Title: Role Playing and Rendering
Post by: MilosGulan on January 30, 2018, 06:54:08 AM
Ok, I will try recreate things as they happened :) please forgive my spelling mistake as I can't speak English perfectly.

We started playing Add 1e after summer 1994. There was some playing in the summer but I was not there and there was GM who was from Belgrade and after that we continued...

My first character was Illusionist Gorgar, who like the rest of the group reached level 5. Beside him there was female ranger (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=33478#top_display_media) (click on the link for picture), thief and cleric though that character I don't remember that good. Adventure was in small seaside town where we were hired by local duke to find some dog (mastiff) who was stolen because he was champion of local dog fights. We searched trough town and I vividly remember scene where I have met guards (probably on balcony, or on some alley), and used change shape spell to make myself look like a guard (or something similar) and just talked withem saying that they should go other way.

At the end of our search we have found ship of local pirates led by a female captain. We tried to infiltrate the ship (probably me with shape change) but eventualy we were discovered and needed to fight on the dock. I remember ranger shooting arrows and finaly I was captured and taken to captain where I was charmed by her ring and evetualy they have let me go with small boat while they sailed away from the town, probably with a dog. So we made it back with mastiff and returned it to duke, though originaly adventure states anyone captured probably will become slave of the pirates.

That was our first adventure, after that we have lost our ranger :) but continued to play. Maybe there was another adventure but I don't remember though I have tried... What I remember is that our GM started playing with us for some time, we got new cleric instead of that player who replaced temporarely our GM.

Then we started playing again and there was a problem with dividing of gold, and session finished when our GM (who played assassin) went to other town with gold (maybe with our thief or alone). Anyway our characters have parted thus ending adventure.

Now that was not good as we couldn't play anymore together, so we decided that our old GM start GM-ing again and to play as nothing bad happened (that part when we couldn't agree what to do with treasure)...

Ok I better post this and will continue, also will need to edit it a bit...

Next adventure was Tomb it May concern (all these adventures were from dungeon 22 and 23 only things that we have got from Belgrade back then), story was about Paladin geting a warhorse, but could be adapted for party level 2 and that is what our GM did. We have met some skeletons and zombies in underground tomb complex and at the end juju zobie of some wizard who was tough but we got him eventualy. I got the prize and it was a medalion with a war horse that could be summoned. Not very usable for illusionist but still better with it.

Next one was Dark forest. Story was about Myconids (mushroom people) who lived underground and were fighting flinds. We met them, talked and helped them fought the battle against flinds and won after tough fight. Nice adventure they had some trance that we were part of and that is how we communicated.

Finaly Deception Pass, and it was for a bit higher levels then we were (Level 7-9), so probably we leveled up because of it and started. We were 5th level by that time...

We reached some canyon and it was fortified but abandoned... Eventualy we explored and find cave or some underground complex and started to explore more until we have found big hall full of ogre magis and small white dragon inside (I think it was white, but after looking at adventure it was bronze). We have entered on front door and have met dragon face to face who just used his breath weapon and that is how our tale ended. But all in all it was great experience for me, and GM was really good. Later I tried to GM and now have to rethink and tried to remember what happened. I have old characters and will need to take picture of them.

Cool...I like the female Ranger.

I'm not into gaming with folks.  When I play my games I like the fact that I won because of me and I lost because of me LOLOL....

But my Grandson, Nephew in Newport and Niece here in Monroe all like those type of games and play with folks from all over the world.  Travis likes his War games, my Nephew (who designs game figures) plays Sci Fi Games and My Niece is into the Fantasy games.

Yes, I am starting to think like that but it can be nice maybe sometimes chaotic a bit.

But that sounds great. I will post here more. For now I have took pictures of half of characters that are left and that is probably one third or almost half of characters that my group have ever played. I have lost 2nd half, those were mostly more experienced characters but I will try to recreate things as much as I can.

Now I am a bit busy, but will try to do this and after that maybe to edit so that I can have as much complete journal of the things that happened :)

I have finaly remembered 2 more adventures that we played and edited post 2. Also I have remembered that our GM went to study in Belgrade after the summer 95 and we need to replace him. Mostly I did the work and some of my friends. I finaly remembered my 2nd character ranger, it was session at my home we had 2 parties and 2 GMs. I only remember that we have fought some giant bees. Now that is a period I will have to talk more, I still have one more character from that time, Wizard evoker, but I don't remember anything more.

What I have done is I have sorted all characters, but I will have to do it better, and to remember what they have played together. I think there is 3-4 main groups and probably more then 50 characters total. Will have to work on that, but will be interesting to recreate most important events if I can remember them  :java:

Ok here is new picture, I will have write more about my plans...
Evil Captainhttp://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=37143 (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=37143)
...About her:She originaly appeared in adventure Old Sea-Dog from Dungeon Magazine No.23. She was Captain of the Ship Gales' Teeth (Al:Neutral, Thief Lv9) and totaly distrusting person as she spent too much time with buccaneers. I got her look good comparing the picture from module, and I think I might call Her Iantea Payback. It seems she is not really evil but neautral :)...

