oops, sorry... can you edit it out?  Or can we provide a link to the pic?  I'll pm you the link.

I would do it myself, but I can't seem to edit my old posts.


Although, I think if you wanted to close this thread... that would be fine.  I think it is probably on the way of being played out.  I've gotten a lot out of it.

Doesnt' bug me.  Whatever picture it is, it tends to be of the character's "working clothes".  We all have imaginations that can switch the spandex of the superhero set to
leather jacket and jeans if the scene calls for it... or a suit and tie.  In fantasy, only the noble classes have several changes of clothes to begin with.

Well, my point was kinda that the "working clothes" outfit tends to get assumed, and then forgotten.  So the point was to explicitly prompt for a description, to trigger the consideration of this factor in these circumstances, which I think helps ground the player in the imaginary setting.  Like, you mentioned you use weather effects, why not set a scene in the rain thus ask the characters what they wear when its coming down cats and dogs?  But, from your response you may well be doing that with the switch from spandex to suits and ties and so forth.

All fixed!

Don't apologize when moderated (newcomers take note of this, please).

I agree that this thread has reached a good stopping point, so let's close it. Great discussion, great example of actual play.

Best,
Ron
