Dangers Dumbies RPG

"Dangers & Dumbies - the only and original RPG system you would ever want to use!"

My RRRR draw gave me the following:
231: HFS Races Elves (I don’t know if Rendo’s links are allowed here, so I’ll refrain from posting them)
57: Ranger for Genesis (the set from DarioFish, not from DAZ!)
267: www.daz3d.com/sylvanna-for-gen…
40: www.daz3d.com/summer-character… (I think I used the hairstyle on the spellweaver, but I made the morph myself as usual by mixing dials from HFS Races Elves and other morph kits - Thorne's, perhaps...)

This one was a pain. It took me several hours to prepare it. Trust me, rendering was the quickest part, even though I used three figures - Gen2M (the bard and the green guy minifigure), Gen2F (the rogue and her minifigure) and Genesis (all the rest)! When I saw HFS Races Elves, I knew I wanted to make something fantasy-influenced. It looks like RRRR is good for trying out different settings: my first work was toony, the second - semi-historical. Now it makes sense to have fantasy. Or rather a contemporary mess on a student's desk occupied by a fantasy bunch of dumbies (the PCs) who experience various dangers (the GM, among many).

I started with a collection of character cards for RPG purposes (I plan to use them in the unforseeable future by the way). The statistics you see written on each card are a mix between Dungeons & Dragons and my favourite RPG system, Drakensang/The Dark Eye. Why did I also include D&D? Well, the point is, TDE doesn't support dark elves. And I HAD to use the characters by DarioFish - they are fabulous! That's why there are more elves than humans. And a single dwarf, who was made with DarioFish's pack as well and refuses to stick with the typical rules, demanding to be a swashbuckler instead. Oh my, Kangrosha, why are you doing this to me?!

On another hand, D&D doesn't support those fabulous TDE professions such as metamages and spellweavers. They haven't heard about geodes either. Thus there is a mix. Anyway, thanks to all stock providers whose works I used to add the finishing touches - I wouldn't have finished the project if it hadn't been for your support. The credits for the resources used to round up the cards:
All spell effects by FrostBo
Skull by zememz 
Rock by Cheyenne75 (she retired from DA, but she's in our hearts nonetheless)

Grid was created using a free product from Occult Moon: rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product…. How? I looked at the PDF, then tried to copy the grid on my project. I imported it into PowerPoint and then started to fiddle with all 3D effects. Getting it all to work was a challenge. I could have prepared the cards and then use them as textures on some primitives, but I wanted to master that tab.

Another challenge was to get the image look like a left in a rush roleplayer's desk. The miniatures tend to be garish in colour. I always use UberEnvironment lights, which tend to give the opposite results. I prefer natural colours, so I had to change my way of thinking to get into the mood - you know, bright paint, plastic trees and Chinese stands . I had to postwork all elements that were turned into miniatures. The stands, for instance, were provided courtesy of ePIC Generator. The plants are heavily-edited stock renders (mainly of Lisa's Botanicals) from Zememz, Jumpfer-Stock, MaureenOlder, Free-Stock-By-Wayne and Cheyenne75. The rock by shadowdancer sits on is a stock from Cheyenne75, but sadly, you cannot get it anymore as she retired from DA. Her stocks can still be used, so I did.
All spell effects were created as stocks by FrostBo. The skull used in the barbarian card is a stock I got from Zememz too. I think it went okay. The box is also garish in colour and design - I have seen numerous RPG accessories and they all look like that.

The dice were especially difficult to get (polyhedral dice???), but I stumbled upon a set by Magenta-Stock (fav.me/d62ifnq). Others I used (2bgr8stock.deviantart.com/art/…, 2bgr8stock.deviantart.com/art/… and 2bgr8stock.deviantart.com/art/… come from 2BGR8Stock (2bgr8stock.deviantart.com). The only normal ones are from Microsoft cliparts collection I have the licence for.

The cards are here: sta.sh/01nu3lx8i5sa. Feel free to check them out too. There are thirteen character archetypes from the following professions:
- barbarian
- bard
- druid
- fighter
- metamage
- monk
- paladin
- ranger
- rogue
- shadowdancer
- sorceress
- spellweaver
- swashbuckler

Okay, that was long. If you're still reading it, a bow to you! Sit down and drool at the males, envy them, do whatever you wish. Feci, quod potui - faciant meliora potentes!

Thanks to all stock providers!
