Description
Cessi Baran (EotE version)(Star Wars Edge of the Empire - twi'lek, f, smuggler [pilot/scoundrel])
2015
This is my character for a Star Wars Edge of the Empire campaign. She is yellow-skinned with orange-red thorny tattoos that converge into a solid color as they reach the tips of her abnormally long lekku. Cessi (Cessiba'ran) is the captain of the Empty Sky, a Corellian YT-1930 light freighter, and an ex-con recently released from Imperial prison. Playing a YT-1930 captain is fun since I'm the guy that actually invented the ship (uncredited... It's a long story... Which you can read by clicking on the deck plans, below!)
This is actually a recreation of an older D6 system character. I was going to post to art from that character sheet as well, but I seem to have misplaced it. Sneaky smugglers.
UPDATE: I found her D6 sheet! Also, here's my "officially unofficial" deck plans for the YT-1930.

I've got good and bad memories of the D6 system. I wouldn't go back to it necessarily, but good times. One of the few games I had as a kid where I got to be a player rather than a game master. Unfortunately, my experience with Edge of Empire is far less salubrious. I still don't understand the rules, and the one time I went to it at a game convention the guy running it was A) incompetent and B) an idiot.
In regards to the art itself, it's really great. Can't help but notice even your non-Ravenloft characters don't smile too much.

Unless they have a personality that calls for it, there's no reason to make someone smiling in a PC portrait. Most people don't smile all the time and these are supposed to be somewhat candid shots, rather than a posed-for-the-camera sort of thing.

Huh. Hadn't thought about it that way. It makes total sense. You are right, in that the picture does look more candid that way. People tell me I smile a lot, but I'll be the first to admit I'm often laughing at some joke in my own head.

If I draw a character smiling, there's generally a reason for it. For instance, the portrait I did of my character for the Shattered Star campaign (Lucre Lightstep) was something of a happy-go-lucky prankster type (he was a cat that could turn into a halfling), so I drew him with a mischievous smile. Otherwise, most of my portraits have a more neutral expression. When I did Ravenloft portraits, I usually made them either scowling or actively frowning, because, they live in Ravenloft and Ravenloft characters are tragic, miserable people surrounded by horror. If you're smiling in Ravenloft, you're likely insane.

I'm not sure. Five or six, I guess. Enough to get through one of the modules. The GM is a college professor, so the game is only on while classes are out. It'll end in the fall. I'm usually the guy running Star Wars games, so it's fun to get to play one for a change.

How are you getting on with the dice and their implications in gameplay? My regular group has some issues with them. I kinda liked the bit of gaming I did with the system, it was refreshing, even if complicated.
Nice pic by the way.

We figured them out pretty quickly. The only issue we have is remembering their actual names. We keep saying stuff like, "I have three successes, two happy dice and a bad thing."

Such things happen... In my game group it's mostly mispronounced English (which is annoying, they all have higher education... ...and they call themselves librarians for crying out loud...). But sometimes it's just fun. Our Pendragon group has reduced falconry to bird throwing (which in case of some characters is really all we do at our skill level).

That's basically how we do it as well. "Roll a green and a yellow, plus two purples!" Never did finish the campaign with the regular group because I had to move, but the campaign I ran for my son ended awesomely, with appearances of NPCs who were PCs from an old D6 campaign.
