A new avatar!

We interrupt you regular blog reading with this important message. I just got a new avatar for the blog! Michael got one a few months ago and I was just so envious I had to get one for myself. Well that’s not quite true. When I saw the dapper steam-punk Stargazer I asked him who had done his avatar for him and he pointed me to Symatt, a wonderful and talented guy who was kind enough to take my picture (a dangerous endeavor right there) and my desire to look like a paladin on my avatar, like the character from which I take my nickname, and came up with the image you see in this post.

I want to publicly thank him for the avatar. I am thrilled and uploaded it to Gravatar so you may see his creation in other services. Hope you like it as much as I do. It certainly easier on the eye than my picture!
Sunglar

Welcome, reader; thanks for taking the time to discover who I am! My name is Roberto, although I usually go by Sunglar online. I am a longtime tabletop RPG player, primarily a GM for the better part of that time; some will say that’s because of my love of telling a good story, others because I’m a control freak, but that’s debatable. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean with a small but active gaming community. I’ve played RPGs for almost 40 years, and for most of that time, I played D&D in all its permutations, including Pathfinder and D&D 5th edition. Other games our regular gaming group plays include Mutants & Masterminds, Castles & Crusades, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, Alien, and more. I have played many games through the years and plan to play many more. I am a compulsive homebrewer and rarely play a campaign I have not created myself. You can follow me on social media as Sunglar, and I’m regularly active on Facebook where you can find me posting regularly in the Puerto Rico Role Players group. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

For a second there, when I had just read the title and not the article, I thought you were talking about the TV show franchise (“Avatar: The Land Airbender” and “Avatar: The Legend of Kora”). Tease 🙂

    Sorry for the confusion. Would you believe I have never seen the series? I have seen the awful movie but not the animated series. I know it is supposed to be good, I should see it…

      You should! It’s definitely a great series. The first series (3 seasons/books) is a little more kid oriented, but still a good show for adults. The new one (Legend of Kora) is a bit more teen oriented… but, again, still a good show for adults.

        I have a friend who swears by it, and I must admit I have been negligent in catching up with animation. I watch as much as I can see, but I see more procedural drama and documentaries each day. Growing old! Thanks for the recommendation…

    I think symatt offered to create avatars for all of us, if I am not mistaken. I can get you in touch with him, if you wish.
