Anyone else ever do moodboards for characters? The traditional character portrait never worked for me. I've found that a collection of images does the job better.

Relatedly, would anyone be interested in seeing moodboard or outfit of the day pictures people have done for characters?




(Icon related because fashion Tories are like that, okay?)

Moodboards are great! I love them, they're a fun way to be creative and it's really fun to see the "vibe" or aesthetic of various characters

Moodboards always worked better for me, too, but my favorite was making mixes for characters. I still put on my mix for the character du jour about an hour before game start.

I've done a few for my most recent batch of characters (two for Santino because there was a fundamental Change in him between story arcs). Commissioned portraits too, but the moodboards did sort of... bring ideas together and express things like character Backgrounds and key locations.

I started a project to do some at one point, but let it fall by the wayside for reasons I don't remember. I liked the ones I did do, though.

Outfit-of-the-night stuff was big on my last game, since it was a forum-based chronicle. There as a nice little template for your signature- put in your appearance and charisma scores and a few sentences about how those came across, any obvious merits or flaws, etc. But at the bottom was a nice spot for your outfit. That is where I learned that men's clothing is not very interesting, lol.

And I would love to see some of yours :)

I have! Not in a while, but I have made them.
