[Namron] Devices and AoAs?

[Donnchadh]

The biggest problem with the O&A is that you have to understand the blazons.  This can be difficult even for those of us who have been subjected to Barat's flash cards.

So, one of the projects Ihave though about doing, is creating a "Populace" section on theNamron website (with the Vscribe's blessing of course) that lists the membersof the Barony, along with their device and maybe a picture.  Other things could be added such as a shortdescription of their persona history etc.  This would be another way for someone to be able to put a face with a name and a device.

What do you guys think?  Would you be interested in doing this?  For it to work, people would have to get me acopy of their device that I could scan in (I am in no way an artist, and haveproblems drawing stick figures).
