Just finished watching The Cube on Netflix.
Didnt give many answers to the plot

>>9670993
It was interesting, neat enough concept. I might run a dungeon based on it in dnd.

>>9670995
DnD, maybe my LARP. I couldnt construct the whole thing, it would be a dungeon crawl in a building or something.

>>9670997
Different rooms with monster encounters, Puzzles, traps, etc

>>9670999

>>9671000
(One of my favorite in my collection)

So, Diary,
One of my biggest issues is I have to many dnd games I want to run.

>>9671001
I had to scrap my plans of sending my players to a Monster Isle esc place, like Kong, Skull Island

>>9671003

>>9671005
I just had to many ideas and designs for it, and I couldnt do it justice in only one part of this much larger setting.

>>9671008
My players are on a fairly time sensitive goal at the moment, so they would just be rushing to get off the island

>>9671011
They wouldnt take the time to enjoy it, even if they wanted to, and I dont know if theyre going back to the island nations. (Sandbox game problem)

Did this ever happen in the comics, or is it a fan creation?

>>9671015
Encourage them to leave but leave a reason to come back. Like giant moster sized for that's locked. Then drop the key later when they have time

Oh jeez the details are really good, love it

>>9671407
This is a Disney face character. Not cosplayer.

>>9670991
I was at nyccc 2013 and there was a guy cosplaying the kid with the plank. Average cosplay but once you saw Plank immediately made it. Bonus points when I asked him for a picture I got to sign Plank for knowing who he was. Second best that year to Bananerine.

>>9671022
is he missing a foot? i am v confuse

>>9671022
How the fuck does he move?

Just wanna say this thread is A++

batman, show me batman

>>9671928
I call a guy at work "Ed boy" and he has no clue why.

>>9670987
Power Boy can do all the shit he wants to me, ill be obedient unffff

>>9678066

>>9678068

>>9678371
That’s a woman. What are you doing?

>>9669326
This board really is reverse /r9k/

>>9678566
How?

>>9671011
is that Dwayne Johnson

>>9679726
Yes

Oh so Dwyane Johnson is the opposite of r9k

>>9675537
No, his leg is just at an angle where his bent knee obscures most of it.

>>9678416
That's a boy

>>9680888
As in, a person with a penis? Or a """""boy""""""?

>>9670993
Hypercube is better plot-wise I think.

>>9680944
Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina

It's just the angle/lighting that gives that effect in the photo.

>>9681081
Obviously, but this wouldn't be the first female cosplayer claiming to be totally legit male trans uwuwuwu for fujoshi attention.

>>9678371
Good cosplay

Hey guys, I'm interested into looking into actually trying this hobby. Do you have any basic readmes or advice on how to make costumes, track events, or finances required? Sorry for asking here, but I'm new to this board and don't know where else to really start.

>>9685942
If you read the sticky you'd see a whole page full of guides. Ask in the help thread, but be specific and don't expect people to spoon-feed you.

Why are all of these so gay?
I wanna cosplay as geralt and i'm gonna grow my hair and get ripped in the mean time.

>>9686055
>So gay
Because it's women and gay men posting make cosplays they like? Are you fucking new here?

>>9686096
Or men and reverse traps self posting for attention.

>>9686096
well yes i just came here to see what you guys are up to because someone posted on fit

>>9686137
>fit post leads to cgl
>goes to male thread
I think this says more about you than anyone else.

>>9686151
you don't visit fit too often do you?

also i came here to see how male cosplayers look like, not sluts.

>>9686159
That was their whole point you fruitcake

>>9686162
so was mine.

Anyone got Bloodborne Hunter stuff? Or Skitarii/Guardsmen from 40K?

I haven't been to a con in years but I might make some costumes for Halloween or fancy dress stuff because I've got a reputation as the costume guy now (meaning I'm one of the two who don't just throw on some shitty facepaint and black clothes).

Thanks for any help anons.

y'all, that raiden's a girl.

>>9686055
OP here, also a straight man. I think you're projecting a bit.

>tfw you can't even speak about "male cosplay" without tumblr transbois coming in to post their shit claiming they're male

>>9687614
There's more people complaining about transbois than actual transboi posting lol

>>9687771
What if they just had a transbois thread then?
Or did it turn into people just complaining instead of actual transbois posting.

