An Introduction To Heraldry for Larps and Rpgs
 |
Everyone loves to have that cool shield or banner. The one that looks awesome on the field and shows off their colors or those of their kingdom¸ household or fighting company.
You know¸ the one that makes the folks on the other side go "Oh crap¸ 'So and So' is here!”
But how do you do that? Well¸ you could just make something up. But what does it mean? Going this route most people end up with something black and red¸ or purple. It's muddy¸ it's like a thousand other heraldries out there. So how do you make something that stands out? As Someone who's studied heraldry all my life I decided to write this little introduction to help people out. it's not tied to any system or setting¸ just meant to be a useful tool for western based fantasy rpgs and larps¸ I hope you find it useful.
