The first shout-out in this blog goes to
one of my old high school friends, Karen Leonardo. I ran into her my first year
in high school at the activities fair. She was president of the Simulation
Gaming Society (SGS) that year and was manning their booth at the time. I had
already decided that I was going to join the chess club which met on the same
day, so I politely declined to join. That didn’t stop her from chasing me down
the hall, trying to get me to join, when she caught me eyeing the RPG books she
had on display. As it turned out, the chess club people were less than likable
and a few weeks later I joined SGS where I hung out after school, Thursdays, for
the rest of high school. Thanks Karen.
Since then Karen
has been to college and got her degree in art some years ago. Now, for $20,
she’s offering to paint a portrait for your RPG character. Ever wanted an image
to illustrate what your character looks like to your group but don’t have the
skills to draw it yourself? Ever wanted a group picture for the party to
immortalize that one favorite campaign? Well, here’s a link to her webpage: http://www.etsy.com/listing/99310780/rpg-character-portrait
