This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Coat of Arms Visual Designer Updated & A New Home
« on: February 17, 2009, 01:54:18 PM »
I've posted previously about my Coat of Arms software project, but not in a while. I've made several updates since, including:
-Better support for counter-changing. (Giving a charge--symbol, creature, or ordinary--a color scheme that is opposite to the colors of the background.)
-More options for divisions.
-More patterns for placement of multiple identical charges.
-Users can now specify a number of certain ordinaries. (3 bars, 2 chevronels, etc.)
-Divisions can now be subdivided by other divisions.
-And of course a whole bunch more.

The new website for it is at: http://www.inkwellideas.com/coat_of_arms/

Thanks, and please post any constructive criticism or requests over there or here.

Are these based on Franco-english heraldry, or can you use it to do Polish Heraldry too? The Polish heraldic symbols are pretty different (check out my FtA!GN! book for a very large set of those).

Thanks for your interest!  My sources are primarily English-French-German.  From looking at this page it seems there is at least some overlap of charges, but if you have a few specific requests please let me know and I'll add them to my queue.  (Especially if you can give me an example (hopefully public domain, but it doesn't have to be) to refer to.)
