"mine is gandalf becuase he is my favourite character."

What Rich said. Gandalf is also my favorite character, though, I also love hobbits and dwarves, so I have vacilated between Bilbo, Gloin (core set) and Gandalf (core set). I pretty much consider all of the art in this game to be outstanding!

I had a bear, but they took it off in the latest forum changes. I am hoping that they add the art for the Beorn hero card, so that I can have that correct avatar. In the mean time, this guy looks about right.

There. I've done it....

Beware the unquenchable wrath of Sauron's most heinous abomination: The Gundabad Tainted-Penguin.

There once was a perfectly dreadful movie of that name, but I had disliked the idea even before then. And I have avoided using one here, especially since no self-created profile pictures are allowed (seemingly), until now when I realized that the anonymous white shade of a figure has little meaning when it is about the only one out there.

To celebrate this famous decision of mine, I want to ask you what made you to choose the avatar you did? Is it solely the art, is it the favourite character from the books, did you want something to look like you, or just something funny?

I myself, I asked my girlfriend to choose for me.

Wait, your gilfriend picked that paedo pic?

I chose mine because it's unique and Goooondoooooooooooooooor.

Well, haven't you noticed Hobbits were about half the size of wizards?

My Avatar is a powerful Dark Elf from the Anima setting. I used him as a villain in the first Anima campaign I ran.

My avatar is actually a perfect likeness of me. I was really Impressed when I signed up and FF already had my pic ready so I didn't change anything

Mine is the Gandalf image from the card "Foe-Hammer." I really like Magali's art and especially on this card. Gandalf is in the Goblin Town with his glowing sword, Glamdring, the Elven sword forged for Turgon, the King of Gondolin during the First Age. I also really like this card in the game. A powerful card draw ability for the cost of zero? Amazing. Definitely a much needed boost for tactics. Anyways, I guess all those are reasons I like this picture for my avatar.

And as an aside, I really wish Peter Jackson had made Gandalf's (and Thorin's) sword glow blue in this scene in the Hobbit (part 1). He did it for Bilbo's Sting, why couldn't he do the same for Gandalf? It is such an iconic scene in the book and could have been simple to just make it glow blue....oh well (I still really enjoyed the movie, btw!).

Jackson forgot to make Glamdring glow in the LOTR movies (some say he didn't do it to avoid similarities to the star wars prequels that were being make around that time) so it would have been weird to make them glow in the Hobbit and not in LOTR.

My original avatar was Loqtza, a Lizardmen hero in the Warhammer Invasion card game. It was the box art for March of the Damned, half of which depicts this guy, that actually got me into LCGs in the first place. The secondary reason I chose this guy was because he was the closest thing to Jabba the Hutt, and I always think it hilarious to have a Jabba avatar (my bgg account has such a thing).

This current thing is The Red-Gloved Man, from Call of Cthulhu LCG. I just like this guy, there's a kind of sexy stealthiness and noir feeling to him, somehow. Or maybe I just need to get out more...

despite not playing the game i do enjoy reading lovecraft....though ironically i think his greatest creations were in the shorter stories

Lovecraft can be quite wonderful, yes! I think it's the rest of the mythos that often proves to be a let-down, though some of his longer stories can get a little over-padded at times...

I guess that makes sense, to keep it consistent across the trilogies. I can see how it would look like a light saber all the time when Gandalf fights against orcs, which I think might have come out a bit cheesy, so maybe it was a good choice after all to leave them normal blades.
