I'd like to meet some of the people from here I haven't met yet. I know your forum handles, but not your faces. 

 

 

 

I think this was the best thing about going to RCon in 2005. Being able to part the digital curtain & see & talk with the person behind the avatar. It helped in the early years that we had name badges with our forum name (some with actual avatar pics) & real names as well.

If it helps, you can imagine me in whatever manner you wish. Robert Redford, Harrison Ford, Chris Hemsworth... Danny DeVito... whatever floats your boat ::D:

For August 1 & 2:

1 If you were planning/hoping/dreaming of being at Reapercon this year, what is the one program or event you will miss most?

2 Who is the one Forumite you would like to meet there?

1. Reapercon is on the bucket list and has been for some time.  I just enjoy cons to be immersed in a sea of folks who are into the same crazy stuff as I am. 

2. While I'd love to meet just about anyone on here, I think sitting down with the folks who are 3d printing to put faces to names and chat about the ups and downs of that side of the hobby would be a blast.

Good morning! Question for 3 August 2020: Is @Reaper_Jon a real person, or did @Reaper Justin create him him from CGI for nefarious purposes?

I don't think there will every be any nefarious at Reaper, so I'm going with real person.

I just assumed Reaper was some sort of Lovecraftian horror that extrudes psuedopod-like extensions of its persona as new positions are needed. Need an accountant and a president? There's Dave and Ed forming from a tentacular appendage to do the job. Need an art director? There's Ron giving us wrong sized mouslings. Need someone to cast metal minis? Better extrude a Jon. This theory holds up in that they repeatedly say on Twitch that everyone does different jobs. I mean, Lovecraftian horrors have only so many employee extruding tentacles to go around. You never see anything below the waist on Twitch, it's probably all just tentacles under the table. And don't get me started on what is likely under Jon's "beard."

In a way, both. He is a sentient sprue made from spare Bonesium, but is nonetheless very real. After all, everyone here almost certainly has at least a bit of Bones in them by now...

I dunno, if we're going with crazy silly ideas...  I think he made him more out of gaff tape and various types of balanced audio cables, and a camera dummy battery a/c adapter.  Seems more likely giving just how much tinkering Justin has to do to keep the stream going sometimes ::P:

I only wish Jon was CGI... That would be far less horrifying than the truth...

 

When you put a few drops of blood and some hair from Dave, Ed, and Ron into Thomas as part of a dark ritual stolen by Reaper from the Inquisitorial vaults of GW... Why do you think they started Reaper UK? Don't believe the story they say about shipping...

 

But GW knows. And with every day, they come closer to infiltrating Reaper in return. And on the anointed day, during Reaper Live, they shall strike! And all watching that day shall know why it is that that knowledge was locked away.

I always thought it was the other way round. Reaper_Justin is the audio-only creation of Reaper_Jon. Reaper_Justin's disembodied voice is the voice of The Beard. Ventriloquism is involved.

CGI, no beard is that impressive in real life ::D:

 

My beard certainly is not….
