they have any ounce of knowledge as to what on earth they're talking about

Hey, Momir became its own game mode!...

Three Winters (aka Winter), a Siamese cat tabaxi artificer (Artillerist subclass). On his back is a large runic crossbow, and he holds a mostly wooden cannon inspired by pinewood derby cars from the Boy Scouts. I imagine he was in a troop of a similar vogue in his kittenhood, and now helps run his old troop, teaching them woodworking and perhaps some fun sciencey lessons. It's a work in progress.

Some minor tweaks to his face, and major ones to his cannon. I dunno if I can call it "done" per se, but I'm happy with how he ended up.

I found the Circle Gradient projected decal and all became right with the world. Some color tweaks would do well for him, but Winter now looks like an actual Siamese cat instead of looking like the smoke from his cannon caked his face with soot.

Or maybe it still does and it looks thematic, heh.

... that's militaristic to a harrowing degree. I compared this cannon of his - made of wood - to a soapbox derby car, and that was what sprung to mind. Originally he was going to be some academic engineer, but now him being part of some bespoke club of tinkerers and demolitionists sounds awesome.

Heroforge Silliness #3 - Three Winters (aka Winter)

I just wanted to make a Siamese cat tabaxi. Then I made him an Artillerist. And then this happened.

So LoadingReadyRun's local-town-radio comedy skit Qwerpline sometimes features news stories about a pretend Girl Scout-esque group...

I’m in a rental car (a Nissan Versa, supposedly a real car) and I absolutely cannot get over the CLEARLY FREEHAND-DRAWN lines on the backup camera??!?

I stress to you, reader, these are the lines that appear on the car’s display. They are not the kind that β€œbends” it’s just an MSPaint PNG.

Cornyn, meanwhile, also turned out +20 or so over Paxton. It's a weird ruling, but probably won't matter in the long run.

Likely not. Crockett popped off hard in Dallas by a margin of +22.5 so far.

... whom at the moment I'm calling Jihu (which is also a Mahjong term literally known as "Chicken Hand", an otherwise worthless hand of tiles that in some rulesets is still a qualifying hand to go out on. Maybe an indication of how Tengwu felt about him in spite of others' feelings? Hmm.)

And yeah. I think we're done.

Meet... Tengwu. As he's undergone a radical shift (or more accurately, undergone Rule 63), so he should have a different name. It's a Mahjong term, indicating waiting for a final tile to complete a hand; maybe he's searching for a way to bring back a loved one...

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

Heroforge Silliness. *Now* the final pass. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe.

Wasn't sure whether to add the border overlay I tend to do for portraits - there's a fear that the space around him needs to be filled in with something, but perhaps there's value in subtlety. Either way, quite the journey.
