OK...this is from the focus group on Sunday, where a group of about 10 of us started brainstorming about guild symbols and guild items.
We decided that having a few different items, each with the symbol on it would be the best so it would fit everyone.
The base items were: badge, armband, satchel, pin
If y'all can think of more please do, but we want to have a top three items so that it isn't too hard.
As for the base description, we didn't have much discussion...but here's a few things I've thought of:
a <chosen dye colored> guild <item>
EX: a forest green guild satchel
a vine shrouded guild <item>
EX: a vine shrouded guild sash
a compass rose etched/tooled guild <item>
EX: a compass rose tooled satchel
a <insert your profession title here e.g. huntmaster, guide, etc...> guild <item>
EX: a guide's guild badge
Now...for the show description, our moderator Elbrion and myself came up with two ideas:
Elbrion says, "Upon closer examination, the <item> is meticulously etched with a finely detailed silver compass. Each of the letters marking the cardinal directions is wrought of sparkling emerald and tooled to resemble twining vines of ivy. As you gaze at the compass's face, the tiny lodestone hands swing in seemingly patternless circles. "
You say, "Looking closer at the guild <item> you see a etched gold compass rose entangled by one long green veniom vine. The cardinal directions are inlaid in black enamel with a large N appearing at the top of the design. Inscribed below that in fine gold lettering is the name of the owner."
When read it would read:
<Insert your name here>, Ranger's guild member since <year>
EX: Revalos Lykanderon, Ranger's guild member since 5100
Now its your turn...just post whatever pops into your head...we're all brainstorming here. Come up with a new item, or a description, or a show. Elbrion is going to try and get a topic started on the boards specificly for this thread, so if that happens, start posting there instead. But this is to get the ball rolling.
