I have seen some really cool icons on this and other boards and often wonder where people get them. If anyone ever played Magic: The Gathering there is no guess where mine came from but most I have no clue. Tell me where you got yours!

Mine is Mordenkainen from the old box set Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventuer. Its a much better looking Mordenkainen.

Yours is the Demonic Tutor, right? I haven't played that in probably a decade :p

Mine is Warduke, just cause Warduke is the bizzomb.

Mine is the Ekkyon Wayfarer from the Dreamblade line of miniatures, because he looks totally badass.

Mine's from Star Wars, and I don't even play that stuff.

Mine's from Star Wars minis, because it matches my screen name. :)

If i did a magic card for my name it'd probly be Darien, King of Kjeldor cuz he's the stuff. I have a soldier deck that I'm proud of even though it can't win at tourneys. Darien is lazy or something. He is consistently on the bottom. I don't mean within 5 cards of the bottom, I mean THE bottom.

Well, they didn't have anything that quite matched my name (they had some rodents, but all were bicloptic :( ), so I my icon's the deranged hermit from magic. It fits. I also had a magic deck that popped out a few of these and did cute, evil things to the squirrels. Nothing's more enjoyable than crushing your oppenent with half a dozen 11/11 squirrels.

I used to love destroying people with ornithopters. That was humiliating :)

It just seemed me to have an image of an unkempt little man scared and hiding in the dark.
Orthithopters, squirrels, lemures all those little things that a planeswalker could turn deadly.
Now back to lurking on these forums...

100% right on. My screen name is from another MTG card but I don't like the picture so used ol' DT.

I think yours is really what I need for my half-orc barbarian (now playing Red Hand of Doom). Never found one that was just right for a name tag for him. But this would do hansomely. Could you give me just a bit more information about where I might find it (if you don't mind if I use it).

OH MAN! Of course, <kick self> How in the world did I miss it. Love that card (love squirrel decks too--if I am the one playing it). Favorate card, though is the Raging Gobblin. But really didn't like any of the three art versions of it as well as ol' DT.

It's one of the D&D Minis avatars. I'm not sure exactly where it was, but that should help.

Mine is the cover of the old AD&D 2nd edition PHB. It's probably one of the main peices of art that really helped get me hooked into D&D.

I KNEW I had seen that someplace but for the life of me could not remember where. Thanks for letting the subconscious get some rest.

Humm, maybe he and my Serra Avitar are out doing something we don't know about and that is why they are always coming in late.....
