Within the last couple years my gaming group decided to give Hero Forge a try with the PCs in the current campaign. I never got pictures of them but I won’t mince words, they were disappointing because we chose the cheaper material(s). They were still “dusty,” Matthew’s PC’s weapon broke off and Somara’s samurai had her sword in an odd spot on her back. These were $20 apiece.
I still loved the idea of making a closer representation of our PCs/NPCs so I turned in six designs to be made with the more expensive plastic. This made them cost $30 apiece. It was absolutely worth it. Here they are…
Above is a helpful NPC. Giacomo Napolitano. Proprietor of Il Gatto Scontroso. Here the heroes have stayed, eaten and recuperated during their time in the grand city of Korvosa. Giacomo isn’t drunk, he was clearing off a table that had an empty stein.
This is my RoleMaster PC from college. Fyoder Peacock. He was a skilled swordsman from one of the human kingdoms in Middle Earth and in RM he was a Rogue which is the game’s hybrid of Fighter and Thief. I only have rough notes on what to convert him to in Pathfinder. Either a Fighter/Rogue working toward the prestige class Deulist due to his two-weapon fighting combo or Swashbuckler. He’ll just be an older, helpful NPC who trains others the way of the sword. Fyoder is a friend/ally/professional rival to Vincenzo Orsini, the great fencing teacher of Korvosa.
The knight-like badass above is the last PC I really got to play in Mark B’s campaign years ago…Impavidus Goldfrapp, a martial cleric of Heironeous, hence the sword and armor. Mark B told me my PC lives on as an NPC in his campaign. I am starting to regret the oddly sized shoulder pads which make Impavidus look too Warhammeresque. The mini and the PC shares Fyoder’s fate as an NPC in my campaign, just not as old. His deity in Pathfinder isn’t too much of a switch either, Iomedae is pretty close to Heironeous in their portfolios and followers.
The other three minis I’m saving for another entry.
