			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the continuing <a href="http://www.dmperez.com/2010/01/28/vampire-and-my-humanity/#comment-4314">discussion on Daniel Perez&#8217; blog about playing Vampire</a>, I was reminded of a character I played about 9 years ago that I&#8217;m pretty sure I haven&#8217;t mentioned much online before. I played in a World of Darkness crossover saga about two mages and a werewolf who form a folk-punk band called &#8216;FoolsGambit&#8217; and go around playing music and getting into various kinds of supernatural trouble. My character was the werewolf and bass player, and his name was Conor McBride. Conor was a type of werewolf called a Fianna Ragabash, which for those of you who are not into the terminology, means that he was 1. of Irish heritage and 2. was born under the moon-sign of the trickster-fool-shaman archetype. I chose to base Conor upon the appearance of Russell Crowe, and even made him a native Australian of Irish descent.<span id="more-1983"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.harpingmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/foolsnightpose.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1979" title="FoolsGambit" src="http://www.harpingmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/foolsnightpose-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></a>Conor&#8217;s bandmates were Liam MacKenzie, guitarist and singer, played by Shawn Nichols (the guy who ran our long and legendary Changeling saga), and Moriah, the drummer, played by Heather Nichols.</p>
<p>We only got to do a few sessions of this saga because it came about right at the time when the Nichols moved to Cincinnati and for awhile I traveled there to visit and play about once per month but then life began to get in the way,  and now all these years have passed and we&#8217;ve got this unfinished saga still floating around in our heads. Too bad.</p>
<p>Anyhoo, the discussion on Daniel&#8217;s blog brought all this into the front of my mind again, fondly, and I remembered that I have a collection of images that I created back when we were playing, using Poser and some other 3D software I&#8217;d gotten my hands on. I actually was pretty deep into doing 3d work for awhile, but in the end I realized that for me, the amount of work it took me to create all those models and textures and skins and scenes was out of proportion to my satisfaction with the results. Still, some pretty decent images were born out of my dalliance with 3d art, and I figured I&#8217;d put some of them up here in honor of FoolsGambit, my favorite supernatural punk-rock trio.</p>
