It aims to assist new GM\u2019s by examining what worked, didn\u2019t work, and what failed miserably as he spins up new campaigns, modules, encounters, and adventures for his friends and family in Fantasy Flight Games\u2019 Edge of the Empire\/Age of Rebellion\/Force and Destiny system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This column today is going to be a unique one, but one that I can&#8217;t resist writing.\u00a0 This isn&#8217;t going to be about the Star Wars RPG and its mechanics, or how to run a part of the game, use the dice, or spin up a specialization.\u00a0 This is to promote and discuss the amazing work of someone who deserves it.\u00a0 And if you would love to see your character come to life before your eyes, like the image you had in your mind, keep reading, because I found someone who can do just that.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks back, an acquaintance of mine posted an image of a character&#8230; his character&#8230; online.\u00a0 He mentioned that he had commissioned an artist who, upon receiving a description of his character, drew that character.\u00a0 The work was so fantastic I reached out to the artist to find out how, as an early Christmas gift, I could have her draw pictures of all the characters in my primary Star Wars Age of Rebellion campaign for my players.<\/p>\n<p>Her name is <span class=\"_50f4\">R\u00f3zsa <\/span><span class=\"_50f4\">Vivien, or known as the artist Miss Rose.\u00a0 I will let Miss Rose herself describe who she is and why she does what she does:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"_4bl9\">\n<div class=\"_3-8w\">\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"id_59ecd2e642ee35020936842\" class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\"><em>My name is Rose, I&#8217;m student at the University of Fine Arts in Hungary. Drawing was always the most important thing in my life, and this is my firs<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">t try to make a living from it. I will draw digital character line arts for people at first, but my goal is to learn digital painting. I&#8217;m trying to learn it on my own, because there are no options here to learn digital painting except for a private school, which is really expensive. This is my ultimate goal here to raise money for this school, and there are no words that can express how thankful I am for helping me to achieve this. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not only is Miss Rose amazing at what she does but she also has goals, and any business she gets has her one step closer to her dreams.\u00a0 Also, she is very affordable.\u00a0 Commissioning artists can be a quite pricey endeavor.\u00a0 She negotiates her prices, but I can tell you, for the amount of money you&#8217;d spend for one trip to the movies, you can have a permanent image of your favorite RPG characters.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>So, if you look below, I&#8217;ll describe each of my players&#8217; characters, and show you the incredible, amazing work that she did&#8230; hopefully inspiring you to reach out and have her bring your game to life.\u00a0 For each of these characters, I sent her the image from the internet each person was using as a &#8220;close enough&#8221; representation.\u00a0 I sent her the images of their guns, equipment, lightsabers, hilts, armor, and in one case, their ship.\u00a0 She combined all of the information I gave her into some amazing work, and I got to see our characters live for the first time.\u00a0 Not only that, but she did\u00a0all of these in one week&#8217;s time.\u00a0 So take a look below!\u00a0 Meet Viper Squad&#8230; a Rebellion SpecForce unit that has climbed the ranks and now takes on some of the deadliest missions in the Galactic Civil War.\u00a0 Click on any to see a

(Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! Just outside Kansas City for those who don't know.) Scott is a veteran of several role playing, table top miniatures, video, and board games, starting with the Atari 2600 when he was 6, and the classic red box Dungeons and Dragons game when he was 12. After a long hiatus away from the hobby, Scott has recently picked up gaming once again, and is running two different campaigns in Fantasy Flight Games' Edge of the Empire\/Age of Rebellion\/Force and Destiny lines. He is an avid X-Wing miniatures player, as well as Armada, Imperial Assault, Space Hulk, and Rebellion. (His family is obviously a Star Wars family, right?) Scott is married to his high school sweetheart, and has 2 children in middle school, both Black Belts in Krav Maga martial arts.","url":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/author\/scotter23\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11759"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11821,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11759\/revisions\/11821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
