The one I’m using now of a skeleton with a tongue of flame above his head is art from the comic I’m writing. It is the Ankou, a graveyard guardian from English folklore and an important character in the first few issues.

Well... to explain the story of my pfp, I would have to go into deep lore of the Skaven, the End Times and all of that stuff, which would take half an hour to write.

Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day and totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
Milio has been ditched. Now Xerath is my friend.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 15%.
QOTD: What is an idea for a campaign you've had for a long time but will probably never get to run.
I think, the most difficult campaign ideas I've had are murder mystery ideas. Because the use of magic can really unfold things pretty quickly.
Same. I'm just considering making a murder mystery and banning detect thoughts. But the ideas always been appealing and that's been even more true since I started watching old TV adaptations of Agatha Christie's books.
But hopefully I'll figure out how to power through and work on my wererat boat murder adventure plot... I kinda doubt it though. :)
Oh, and I say this a lot but... Affair on the Concordant Express is an adventure in Keys From the Golden Vault and it has a really cool mini-murder mystery in it.

BoringBard's long and tedious posts somehow manage to enrapture audiences. How? Because he used Charm Person, the #1 bard spell!

Uhhh... Tiamat looks kinda cool and I thought it was a better idea than what my PFP used to be (a random Bard with a flute). I might change it at some point but I'm too lazy to find something else I really like.

OK, cause I'm bored, I'm gonna post my D&D timeline here.
It starts at a local club, where a few people get together to hang out, chat and play a few different RPGs. I met my best friend here(who DMs dnd), and also the worst person I have ever encountered, in the literal sense of 'worst'. (To give you a picture, he called my favourite game tatty, made a ripoff dnd where he, as the GM, played the game, and he ended up with a weapon the auto-hitted and did 125 damage straight up which he insisted wasn't OP)
I play D&D. This goes on for 4 months before I decide to DM myself. Only 3 players? Who cares?
Start a proper campaign.
The day after my birthday last year, I joined DDB.
December that year, I discovered the forums.
The rest is history.

My pfp is Morgan Le Fay from the King Arthur stories. I just find her a fascinating character. Plus I’m drawn to arcane casters and red haired characters in general.
@BoringBard you should try the versions of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile that came out a few years ago. They’re really good. And yeah! I loved Affair on the Concordant Express.

It was a dark and stormy night...
I'm just kidding, the weather was regular weather that night. But I had just gotten the DnD monster manual for my birthday. I was flipping through the pages when I came across something. The gibbering mouther. I thought this was a very weird looking monster. I loved it.
Then I got DnD beyond and simply thought to myself, "Hey! A gibbering mouther would be a cool pfp!" And the rest is history. I've never changed it, unless you count that variation Klein made me for Christmas. (I was eating a Christmas Tree. Very tasty.)

I watched the Death on The Nile adaption with my mom and absolutely loved it. I haven't seen Murder on the Orient Express yet though.
I'm not sure if it was an old or new version of Death on the Nile and I'll try and check later, but we figured out the actual entire plot before the reveal.
Spoilers:
I thought it must be Simon because he was the only one who seemed to be really clear and he acted super weirdly when telling whatever her name is to stay with Jackie. Then my mom realized that means Jackie must be involved, and we pretty much figured out the plot which was really great. Then, when we finished up the film the next day, we discovered out we were almost completely right!!! :)

Mine is the logo I use for my game design products. It’s custom art created for me by my collaborative partner and one of my best friends since forever, one Jeff Marston. He does all the art for the products I have available on DM’s Guild (link below👇if interested). It’s a game piece modeled after a classic chess knight, only instead of a horse’s head it’s a purple unicorn with a rainbow horn. That’s because before I started publishing stuff I used to use some of the various stickers available on iOS, they’re essentially cooler more detailed 3d appearing versions of this: 🦄. Then for a while I was using a self portrait I created on HeroForge that was wearing a hood that looked like that. So since I had basically already been branding myself with a rainbow horned unicorn, I just went with it.

Well, I recently changed mine. My previous profile picture was the cover of the Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's a great book.
My new avatar is Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge in various Gnostic faiths. I based a D&D religion on Mandaeism (the last surviving Gnostic faith from antiquity), and thought he was interesting, so I decided to make him my pfp.

its just such an interesting world! I think they would have to make a new witch class but then again wizard could also just work fine. The races could be Witch and Demon, and SO MANY monster statblocks would be so interesting. From the puppeteer guy in the second episode, owl beasts, and so many more fun monsters. Not to mention the coolest boss monsters ever, like Emperor Belos or maybe an Emperor’s coven captain (Lilith or Kikimora) and a juvenile Titan and maybe even the collector (although possibly just in their depowered state, in their full power they single handedly fought the entirety of the Island without even trying. Like just them being there caused an apocalypse) and tons of new subclasses! The rune mage Wizard, the Emperor’s coven Paladin, the Titan’s Blood Sorcerer (my own idea, kinda like Titan Luz) and maybe a pact of the Archivist Warlock or Collector’s domain Cleric. OH AND WITCH HUNTER FIGHTER/PALADIN/MAYBE ROGUE. If belos used a character sheet he would be a mix of witch hunter and pact of the Archivist.
