OMG, this turned out great! I love it!

I am so glad I got everyone's styles down during a co op game round, I think I spend more time trying to fit that into the image than actually rendering it..hah..

This will be going right above the game table. I love the fact I can recognize the cards too. We need to get our Pathfinder on again sometime! Thank you SO much for doing this for us!

I'm going to be buying prints in the next month, I'll ping you over email about pricing for my volume discount...

I can remember when CCG's were not considered table top gaming.

Needs Ad&D books a grid map with tunnels drawn on it and figures to be gaming!

Just kidding!

Aww..is 'Rise of the Runelords' really CCG? I found it to be more table top card/quick setup version of Pathfinder..;(
But yeah..I can relate..I'm someone that was in High school when Magic STARTED..

That puts you close to my age. I was finishing up high school when it came out.

I've been gaming for 30 years now, and I have to say that CCGs were always table top. What else would they be? D&D was roleplaying, and everything else was simply table top with the exception of Battle Tech and Rogue Trader (yes I am that old) which were wargaming.

They were not considered table top gaming, they were tossed in the same category as board games. Table top games were RP or War games.

Must be an area specific thing. Classically, the board, card, role playing, and even war gaming were tabletop. As opposed to the video gaming trend that was taking hold in the mid to late 90's.

Walk into any store where I gamed (Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Washington, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire) and the table top section has all but the war games, since they require specific terrain usually. Unless you're playing one of the many GMT games.

In many stores, like the one I ran in MA for 6 years, or the one I owned in MI, the RPG gamers refused to count themselves as table top gamers for some reason.

Strange I had never heard the term used as you describe until the past decade or so. Perhaps it too longer to get to the SW.

For role playing games, back when I started them in the early 80s, we would refer to them as RPGs for short. With the advent of computer RPGs, a new distinction had to be made between one RPG and the other. Most often this was Pen & Paper RPG vs. CRPG, though some times I would hear Table Top RPG. Table Top Games have always been for me any game played on a table top (as opposed to computer games or physical games like twister or croquette), inclusive to board, card and RPGs.

Of course I don't have a problem with lumping most of my interests together in the same term. It is so much easier to say that I like table top games and computer games, than it is having to separate and spell out every type (card, board, P&PRPG, miniature, cooperative, strategy..)

It is also possible that I just missed the term. After my early 20s I didn't have money for conventions any more. Hanging out and playing with my friends was not necessarily an environment to promote to picking up on changes. As computer games were not really becoming a truly big thing until after that time period they would not have influenced the terminology I had learned.

Awesome piece of work!!!

Wow, this is absolutely stunning. *churr* :X)

I thought those two looked familiar. :D

This is so cool =D

Amazing work. This must have been hours of work.

it tells a story and I love that....