Awesome job on that one Milos....well done....
Title: Re: Ad&d Memories
Post by: MilosGulan on June 22, 2019, 02:24:54 AM
Thank You! I have updated my previous post with more info about the captain :)
...
I was doiong that picture at the same time while trying to grab Rawart products while they were 65% off  :ifonly: and I got
...https://www.daz3d.com/ape-world-2-bundle which was my wish for long time (mainly because I have Gorilla for Genesis but not good texture and LAMH preset, and also because it has LAMH presets for G2m figures too)...and https://www.daz3d.com/drakon (Beacuse I need Lizardmen and this one is good enough and maybe better then his M4/V4 versions which are divided in 2 products with texture expansion)
Anyway after that I tried Darwin the toon chimp, but as it goes my computer crashed 2 times because it seems LAMH and new DS is a bit too much for my old computer and my RAM is not enough. But I am hoping I will be able to use it last time it crashed while I tried to render and before it crashed during the scene creation :)
Anyway I will have to do it again and just for note I love Rawart's products, they are simply amazing ...

Yup....Rawarts stuff is pretty cool....

Post by: MilosGulan on July 02, 2019, 10:14:10 AM
Yes only thing that is not good is that there is no separate head and body morphs :) but anyway I got teeth morphs for G1 by Zev0 and also Aiko 7 and Kenji 7, bad about G7 figures for now is that they are newer and I am not sure I will be able to use pw Toon shaders on them as I do on those older figures, that is for now, they look great though, I am happy I got them :)

Ok here is new picture I think that is good. I am trying to make some neutral looking people, but that slicer outfit which I like a lot gives them a bit more edge, and bandit texture so I guess they might be some rogues, we will see. Backdrop is by Ute, good enough but I hope I will try to make something better :)

Thank You, I am trying to make my render plan for this summer or at least for first half of july :). It seems I am a bit divided between old Ad&d memories and new things I want to do :) anyway hope I will do something and that it will be good  :ifonly:
Title: Re: Ad&d Memories
Post by: MilosGulan on July 22, 2019, 04:02:38 AM
I probably should change the name of this topic to something like Role Playing :)
Anyway I was busy lately with sorting of Summoners products I have... And they are really fantastic, I will need to comment on them both on FRM and his main site... Anyway here are my newest 2 pictures, at my place is really crowdy now and I am busy, all is going I guess good, though it could be better and both my Mom especialy and dad and I too are tired and have trouble with staying up :)
This first picture is about wizard of high level and his tower. Now inspiration came from Catlord found here, though I can't say I know much about it but I will try exploring and expanding that scene... http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=37350 (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=37350)
Just for reference here is more about catlord
https://ghwiki.greyparticle.com/index.php/Cat_Lord (https://ghwiki.greyparticle.com/index.php/Cat_Lord)
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Cat_lord (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Cat_lord)

Second, with unfinished credits, mainly try to explore summoner Path of Gods product, been playing with Green knight Supersuit for Genesis, Valkire Helmet by Summoner and tried to make V5 Morh Mikaela work, which is favorite of mine for some time, but I am not sure I did very good or at least I want it to look better. Black V4 Diana Troi looks good with helmet but I guess. I am hoping to continue to work on that character and with supersuit http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=37394 (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=37394)

Interesting I know of the CatLord, from my D&D collection.

The Greyhawk books with Gord the Rogue in it and the modules.

Nice

Also I am missing online playing thinking to start again after I finish all things with university. :woohoo: Here is that picture, I may open separate thread just to keep track of the story if it is ok  :java: and maybe later actualy make something like comic from it  :woohoo:

Starting to do things more seriously I am hoping... Here is thread about what I am doing and will repost the same here, maybe adding some more..
Here is second picture, I did today. I have made Wizard Castle 2 (https://www.daz3d.com/the-wizard-castle-ii) work on new computer in 3Delight, though strangely shadow doesn't work on Versatile Terrain (https://www.daz3d.com/versatile-terrain) as it worked on the same terrain but on previous set with Fantasy Castle (http://www.sharecg.com/v/71904/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/Fantasy-Castle) which is my fav 3d model. I also have problem with pw Toon shaders working on new computer, I have reinstalled DS 4.7 and it should work but I don't know why it does not... On this picture You can see one cleric figure done with 3 Delight all others are done with shadow catcher and pw Toon on my old computer and I really miss that style. I am not sure what to do to make them work.
I have made some improvement, that is mainly that I work with DS on my new lap top, yet I really would like to be able to work with pw Toons too. Right now I am installing and deinstalling DS 4.7 and DS 4.14 as needed, it would be cool if I could work with both versions on the same computer... Here is picture that I have made, probably have saved it in a bit low quality, I will need to take care about it nect time. I hope I will make some real pics soon that I should be able to sign :)Here is the picture finaly ...
