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. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 45 minutes ago, Corsair said: Good morning!

I don't think there will every be any nefarious at Reaper, so I'm going with real person. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Question for 3 August 2020: Is @Reaper_Jon a real person, or did @Reaper Justin create him him from CGI for nefarious purposes? 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... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for 3 August 2020: Is @Reaper_Jon a real person, or did @Reaper Justin create him him from CGI for nefarious purposes? Of course he's fake. The *beard* is real though. It's sentient and a respected contributor to the miniature community. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for 3 August 2020: Is @Reaper_Jon a real person, or did @Reaper Justin create him him from CGI for nefarious purposes? 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 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for 3 August 2020: Is @Reaper_Jon a real person, or did @Reaper Justin create him him from CGI for nefarious purposes? 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. 4 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for 3 August 2020: Is @Reaper_Jon a real person, or did @Reaper Justin create him him from CGI for nefarious purposes? 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. 2 hours ago, Kuroneko said: CGI, no beard is that impressive in real life My beard certainly is not…. 2 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why @Reaper Justin's profile icon is a camera... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
