@slyflourish offered a wonderful DM tip on Twitter the other day-use a wanted poster as a plot hook for your players. I wanted to do a small bit of artwork today, so I made a wanted poster for one Redgut Fieldraiser. The character portrait is from the old WOTC character portrait archive. My old undergraduate art history professor would call my use of it post modern appropriation. Either way, credit where credit is due. The rest is my work. It’s in printable pdf format so you can print it out for your players. I don’t know what Redgut did, but I’m sure it was…unwholesome.

I love the font on the poster. What is it?
I might as well also ask what filter you put on it. It looks like you did a charcoal smudging. Photoshop or Gimp?
I also love the wording of the poster. Very nice.
Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it.
The font is called Aniron. I found it at http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html .
As for the actual image, I did it in a pretty convoluted way. I did the layout in Freehand, then decided to move the whole shebang to Photoshop. I used a gradient in the background to get a worn parchment look and put an overlay layer of differance clouds to give it some texture. I then applied a light charcoal filter over the words and changed their color to an iron brown color.
