I see our self proclaimed resident "crotchey old geezer" even got a mention.

Congratulations Mac http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Actually that is a result of #se4 chats. Nothing self-proclaimed about it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

ah, back from the grind of the convention. Had a great time, Met Geo finally, and once again had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Tim, Richard, Annette and Mindi (Richard's Wife), Their booth was 100 times better then Last year's, it was bigger, roomier and had some new display stands. I had some very informative discussions with Annette, Tim, Richard and Mindi on current and upcoming releases. It was very interresting as to the direction Shrapnel is looking at. Also, I might add, Richard reported that he had seen the same chain mail fox.. er.. lady upon the premisis taht was the talk of the booth Last year. Alas I was unable to put my eyes upon her once more, but Richard assured me and Tim that her outfit this year was even skimpyier and more revealing then Last year. The Last I saw of Richard he was scrounging around for his camera http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I had a wonderful time, it was like being home and with my friends there at the booth. The Shrapnel group made me feel right at home. It was a pleasure to finally meet Geo and put a face with his name and talked with him about PBW ... I hope to see them all again next year.

Okay guys, and Mac, the pics from the Last two days are up.

BTW it was great to meet everyone who came by the booth.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Lol...It reminds me of the Last tabletop roleplay game i was in. The GM was female and she gave extra xp for whoever brought the most chocolate http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And that photo of Geo and Mac is just great. I can picture the whispered conversation now!

Geo: "Do you think they know?"
Mac: "No they couldn't, he didn't make that much noise"
Geo: "They'll cotton on eventually..."
Mac: "Yeah, but by the time they do Aaron Hall will be tied up in our car boot and then we'll see who has to wait for SEV!!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Looks like you had a great time, shame i live in england http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

The Chain Mail Fox, er Lady... Darn, I knew I left Origins to soon, either that or Richard and Tim kept hiding her until I left. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Richard was right, her outfit was ahem, more revealing this year... Oh the old ticker, (hurridly turns up his ol pacemaker).... ahhhhhhh, I WANT A 8X10 GLOSSY.......(could you cut out all the backround and just leave her by herself in the photo, all that clutter in the backround you know ruins the pic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ) The pic doesn't do her justice, much better in person....... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hey Mac, I couldn't resist, I 'fixed' the pic. the focus and lighting was all wrong. Would you like to see the end result of what I did? I have no place to put it, so I guess I could always send it via e-mail. (but the people here wouldn't see what the pic 'Should' have looked like in the first place.)

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Mac, Richard had me scale down all the pics for the pages, but I think this is really what you're looking for. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Mac you old dog http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Yep, must have been the shrapnel crew hiding her. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Chainmail with nothing underneath? Must be really uncomfortable to move around wearing that armor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hey, it is going to be even more revealing next year? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

I'd like to see her go thru a metal detector too!

Slick.

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Mindi, I thank you for talking with Richard for the better up close pic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Its good to see you posting as well, don't be shy now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Yep, the photo tells it all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Oh to be 10 yrs younger...... sigh

Attention Mac!,.. Here is a DeG rendering of the ChainmailGirl..

ROFL! Nice David. Looks like a daydream scene out of one of those 80's teen movies. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

WOW. You do great work. Thank you.
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/18/18_1_107v.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Wow! What's her name? Did you get her phone number? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Apparently she shows up every year. It was a running joke even before everyone got there this year. Comments about the "chain mail lady". I guess it will be next year also but I will understand it this time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

The chainmail outfit gets skimpier each year, right? So next year it might be a chainmail bikini like the ones you see in those D&D paintings. Somehow it magically protects the entire body even though it only covers a little bit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I like the dreamy light effect that David did. It makes her look prettier. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Btw, in case you didn't know my 'post-production-edit' of the ChainmailGirl started life as the image posted by Mindi further down in this thread. It's a good pic, but it just needed a bit of TLC.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif (and thanks for the kind comments. Now I just need to hear form Mac.)

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

I think I'm going to print out that pic you made David and take it next year and have her autograph it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">After a rather "philosophical" conversation with the old wise one i have to wonder if she does actually know the fan club she's inspiring.

This time next year This thread will have more than the B5Mod thread and will be renamed in her honour http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

By next year, the fans would have created a couple of shipsets with the Chainmail Fox as the race portrait, a "Chainmail Mod" for SE4 and somebody would have changed their avatar to her picture. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif And somebody would write a fan fiction story about her.

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It is well established knowledge that a leather jacket and jeans make male heroes invulnerable.
For women the rules are a bit different. The skimpier the outfit, the greater protection. Invulnerability only occures while skinclad. Good looks seriously helps Armour Class as well.

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

David, love the pic, it inspires the heart to go to full pumping, the adrenilin to flow faster, the male hormones to go into over drive, and for us oldsters, to dream of being younger, and order a double bottle of viagra http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Great http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Kewl. Now we have a name for her. David will have to send her the image she did. She might show gratitude.

Hmmmm I should send her a long email making suggestions about her web site.

Re: Origins pics on the front page
 

Image sent and I invited here to drop by here.

Time will tell.

Geo, you old letch http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Tks for the website, Oh My, I don't know if I can put up with the adrenilin flow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Well at least now we know her name.. She sure looks good in those outfits.. oh yaaaaa....(turns up his pacemaker to full power as he enters the cold shower http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

I wonder what she would say if she knew she had a fan club here for the Last 2 yrs... Hmm, I wonder if Tim and Richard have any revealing SE4 or SE5 outfits they could have her model http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
