    Gopher did a thread exactly like this a few months ago, but there's tons more people here with Avatars now.
    At first I sent in a couple wallpapers, then a couple more. Then Tal informs me that he doesn't put fan artwork up... so I wrote a NPC usage guide and a BG1 solo guide. I felt sooo special, like I'd joined a secret society or something.

    You?

    I don't have an avatar, but I wish I did. I guess I won't be recognizes for the excellence of my posts, so I will have to let "George" talk for me. Sad but true.

    Well, I've had to slave away espousing obtuse philosophical concepts, controversial interpretations, confrontational political machinations, and questionable conspiratorial theroies, just to get a Jasper Gem.

    I shudder to think of the bloodshed on my behalf to earn an avatar.

    I originally bought a few odds and sods through SP, but more recently I've become a News Poster.

    [​IMG] As I probably said in my old thread:
    • I submitted two Guides for IEEP (BG2). One Item Maker and one Spell Maker tutorial.
    • I made and modified some portraits and sent them in for BG2. They're under Gopherboy's Retouched Portraits.
    • I donated £10 by mail.
    • I joined the News Crew and was Temple of Elemental Evil poster (occasional general poster) for a good few months.
    • I bought a $28 book via SP, Legacy of Drow by R.A Salvatore.
    • I worked on the artwork and graphics for the upcoming SP merchandise.
    • .. and finally I just sent £10 via PayPal a few weeks ago.

    First off... SP has merch?
    Second... anyone actually buy SP merch? I mean, no offense, but I wouldn't really want to wear a shirt that might as well say: "Hey! Over Here! Beat Me Up!" :p

    SP has a full range of merch which has been waiting for 6 weeks now to go live because I still haven't received the samples (read my weekly Happenings on the front page for more info). One way or another, the store will go live next week. And you'll love the merch, I can guarantee that.

    Before I took on Beren as a PDN, I had submitted BG1 and BG2 walkthroughs as Dave Milward.

    I've since also submitted an IWD2 walkthrough, and the NPC interactions guide.

    Cool, I'm Canadian. But what does that have to do with it?

    @Beren

    I read your walkthrough. It's really, really, really good.
