Nina Harper, Space Veterinarian

There are three ladies and three gentleman players in our sci-fi group at them moment, and if you've been paying attention, at least one of the ladies likes to draw.  Right now she's playing Nina Harper in Distant Atmospheres.

Nina is the group's veterinarian.  That's incredibly important in a universe where the only starships are gigantic, Cthulhu-like space squid that can warp time and space.

The campaign has stared on a rebellions, backwater world that is being blockaded by the UN Space Forces.  No known functional starships exist on the planet, yet the first thing that happens is that the thugs who recently took over the government attempt to kidnap Nina.

Wonder what that's about? :)

Peanut Characters as a D&D Party


One of the first things I remember drawing as a kid was Snoopy.  My sister and I would draw the whole Peanuts gang over and over again.  Well, actually, we would trace them and make adjustments to their faces where needed.  The recent Peanuts cartoon announcement on FOX got me thinking about the strip again, and how the angst ridden life of Charlie Brown made my life seem less crappy in comparison.

So - I was just thinking - I'd like to draw them again.  But as a D&D party.  However, that's as far as I've got in the thought process.  Exactly WHO should be included in the party (of five or so,) and what roles they should take - I'm not sure.

Crowd-sourcing to the rescue.  So - what do YOU think should be the party make-up?  Who fits into what character class?  Let me know in the comments.  I'll paste something together from your answers and draw the group.

Thanks for your input in advance . . . :)
