nonvisual medium; don't give a frick to recite a paragraph of what hot topic bullshit they have on unless it will be mechanically relevant
>hot topic
totally unrelated but I went to hot topic for the first time in years with my wife and all the band shirts got replaced with video game, anime, and nickelodeon shit.
Kids don't listen to bands, they listen to clips.
Recently heard a sixteen year-old wax pretentious about himself because he listens to whole albums. He was really proud of it, his iron focus to be able to pay attention to music more often than not for less than an hour.
We should spin down civilization and give the land back to the wildlife.
My character might care, but I don't.
>he can't see what's going on during a session
We had a guy like that, weird israeli guy, literally couldn't form images in his head.
I wonder if that's common, they're generally known for having good verbal and math skills but not having quite as many engineers and sculptors.
I'm sure some my characters care about being fashionable, but it's not something that's relevant to gameplay.
Do you have a baldric and scabbard for that sword?
Not that much, I like to describe It in a simple way because It really does not matter to the table dynamic.
Are noses not fashionable?
Michael Jackson was ahead of his time.
He was a trans-githyanki.
>care very deeply about my characters' fashion choices in video games and RPGs
>don't care about fashion in the real world and can barely dress myself to begin with
It's a strange kind of feel.
Substitution. You feel like fashion matters in videogames and can't dress however you like IRL.
0% of any shit given. He's a Grug, son of Grag of the Tall Rock tribe. He wears clothing as the weather dictates and cares only for the utility of it.
Only women, queers, and metrosexuals care about fashion. You're asking the wrong site.
What the hell else am I going to spend my treasure on and show the commoners and nobles alike that I'm a man who can gain treasure?
I keep to practical minimalism.
hol up
this was part of a larger image, wasn't it?
Very.
Although what fashionable means varies from character to character.
My current guy is a knight priest of a goddess of valor, protection, and the fight against evil, so being fashionable for him means wearing his armor and carrying his sword everywhere, and adorning his armor with lots of cloth in the colors that represent his deity, also holy symbols and crests galore, including his shield that has a big ass stylized crown emblazoned in it.
I do not condone fashionshitting at my table.
More than I'd like to admit.
I'm in a Rogue Trader crew, half of my job is dressing up so nice as to flex on everyone else
One of the last PCs I played was an Estalian Diestro. He cared VERY much about being fashionable. Also about things like bathing and having cologne and regular professional barbering. Considering he was also quick to spend his money on small gifts or food/drink for others, he was serially broke despite looking well-off.
Depends. Does the DM use rules that give bonuses to npc reactions, henchmen morale, loyalty and bravery if I spend money on good clothes that are appropate for my gender, nationality and social class, or tabards, helmet decorations and banners? If so, yes, if not, no.
When I paint the miniature, and if clothes have a mechanic in game are the only times.
Deadlands Lost Colony had some mechanics based around clothing so I used starting funds to get some.
In terms of in-character fashionable, my PCs largely veer on the side of function over fashion.
In terms of what I as a player do, I like making character designs so I can make more concrete art of characters, so I tend to focus on what they wear a lot. I try to get as close to visually distinct, realistic enough for the setting/temperature of the campaign, and functionally sound. Sometimes it works out, sometimes my DM decides the campaign's climate is tropical instead of temperate halfway through.
My current Fantasy Craft character cares a lot, it's easier to con idiots if they think you're attractive after all
Depends on the PC
>always have my character dress appropriately for the given situation
>spend in game money for it
>describe my character's clothes in any major scene change
>at best get a +2 out of it
I do...
Frick is that?
Is it a piss-drinking them/they?
he probably isn't but he works for them or the people that caused them.
10/10 in Bongland (male)
keep your fetish shit to yourself rotbrain
Insofar as I pretty much play exclusively clotheshorse noblewomen bawds whenever possible, my PCs carr about being fashionable a lot, anon.
What porno is this from? I want to see those breasts out.
Not a porno, it's from the excellent Sharpe's series. Only one woman gets nips out and it's not her.
I do put some thought into describing it just for the atmosphere.
As many RPGers are obese, smelly, hambeasts with poor social and fashion skills, RPGs are a way for many RPGers to play an imaginary idiolised version of themselves. So yes, some do care about it.
>fashion
The only time it ever fricking popped up as a matter of any importance was when I was playing a PBP as people working for a haute couture company.
And I'm in this hobby since '97. Were you even born back then, OP?
I care enough for the fashion on my characters so that they look distinct but not over the top. I make sure to get a set of spare clothing in the inventory even if it doesn't affect the game in any way. It is something a nirmal person would have in possesion, so I guess it's logical my PC follows the basic hygiene rules and changes clothes between dungeon-dwelling sessions.
Also where to read chapter 86 of OP's picrel? All the websites I checked had a fricked up version with missing pages.
I’m the GM, it’s a thing with me to make the enchanted items as ridiculous and garish looking as I can to see just how far players are willing to make their characters look like fools to get a stat boost or buff.
Will they don the tin hat to make them immune to divination? Will they wear the banana-yellow boots for a +5’ movement bonus? What will it take to get them to put on the giant chicken costume? Etc…
Depends on the PC. One is obsessed with style, posturing, and presence, another is a literal hobo who never leaves his armor and drapes himself in trappings of Death because he's an edgy lil shit
I mean armor made of bone is fashionable in his own culture. And a b***hin' tiger cape is fashionable everywhere.
Big facts, tiger cape goes hard
The artist also showed me this really cool idea for a Manticore mantle.
Sorry I just realized I never got permission to share that.
Damn, nice!
It depends on the character. One of my characters, an exceptionally class-conscious sorceress from an extremely wealthy family of commoner tradesmen (and thus incredibly insecure about her status), has a detailed list of all the israeliteelry she wears at all times, has dozens of courtier outfits, and the very first spell she researched keeps her warm and dry while constantly repairing any rips and tears to her outfit. She carries minimal equipment (that's for henchmen), but her gear bag contains perfume and a toiletry kit.
On the other end, my gold-obsessed freebooter who is always and only ever thinking about the next delve has a wool tunic and some pants which are well stained by blood, ichor, and probably food since he's a slob (dungeons don't care if you clean your fingernails). He bathes and washes his clothes once a week in a river along the trail to the dungeon, on the way back.
They make sure to wear their kingdom's heraldry in a visible way no matter what armor they've scavenged off the battlefield.
I like it, because it does a good job of setting the scene and getting players into the correct mindset. If they go to some formal place, I want them to describe what they wear because it will inform how people will react to them, and because it will prime them to act according to how they describe themselves.
