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

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.

Day 2

Another day comes to an end, but a bLast was had by all. And to top it off Mac brought Annette candle's. The new rule, if you visit Shrapnel's booth you must bring gifts for Annette. Just blame Mac http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . <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

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

[Gandalf Parker]

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

[Kamog]

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

[David E. Gervais]

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.)

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

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

[Kamog]

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.

<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.

[mac5732]

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
