Rip It & Run! Character Images...

Character generation is a complex process which, if done properly, will serve the story well in the long term. Characters spring from many different sources: from history, from film and television, from books. Some just emerge from the particular genre of the game. In my experience, characters can come from images as well.

At the bookshop where I work, I discovered the following photographic illustrations and copied them to share here at the Debating Club. They all date from the late 20s into the 3os, so they’re just right for use as character shots. What’s not to like about this daring fellow:

I managed to collar the following shots together as well. If you like them and they suit your character, or perhaps one of the NPCs in your game, feel free to use them.





And for those who are interested, these images come from period knitting patterns and originally looked like this:



It just proves that gaming inspiration is all around us!
