At long last, I've finally gotten gmax to work properly on my laptop again. Of course, my trusty 16 year old version of Photoshop stopped working for me at all a few days ago, so today I downloaded and started learning to use GIMP.
What does this mean for anyone else? It means I was inspired to make something for this month. '> (And don't worry, I'm making time to get Feb. and Mar. content packaged up sometime in the next few days).
Flail of Ages
"This flail has been in the care of Lord Arnise for some time, a relic of his adventuring youth. It has been kept disassembled, the individual pieces stored in separate locations, and only used in the direst of emergencies. Lord Arnise was likely concerned about the powerful magic that the weapon radiated when compiled, and rightfully so. A trail of destruction has followed it through history, leading straight back to the original owners.
The flail was the creation of the warlike Rakshasa, a race of vengeful spirits that crave human meat, and used as an adaptable weapon that could suit any battle. During a particularly violent hunt the flail was lost, only to be returned when they used their affinity for magic to locate its powerful aura. They discovered that the weapon had found its way into the hands of a great human warrior, and the battle that followed was truly splendid. They have since used the item as bait countless times, 'losing' it again and again. Powerful items gravitate towards powerful people, and powerful people yield the most glorious battles."
Four models of the weapon are included:
Flail of Ages +3 (Acid, Cold, Fire) light flail parts 6, color 1
Flail of Ages +4 (Acid, Cold, Fire, Electrical) light flail parts 6, color 2
Flail of Ages +4 (Acid, Cold, Fire, Poison) light flail parts 6, color 3
Flail of Ages +5 (Acid, Cold, Fire, Electrical, Poison) light flail parts 6, color 4
(the bottom and middle pieces are the same for each, but each top is different)
I also included 6 Misc. Thin models for gathering the parts.
