Terror, I just wanted to say I like the Verbeeg pictures you have posted :) It's funny it took me almost 10 years from reading The Crystal Shard to get the joke... one of my players said, "It's a verybig giant, not V-er-beeg" I laughed so hard I had the giant cut his head off *grins* Darkwynters 19:05, September 28, 2011 (UTC)Darkwynters

Terror, I read the Crystal Shard when I was 13 years old... great book!!! Actually, you seem to like Drizzt, I would recommend Homeland... there is lots of Drow in that book :) Darkwynters 18:21, September 29, 2011 (UTC)Darkwynters

Licence question
Hi, if the images are from source material then they need to be low resolution and they need to be the only way of illustrating that particular thing, in absence of free images for the same purpose. If that's the case, then the Fairuse template should be fine for this. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 15:43, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! Thanks for answering ^^! Are there any specific resolution that is wanted or needed? Are the Comics source material? If you haven't sen them here they are: http://www.comicvine.com/drizzt-dourden/29-43472/ (I don't have all of these tough). Ok Nice thank's ^^! So the fair use images should always come last? But these are Wizards license Comics so they are official.

Old Games
Blades, I'm also playing Eye of the Beholder... great game... now, it has the same arrow problem as the Menzoberranzan (game)... as for the Pool of Radiance (game)... you just buy arrows and do not get them back... check out this website:, the website also has pretty much all the old games, including Eye and Menzo Enjoy! :) Darkwynters 19:17, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wynters, Really? *ugh* Will i guess I'll just have to get use to it :-/! Well I'm fine with just loosing the arrows it's just the picking up every time after battle because that are no more... Oh and strange useless items like Gold coins :S! Oooh nice, thanks! I'll definitely look at these ^^! I Think I'll tackle the Eye of the Beholder first... Mainly for the similarities and i think those games get voiced text later on... i might be wrong... Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  00:04, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Picture category
Blades, I think you should directly ask Hash, Cronje, or FW about your category question :) Darkwynters 20:16, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wynters, Yeah hmm... I'll ask Cronje he's really active ^^! Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  19:15, June 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Cool :) Darkwynters 19:19, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Past tense
Ahhh, Blades... first, great images... second, I am not sure we decided to make the creatures past tense... third, ahhh... "were" and "where" do not have the same meaning... perhaps, you should wait on making creature pages past tense until I speak with High Admin BadCat :) Darkwynters (talk) 20:23, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Awww Damn it sorry! Ok Sadly i did make the last one Past tense... Well should i revers it or should we leave it untill High Admin desides something?  Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  20:30, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Blades, let's just wait until BadCat responds :) Please feel free to continue with the pictures... remember this wiki has a lowercase policy, so categories like Images of jugjugs would be lowercase, not Jugjugs :) Darkwynters (talk) 20:37, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok! Ah ok sorry I'm in bit of a "rush" of firing out images :P! What i mean to say is that I'll do it according to the policy from now on! Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  20:45, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh wow... erm... now i see how many "h"'es i missed in the brass dragon page... damn i'm really sorry :(! Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  22:57, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

First, past tense is fine for creatures and most other articles.

Second: Dude, slow down! :) Seriously, you've made so many we can barely keep up. You'll do yourself an injury or something. :)

Please try to concentrate more on the quality of the images. For example, Image:BGII - Creature - Greater Earth Elemental.jpg: it's very small and very dark, and I just cannot see what's the creature looks like. Try to catch clearer images that better show off the creature. Like lighter images, larger images, greater resolution, or images with more space around them so the subject is more clearly defined. Check out game walkthrough and information websites (like PlanetBaldursGate, Gamebanshee, etc.), they often have good pictures of monsters and things in the games. A good size is 250 pixels at least if it's to appear in an infobox, while thumbnails and gallery pics can be smaller, but a slightly larger image is usually fine to give a better view to those who click on it. We try to avoid higher-resolution pics of artwork, but this isn't a problem for game images, as the screenshots are often freely available on the web and game designers like them to be seen in high-res.

Another issue is duplication. Monsters in games are often just slight reskins of other monsters, or different strength monsters of the same type look identical. For example, compare Image:NwN Earth Elemental.jpg and Image:NwN Earth Elemental Elder.jpg: they're exactly the same except one has some fire in its belly. The earth elemental page really only needs one good pic from NWN and one good pic from BG, rather than for every size elemental.

Finally, consider if we really need the image. If we don't have the article or lore for it, then uploading the image may be a bit premature if someone makes the article later and uploads an identical image. Also, game images, particularly if they're limited to small and blurry, often don't tell us an awful lot about the creature. One clear image tells a thousand words, but a lot of murky images don't.

I hope that helps. We appreciate your enthusiasm for this. :)


 * Hay ^^! hihiih but it was fun I have so many ^^! Yes I'll try and get more light images but in BG and the likes the "lights" can sometimes be hard to manipulate usually it invalves trying to get monsters to run into a well light area.. I'll start looking through whom needs to get improved... Hmm and when it comes to the resolution the game has bigger resolutions that are not supported but they are a option so I have been on the fens about these. I Know one site and a deviant art account that have them in grate and light condition and some are even in animated .gif bug again i don't know about the copyright of images that seam to be taken from the game files of games like BG.
 * Hmm Ok I'll see about getting the better pics but is that then 1 for BG and one for BGII? If there is one for all the BG games then Id rather take one from the BG:EE Version (The BG:EE versions are always going to be getter then any other BG images unless there is a BG:EE:II). Should we remove the bad once then?


 * Also about the older game images from the Pool of radience to Azure bonds and Pools of darkness there really small aswell (Exept the images of people that are the size of the fire giant "dialog" image. They are basically dialog icons). when it comes to these there is always light and you can clearly see them but there small The Fire giant Battle vision or bulette battle vision (I hated that i cant seam to get the dialog image for the bulette dont even know if they have one).


 * Thank you ^^! I have been gathering for sometime ^^! (And I continue to gather more :D I'll probebly get NWN2 soon and I'll get even more game editor images from there) And before i forget there are more images from neverwinter that are the "Character Images" I havent gatherd these yet and allot of them can be found in the NWN wiki but i dont think they have them all... should i gather these as well? There really really nice ^^! A example is http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gntfrost.jpg Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  09:51, June 15, 2013 (UTC)
