Shadow Over Rhudaur Planning Thread

[Rian]

One more post (I've posted a lot!) - I'm having trouble finding pics for avvys for my characters - what do you guys do? What's a good search string to find pictures/drawings?

[Gordis]

Better ask Elfhild-Nienna - she is the best picture expert here, I think

What I normally do, it to open "google pictures" and type in something like "young knight" or "serving maid" or whatever.

(This is Rian speaking) - I'd like to run an idea by you people - I'd like to suggest that everyone use the personal text area in the user's profile to put a very brief description of the character, and then who owns it in parenthesis (see how I did it with Caelen). I think that would be very helpful. What do you guys think?

Great idea. I am all for it!

[Caelen]

(Rian speaking):
Great! I think it will be very helpful, especially for newbies and, er, certain oldies who haven't been able to post much lately ...

Here's a Caelen post again to show what I did in the "personal text" area under the picture. Is that format ok with you people, or do you have any other ideas?

ok, thanks - those are good terms that I hadn't thought of.

Here are some links with photos and artwork. Not every picture is medieval themed, though, so you have to search around.

Hope these help. Another good search term is medieval costumes.

Elfhild, thanks for contributing this. I know that you have been collecting graphics links for a long time.

Went to the doctor yesterday and my cold has turned into bronchitis. I left his office with a perscription for more pills. When I start to feel better, I will post again. I hate colds.

[Gordis]

Great links, Elfhild! Yoy are decidedly the best picture-hunter here.

I hope you get better soon, Angmar. Bronchitis is a nasty thing...

[Serenoli]

Wow, good list, Elfhild!

Angmar, I really hope you get well soon! Bronchitis... it just sounds so horrible...

[Rian]

Feel better soon, Angmar!

[Witch-king of Angmar]

Thanks everybody. Sometimes bronchitis is slow to get over.
