<font size="2">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.
<br /></font><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br />So, one of the projects I
have though about doing, is creating a "Populace" section on the
Namron website (with the Vscribe's blessing of course) that lists the members
of the Barony, along with their device and maybe a picture.<span style=""> </span>Other things could be added such as a short
description 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.<o:p /></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br />
<br />What do you guys think?<span style=""> </span>Would you be interested in doing this?<span style=""> </span>For it to work, people would have to get me a
copy of their device that I could scan in (I am in no way an artist, and have
problems drawing stick figures).</span>
