This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I'm trying to figure out the artist's views on dinosaur skin/fur from his blog, how much of it is speculative and what's informed by science. Wish I could find it all summarized in one place. I guess I'm like a decade behind on the state of paleoart.
ReplyDeleteThe thing with some of people I've been following lately is that they're not afraid to be pretty speculative. Like here, there's no hard evidence of fuzzy adult T-Rexes, but it's seeming like more and more like just about every theropod late Jurassic on is showing up with evidence of feathers, so why not paint it?
ReplyDeleteFor a long time the refrain was "only draw what the fossils show," so you got reconstructions where the skin looks stretched over muscle and bone.
