Dude your awsome...
seriously great crest renderings i was gonna do the same but yours are ten times better than what i was gonna do. Continue with the rest of them on the map i too have it as well and well its a bit dark so not so good for rendering imo. Nashkell gonna be a pain in the ass mate unless you can tell what those beasties are. As far as i can see there are only 5 left on there to do Baldur's Gate already done, though a bit small.

Thanks
Nice to get some feedback, yeah nashkel next...i think they are boars, but im not sure. Once ive finished nashkel and baldurs gate, i'm gona start doing the crests for the factions, like flmaing fists etc.

Nice find
That is the map i'm using for reference, it came with my Baldur's Gate game all those years ago.

Back when they sold the old 5 disc edition ;)? I have one to... but i lost the map :(... Oh yeah and i might as well say it: Really well done on the images you made ^^! Btw a note about the "Talk" pages: Look above the post to this there is a "edit" in blue... Click it and you can just post after this comment making it a more centered thread, Sorry if you already know this sorry for bothering you. 83.248.32.95 14:36, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

I got the 6 edition set, with TOTSC. such a great game. Glad you like the images im working on. Thanks for the tip, makes more sense.

Copy/pasting from source material
Please do not copy/paste material from Forgotten Realms (or any other) sources such as the content of the "Nar" article. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 22:49, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah the page has disappeared because I had to delete it. If you edit an article that previously had copyrighted material, the material is still visible in the article history, so if that happens, we need to delete the article and start fresh. You're still able to create a blank article on the same name as the old one. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 18:38, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Why did you capitalize?
Why did you rename Gnome hooked hammer to Gnome Hooked Hammer? I thought I was following the use lower case rule. Moviesign 21:02, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Oh fair enogh, wasn't aware of this rule..was just abiding by the grammar i was taught at school..will change it back. sorry

It's a wiki thing. See the Reasoning section in that policy link. If I had my way, all wiki pages would be case insensitive, just like email addresses. If that causes confusion, that is what disambiguation pages are for. But obviously they didn't ask me :) 21:19, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Durlag
Thom, sorry about that... I was just in a mode... after working on Durlag's Tower... I wanted to surprise you by creating the category of inhabitants of Durlag's Tower and show you there was info in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast, but I probably revised too much on Durlag's page. Just change back it back, if you like! I will edit it again and see if you like it better... You know, a lot of the characters on this page can have their own pages, such as his father. I did not mean to upset you :) Darkwynters 22:49, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thom, check out Bolhur the Clanless... I just create the page for you... just click on a red link and away you go!!! Darkwynters 00:37, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Image tags
Hey, did you know there's a Screenshot template for use on uploaded screenshots, such as File:Mechezarin skeleton.png? Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 22:50, January 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you upload using Special:Upload, it's in the drop-down selector there, making your life easier. For some inexplicable reason, Wikia have decided that they're not interested in making lives easier so they've made it incredibly hard to get to that page unless you already know about it! Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 00:06, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, and Crests
Thanks Thomas! And let me say your crests are bringing some much needed color to their pages :) If I read about a crest in a book, would you be interested in creating it from the description?  For example, in Forgotten Realms Adventures on page 111 it says "The heraldic arms of Tantras are a silver curling wave (breaker) surmounted by three silver stars, on a field of royal blue." and there are probably more.  Let me know if you are up for that :)  Moviesign 12:44, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * That Tantras crest looks great! I know of at least one more that is printed in a sourcebook but without any color, just the outlines.  If you give me your email address I can scan it from the book and send it to you. I probably shouldn't upload scans to the wiki because they are likely copyrighted, but if you render them that should be quite legal. Drop me a line at moviesign AT gmail DOT com.


 * Flaming Fists is already done. Blacktalons has a description but it says "threetaloned", perhaps that means three talons and an opposing one? Red Ravens has a description. I'll see if I can locate a reference to the Bloodaxe Mercenary Company. As for the Dales, that may take a bit of digging, I'll see what I have. Enjoy! Moviesign 01:30, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

May I Say...
I am deeply impressed with your crests, may I say I'm astounded that the Nesk flag has 3 boar heads. And thanks for making all of them dude your one of the few who do self renders good job and keep it up. Pharuan Undearth 17:57, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Thom, I love your energy and passion for this wiki so far :) But the Building infobox is not complete... there are links to Inhabitants of various places... and races who frequent the establishments... sources... and pages... now, I think Pharuan fixed this... but you dropped links I had included in the Elfsong Tavern... I just think we should either have an admin check out the template or just add the building template to none existing infobox pages until they can have all the data included... do you see what I am saying :) Darkwynters 00:47, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I know you are excited... and Cronje has done a fantastic job... I would just hate to change ALL these pages and then have FW or another admin tell us to change them back :( Darkwynters 01:00, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Images from interactive atlas
Interesting question about exporting images from the interactive atlas. It is still subject to copyright, but I would say if you were to create a copyright tag similar to Excerpt from 3e map then we could apply that to all such images, and provided they're not high-resolution, and the same information couldn't have been provided otherwise (from a free source for example), it ought to be fine.

Archmage of Menzoberranzan
Hey Tom, just wondering where you are getting the info on Pharaun being Archmage from. I'm working through the Lady Penitent series and at the moment. I have not heard of any other references to his new position. A Citation for this would help the Sorcere article a lot. --Eli the Tanner 20:57, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Dethek
Thom, I am not sure this will help... in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition, on page 86 is an example of the dwarven language... I have not looked at your two examples, but this would be the official Forgotten Realms one... and it is the same as the decoder in the ole Pool of Radiance (game) :) Darkwynters 03:43, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * BadCat's right... page 11 and 12 of Dwarves Deep has words and the outside jacket has the whole alphabet... plus, there are a bunch of runes you might find fun rendering :) Darkwynters 03:47, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Tenses
Thom, check out Forum:Split the wiki... it's long, but it will get you up-to-date with ideas, feelings, and members of the wiki :) Darkwynters 23:53, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Baldurs gate
Hay i know you like Baldurs gate... But have you heard about this: http://www.baldursgate.com/ :D? Terrorblades - This is recorded live at  07:57, April 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * You're most welcome ^^! I jumped out of my chair when i first read it ^^. When it's released wanna try and get a group to getter? it would be fun to make a group with new people ^^! Maybe invite more people from the wiki :D? Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  12:40, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Dragon Template Changes
I've reverted the changes to the released parameter in Dragon magazine, as separating it into month/year only makes the template unnecessarily complicated. One parameter is much simpler, since they perform the same function. I've also standardized the way the previous/next parameters appear on the page.

This won't change how the articles that use the month/year parameters appear, and newly-created articles can still use those parameters, but they will be deprecated. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 04:41, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
