Some characters; not Dark Fantasy X or D&D

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Or... Fafnir and the Black Rat. Two versions.

Ill-Met in Lankhmar

Fafhrd

The Gray Mouser

These last two are loosely based on this artwork, by an artwork team that's well known for being Robert E. Howard illustrators. I kind of like the second Fafhrd better, and the first Gray Mouser better.

Two Sought Adventure

From the historical fiction genre, here's Wilfred of Ivanhoe, and his main rival, Brian de Bois-Gilbert. Without their helmets, because I want to show their faces. I dressed them very similarly, to represent their common cultural heritage and place in time.

As a completely different aside; I've been waiting on doing some Dark Fantasy X updates to the document. Mostly minor stuff. Actually, mostly just a final re-read and edit based on the last batch of changes I made, because I suspect that there's some other stuff that probably got missed. 

However, I'm considering making a few more changes. One of them, if I decide to make it, would appear to be significant, but I actually don't believe that it will. I'm considering expanding the three stats of m20 into the six stats of classic D&D. I actually don't think that shrinking them makes the game significantly lighter, and having the traditional stats, with a traditional range has some benefits. But either way, I'm not convinced that it's a big deal either way, so I haven't decided what to do with it yet.
