General Flier / Help

Postby Shirker » Mon Nov 24, 2008 2:03 pm

I would try and create one myself, but I don't have Photoshop on my laptop and don't wish to use a pure MSPaint creation.

Does anyone already have, or could make a basic "fill-in-the-blank" type flier or layout that others can take, edit and distribute?

If not, could you post good catch phrases or descriptions of Belegarth, key points to hit, awesome pictures that could be used to grab people's attention?

I made a flyer for Dragon Con and I can't seem to find it but, if you add pictures advertise two things in it.

1. Members of the opposite sex play this game
2. A lot of people play at one time

For example if you use two pictures one should be a 50 vs 50 shield wall or something and the other should be two female fighters doing something.

Your flier shouldn't be much more then

Also make sure to call it Belegarth Medieval Combat Society. It sounds better then straight up Belegarth.

There are also several blank posters floating around in the more recent topics on this board.

Or just go to Cib's 'Introducing the "New Realm Starter Kit"!' It has blank posters in it, I believe.
Hawaii: Manoa
Washington: Gondor

There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.

What do you mean by flier Shirker? A 8.5x11" poster or a 1/4 page hand out? Color or greys? There are a few posters floating around here, some in the New Realm Starter Kit as Rasheab mentioned, those are also downloadable via the Strathclyde Resource Store, Magpie also just posted one: viewtopic.php?f=128&t=27506


Also, your you taking your persona name a bit to seriously? ;)

Eh, can't believe that. I just read through the Starter Kit page yesterday. Good deal.
Very good suggestions, thanks to all.

Yeah, just something that I can print out from home and put up around my school and random places to try and get some attention. Wouldn't have to be black and white, but my wallet would thank you if it were

That's the problem Cib, I don't take much seriously. Being lazy, being serious; i neglect them all :P

Here are the posters I created (color, grayscale/color, & grayscale) a few years ago, featuring Angmarth. They're for 8.5x11" size, but could probably go larger. If you want to use them, let me know and I can send them to you (the large, high res size) leaving the bottom portion blank or if you want I can fill it in with the information you want and send them. Just let me know.
