<quote tibiotarsus>Please feel free to submit whatever portrait you want to see in the gallery when you make your submission, yes.
Sweet! Longterm plotting to give this site the ability to run a certain game hopefully coming out next year commences...I may have a comrade to help with the MoN issues.
SunRuan, it looks like there's a bit of cross-purposes here: you're talking about single PCs, I'm talking about GMs having the ability to play in a setting with relative ease. I'm already doing my best, but at 1 portrait a month it's like...there's stuff you literally can't do (I'd mention settings I'd like to run but it'd probably count as an ad). I'm sorry you feel torn down by having non-white/young/Hollywood ladies take up slots that could be used for a new hairstyle, that wasn't my intention, but we honestly have so many of those ladies the hairstyles probably
exist already if the new submitters did the searching there was an implication I hadn't. ...and would be easier to find if tagged. Hence the tag helping query, because I would love to help.
I mean, I also like things to be efficient, and submitting portraits only useful for oneself in a limited system seems inefficient for the system as a whole, which is why I haven't flooded the system with native Siberians, instead providing our only historical Asiatic mum-age lady and a couple of kids in Russianised clothing people can pretend are several ethnicities.
As BBR said, no-one's suggesting - or has ever suggested - we make the gallery diverse just because Planet Earth, Sol System, is, but a better range of humans breaks the loop of having a few well-worn stories it's easy to tell and everyone else having to work twice as hard with shoddier materials (which means those stories get shoved to the back burner because who wants to work on their fun time, which means it's easier to talk about mediaeval England, but Potatoes,
Again, etc. etc.). More communally-available variety causes no problems, whilst more of things we have already objectively pads out the size of the haystack at least some GMs are patiently fishing needles from in a system that's struggling with its search capacities.
If you don't know what to say to me, please don't. I only wanted to ask a question/make a suggestion about gallery efficiency, and Warrax is very patient with such (thank you).
