I've heard people around here talk about buying art of their characters, and it seems like something I'm interested in doing. However, I can't seem to find any artists anywhere who offer commissions for characters because I don't know where I should look to find them.
Does anybody know of any high-quality, affordable artists who can draw commissions of peoples characters? How about any sites/groups where I can find them?
Is anyone here planning on running the 1-2 Evergreen Trilogy anytime soon? I know someone started one earlier, but I missed my chance to sign up for it.
Well, there's a few different ways to do it. Using the LOTR script would require people to have that font installed (which is probably why you're seeing gibberish), so you're stuck with other options. You could do Google translate, use spoiler tabs, or <"Put brackets around 'Elvish' text like this"> to show that it's different. It's up to you, really.
Would using the Sindarin (Elvish) vocabulary that Tolkien provided to manually write the text in Elvish using English lettering work, and or would that be too much of a hassle? And would it be alright to improvise Sindarin translations for words that aren't a part of it's vocabulary, or would that be confusing?
I'm interested in making an Elf character for PFS PbPing sometime soon, but I can't find any language or script that I could use as Elvish. I looked up some Sindarin and Tengwar script translators, but they don't seem to be compatible at all with BBCode; the text just shows up as a bunch of random numbers and symbols.
Does anybody know of any LOTR Elvish script translators that would work here on the messageboards? And if not, what's the language that people typically use here as a substitute for Elvish?
I'm a long-time Pathfinder, and slightly new to PFS, but I've only recently begun to consider giving PbP a try. It would work well for me, as there hasn't been that much PFS going on in my area. However, I do have a few questions before I start:
1. In PFS PbP Scenarios, are we allowed to use characters we've played in PFS irl? And if so, are there any requirements to use them?
2. Can PbP characters be played at actual PFS events? And if so, does the XP gained here count as XP for irl PFS. For instance, if I had a 1st level character, and he earns 6 XP on the boards, can I play him as a 3rd level character at my local game store?
3. Are there any other special rules or requirements for PFS on the boards?
Thanks in advance, and I'd appreciate all the help I can get.

Backstory- Marcus was raised by a small Elven community called, Little Hollow to be a guide and protector and connection to the nearby villages the Elves traded with. He was raised communally calling most elders ‘Uncle or Aunty’ in the Elvish tongue.
When he was old enough to understand he was told he was an Orphan, sired by a dead woman who had been traveling with a passing caravan that fell victim to human bandits (FE- Human) and he was told of his expected role and his training with the woodsman began. He learned the ways of the forest and the dangers that lurked there. He learned to fight, ride and shoot. Preferring Melee over archery (he was naturally better at it and found Bows of limited use in the dark of night, where most threats lurk) He filled his role admirably. That is until a devil inadvertently conjured by a local bumbling sorcerer’s apprentice was responsible for a plague of undead that over a 2 week siege eventually wiped his home. Barely escaping with his life, he went to the cities seeking the magical means to track down the devil, whom destroyed his comfortable existence and simply vanished after the attack.
