Sorry for the lack of deer this year, but I could not leave you all without a Christmas present. For those that know me well, Tabletop gaming has been a passion of mine since 1976. One of my earliest was GDW's Traveller. Recently I got into a game of Traveller using the Mongoose 2nd Edition rules set, and have been having a ball. In that game, the GM insisted on people picking Photos for use as Character portraits. Some time later, a new player joined that wanted to play a Vargr. (for the uninitiated Vargr are wolf people, that aren't very close to human, but close enough to be able to use Human tools and equipment. They are digitigrade, and a bit stoop shouldered.) Being a very long lived RPG, it was surprising that the Vargr art was so bad. Talking with the new player, i volunteered to work something up for her, based on her late, beloved dog. so I did a portrait, a flat map token and as a bonus, worked up a Mini on Hero Forge. This is the Portrait. if I do commissions in the future I may offer these as packets for tabletop characters. painted in Photoshop. R U G G E L S / 2 0 2 0

Traveller first came out in 1976, as three little black books in a sturdy box by Game Designer's Workshop, just like another famous game started out a couple of years earlier, involving Dragons and stuff. This game was opure science fiction, though. For a huge , Star Spanning Empire, marc W. Miller and Co. scavenged and borrowed as many words as they could, using Assyrian for a lot of the Vilani, The Vargr, were following an old tradition in Science Fiction of having wolf like aliens (look up the Ardazirho, some time, as well as the FGU game Other Suns). The Vargr, were known as pirates and scavengers on the coreward edges of the empire, but then fleshed out in the 45 year history of the game, developing their own culture and history.