>>9687900
Idk, but I assume we had a male cosplay thread because male cosplay in general is under appreciated
Trannies and crossplaying have this "UWU pretty trap" stuff going for them and girls have thirsty guys.
But for guys, there isn't a whole lot of love unless they have an OTT armor setup or are ripped and shirtless.

>>9695064
>dat photoshop

>>9695211
Traps are a subset of male though?

>>9695235
They seem to be separate, since there are a large group of people at whatever con you go to who will tell even the worst crossplayers that they're cute and great, even ones who are only store bought cosplays.
Non-crossplay make cosplays like I said are pretty undervalued unless they're either muscle cosplays or OTT armor. Even in this thread, a majority are one or the other.

>>9671000
Based treasure planet. Also checked

>>9695270
Isn't that the same for girl cosplayers though? Either they have to be slutty or some kind of well made/super accurate costume.

>>9696923
Not from what I've seen at cons. Females I know at cons definitely get stopped more frequently for plain cosplays than guys do. Even plain Jane bought cosplays will get stopped by more people than a decent male cosplay.

It honestly sucks that men have to either have a muscle cosplay, OTT armor, or crossplaying or they get ignored. I mean look at the posts here. Almost all of them are in one of those three categories

>>9695329
This weirds me out too much. Bright classic cartoony robin next to SUPER ANGER Batman with the tdk plating.

>>9697511
someone's pissy their bad cosplays don't get noticed

>>9697526
That's a pretty shitty retort considering it's a well known fact people in the cosplay community pass over any guy who dis have one of those three types of cosplays. Also given the huge anti male sentiment on this board and the cospoay community in general

>>9697528
>Also given the huge anti male sentiment on this board and the cospoay community in general

I have been cosplaying for over 12 years now and I have never noticed any anti male sentiment in the cosplay community or on this board.
There is an anti "spoon feeding you through your cosplay" sentiment, and an anti "dudes who just want to fuck cosplay chicks" sentiment, but no anti male sentiment.

I've been cosplaying and attending cons at least 2-3 times per year since 1997, so perhaps I can offer some insight.

Within the past decade, attention towards and the popularity increase of simply being female has risen dramatically. I mean yeah in the early days of MySpace (and before the rise of social media and camera phones) sex sold, and that is true today as well. However, the amount of bias inclined in the favor of women at cons and cosplay in general has expanded by several orders of magnitude.

A less-than-average quality cosplay being worn by a average or slightly above average looking female will be swarmed with 'togs and GWCs at a con. Same as on social media: thousands of likes for a mediocre cosplay that features any amount of skin or cleavage.

Despite far outnumbering women at con attendance, male nerds and cosplayers have to go above and beyond (in both costume construction and physical appearance) to get noticed at any capacity. It's been a sad scene these last 15 or so years.

>>9698317
this
women and thirsty incels were a mistake

>>9698319
once upon a time, fidelity and costume construction actually mattered. Now it's T&A > craftsmanship

>>9695211
You're right.
It seems that if you want to cosplay as a male in a big con you have to be either a obnoxiously overdone armoured character or just a slut with a six pack.

>>9698833
Honestly that's the way it feels for female cosplayers most of the time nowadays as well, if you want any attention

>>9698857
that seems like a load of shit. I've been hanging around mid sized cons and honestly the more modest cosplays get more attention there than the slutty ones. At huge cons, yeah the thirsty guys swarm them, but at smaller cons people hate slutty cosplays for the most part.

>>9698864
Really? It seams any female cosplayer who's not fat get all the attention even if they're not that attractive or good at it.
It really diminishes the quality of the others cosplays, people stop caring because who cares about your efforts with bikini Catwoman over there is getting mobbed.

>>9699834
wrong thread, mate

>>9699836
The best cosplay in the thread so far

>>9675694
I made one, part of a Toy Story group with 4 soldiers, both feet attached to the base, to move we simply jumped like the actual toy soldiers.

>>9699834
>>9699836
Doesn't belong here
Go post in the crossplay thread

>>9699879
Are you sure, Anon? They're all men in a costume. OP should've been more specific, I guess.

>>9695329

"Kill him. Kill him now."

Is it possible to be seen as a good male cosplayer if you aren't tall, asian or have a six pack?

Just curious.

>>9703782

Do you really need that question answered for you? If you are tall, asian, or have a six-pack they'll call you a man-whore, if you don't you won't even exist outside of bad cosplay threads
