chimeras

austin showed me the new setting for d&d in the works, eberron. it looks cool. especially the war-forged. but it also looks kinda lame, in the, created for powergaming newbs sort of way. i think it was made with the people who buy characters in mmorpgs in mind. that's how i put it to austin, anyways. interestingly, austin started off with the art gallery. i guess that makes sense for getting a feel for a new setting. i should put a link up here, but screw you. anyways, really cool graphics *cough*war-forged*cough* - especially the house crests. the one for deneith, i think, had a chimera. cool. also cool was the mailed fist holding the lightning-ish double ended blade thing.

but seriously, what's up with the chimera? made somewhat heard of mainstream by MI:2, the code name for a three-pronged virus. creature of evil, sure. a mythical beast with three heads (evil heads), and a snake's tail (not sure about the tail, actually). that's cool. i can dig it. what creatures should i, an evil sorceror with the power and the evil capable of creating this beast, fuse together? a dragon? definitely. a lion? yeah, lions are fierce. i'm still following. and lastly, a goat. a goat?? i still don't get it. still. i said as much to austin. hell, this isn't very funny. i'm just going to paste the aim conversation here. bitches.

ericthehodgeheG: i call deneith with the chimera
The Lexicologist: it's pretty good
ericthehodgeheG: what was that stupid crazy mage thinking when he used a fucking goat
The Lexicologist: heh
ericthehodgeheG: look, the other two are roaring
The Lexicologist: goats are my favorite
ericthehodgeheG: what the fuck is the goat doing
The Lexicologist: goats are badass
The Lexicologist: he doesn't need to roar
ericthehodgeheG: it does have red eyes
The Lexicologist: because he's so kickass
ericthehodgeheG: but really, when building the ultimate composite monster
ericthehodgeheG: what does a goat contribute
The Lexicologist: HORNS!
The Lexicologist: BLEATING!
The Lexicologist: NIMBLE HOOVES!

and here's the link to the gallery, i guess. i'm just a big softee. eberron art gallery
