Well, the reforms have had time to settle in, and it is a brand new day in terms of the RPF and its ongoing vitality.

To celebrate this new individualism within the forum, it seemed only fitting to acquise to the myriad demands for a unique banner, to help the RPF stand out of its own.
All submissions are encouraged and welcomed. I'll be accepting submissions up until Tuesday, the 1st of July 2003. Until such a time, get cracking at making the best emobodiment of the Role Playing Worlds we have come to love so dearly.

Take into account the lesser lights, the key characters and races that embody the GFFA beyond the main characters: a great idea is to incorporate any fanart you may have of your RPG characters or worlds.
Make your banner the perfect manifestation of what the RPF is to you: distill the spirit of our group, whether it be the crew hanging out at Hooper McFinney's, the gang from WOTG or BoP, or the myriad other classical RPGs we can lay claim to.

For budding young banner designers, some quick information to consider:




Your banner will be required to incorporate the following elements:
- Main banner image (foreground) - 764 x 110
- Main Background image - 764 x 110
- Curve image - 69 x 69
- Side Bar image - 32 x 465
- Post Reply image - 437 x 88
- Left and Right adholders - 74 x 58

A great resource to examine as a guide for the banner making process, is the JC Banner makers thread found in Communications.

As per usual, the proper accolades will go to the successful banner designer, in terms of fancy colors and snazy titles.

I personally welcome the expertise and talent of anyone over the boards of course, but would love to see some of our own folk at least dig in and have a red hot go: insider knowledge to boot, you just never know how your design may fare.

Please submit all banners in single image or seperate image forms either in this thread, or via PM to me.

Lastly, but by no means least, a hearty big GOOD LUCK to you all.

I wish you only the most creative of sparks over the next month.


Locked due to redundancy.

I think the entire SW Universe would be appropriate since the RPF involves everything from the Sith/Jedi comic era to the NJO novel era.

Though we do have some non-SW RPGs here, I do not know if they would be appropriate to include in the banner.

Brother Mitth is correct.

With an EU emphasis, anything out there in the larger SW universe can be included as RPF source material. Any RPF specific images would obviously be self made by the characters who drew and created them, so we would be relying on their posting links for such inclusions.

And also, non-SW content is not appropriate for the banner, unless of course it is the aforementioned fanart of conceptualised drawings.

Here is what I am working on. It features the artwork of the Hildebrandt Brothers.

I'd really appreciate some comments, especially because I am not very familiar with this forum.
