happy friday everyone

It looks like three games just finished over the last few days. Things are going to be low key for a week or so.

When I get off of work today, I'll be scraping together Arkham Horror from the deep recesses of my mind. I'll take signups until the game opens, so if anyone is still needing a game, just let me know and you too can be a Deep One!

No, I think it's a combination of 'artists can draw big, or draw little, but 'medium' is hard to be consistent with' and 'well, draw the underage girls small and the adult girls big, so we can tell them apart better.'

Witness what happened to Jubilee when she turned 18 in the comics. Or when Donna Troy 'grew up'. Or in reverse, what happened when they needed to have Starfire be a teenager on TV.

Right back at ya, buddy.

I never really analyzed it before, but looking back I don't remember medium being a problem in Exiles. Some artists try and sell the sex, while others try and sell the story.

Scraping together the roles for RotJ, this game is going to be a lot of fun. At least from my PoV. It's going to be tough to not start early.

True, I'm generalizing; some artists can handle 'medium' very well. But like much of art, it's a skill; some of them just don't have it.

Though he's my favorite artist, I don't think Jim Lee has a good grasp of medium. pun intended

Anyone doing fantasy baseball this year?

Know what's funny and sad? Getting 10 actions for a mafia game that only has 8 players remaining... and STILL not getting all of the active player's actions.

That hasn't happened, but if it did, it would both be funny and sad.

Look at what he had to do to Betsy Braddock. A modestly proportioned woman in somewhat dowdy clothes was *way* beyond his abilities. So *bang*. Now she's a ninja with enormous anti-gravity breasts capering about in a G-string (which, I realize, isn't a drawing that Lee did, but he was the one who created Psylocke as a cheesecake character).

Thank you. I miss Psylocke in her armor. One of the worst character redesigns ever.

It all comes down to one theory, The Male Gaze.
Media, comic books in this case, are made with a male reader in mind, despite who the actual reader is.

This basicly leads to other theories, but the point is, women are in most cases treated like objecs and not people, example:

Do we really need a shot of WW butt there, among other things?

I am. are we doing a league for the realms this year?
