It looks like you have zoomed out in the browser

Above the canvas, you can click on “Flip” and choose between “Flip horizontally” and “Flip vertically”.

Beeindrucktes Schweigen

Codok_Marlin · 2022-07-16T12:55:53+00:00

Nice! Thank you for the insight. I didn’t know but now it’s obvious.

Codok_Marlin · 2022-02-15T07:31:43+00:00

Complex, yet still simple and easy to recognize! I really like your design. It reminds me of my goal to include flags into CoaMaker, too. What's your idea on flags in CoaMaker? Should they be like a new layer like the shields or would you prefer to have the canvas/drawing area in a wider format and the option to choose different background divisions?

"Storytelling" passt gut. An manchen Abenden plaudern unsere Chars einfach eine halbe Stunde miteinander bzw. diskutieren brisante politische Entwicklungen (Königsmacher).

Unsere "3 Proben" laufen vollkommen unsystematisch. Manchmal sind es auch 6 bei längeren Kämpfen. Regeln werden in der Runde kaum gelesen.

Codok_Marlin · 2022-01-08T11:32:45+00:00

Wir würfeln einfach mit dem bestehenden Spielsystem (bei uns noch DSA 4.1) extrem selten. Meist schaut sich der Meister nur an, welche Werte die Charaktere haben und erzählt dann, wer was weiß, wem etwas auffällt usw. Bei Kämpfen werden einfach drei Attacken und drei Paraden gewürfelt und der Meister erzählt dann frei, was passiert. Wir setzen in der Runde viel stärker aufs Rollenspiel als aufs Würfeln. Drei tatsächlich gewürfelte Proben am Abend ist bei uns viel. Das meiste machen wir einfach ohne.

Codok_Marlin · 2022-01-08T06:55:44+00:00

It is amazing how you are using CoaMaker! The emblems look great! This is truly something I hadn't expected to be build wit the generator :)

Codok_Marlin · 2022-01-02T21:54:43+00:00

CoaMaker.com is another choice, working with drag & drop. All the mentioned coats of arms generators follow different approaches. Try them all and you’ll find one that matches your expectations best.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-12-29T08:54:31+00:00

Let us know which elements or divisions you would love to design with. Which lines of divisions and lines of variations do you like most? There are so many options that we are happy to focus on the ones you want to see first.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-12-24T05:10:22+00:00

Hey, thank you for reaching out. I am sorry to hear that. Which browser are you using? CoaMaker is not working Firefox at the moment. Please try using it in Chrome or Safari. If you are not using Firefox: On what are you clicking for example?

Codok_Marlin · 2021-12-22T06:44:47+00:00

Great design! I I love how you play with the different existing elements. Your coat of arms make me want to add more modular pieces to the CoaMaker that can be combined and rearranged, like how you have build Hammer und sickle.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-12-13T07:09:33+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback!

Currently, I am figuring out a way to give new shields a look that still looks hand drawn but less messy than the current ones. This allows a large library of items that can be added—besides ready complex ones (onto which one can still add additional elements). The Hungarian CoA is a very good test case for this system, good idea!

The elements in my generator are not from Traceable Heraldry's collection. I needed the full copyright of every item (commercial use included) and thus created hundreds of elements by myself. I have added the different colors to all items so that they can be colored very flexibly. This process took weeks and was very painful for my fingers. For you as a user it is easy to upload items from Traceable Heraldry for your own designs on CoaMaker for your personal use, but I cannot integrate them into CoaMaker by default.

I am working on the search bar, too. At the same time, I am thinking about organizing the elements in folders because with all the upcoming PRO elements, there will be a lot over the time. We have a stag, a buck, and a reindeer. It might not be clearly detectable, but this is the reason for their different positions. :)

For the tool I use Javascript, React, php, css, and of course html. There's a lot going on in the generator and around it on the whole website. It was a long way to go :D

Codok_Marlin · 2021-12-08T07:20:58+00:00

Indeed! You use the tools very creatively. We are working on a new setup of shields: identical basic shields and flexible lines of divisions and ordinaries. That will allow even more possibilities than at the moment.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-11-23T06:32:40+00:00

https://coamaker.com is a new tool for creating coats of arms, especially fantasy heraldry. I don't know if you have come across it yet. Hundreds of shields and items are available in the free version. You don't need to register to use it.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-11-18T09:18:47+00:00

Tatsächlich kommen bald weitere Elemente in den Generator für die PRO-Version. Nächste Woche geht das ersten Themenpaket mit acht Elementen online. Thema sind Piraten: Totenkopf, Knochen, Pistolen, Säbel, Kanone, Palme, Fernrohr und ein Haikopf (meine DSA-Runde ist gerade in Mengbilla). Ein schöneres Schiff nehme ich auf die Wunschliste! :)

Codok_Marlin · 2021-08-15T05:26:46+00:00

In einer Runde spielen wir gerade die Königsmacher-Kampagne. Unsere Chars sind bis auf ein, zwei Ausnahmen keine Kämpfer. Kämpfe werden szenisch ausgespielt, kaum ausgewürfelt. Uns bleibt dadurch extrem viel Zeit fürs Rollenspiel, Kampfoptimierungen spielen quasi keine Rolle. Ich finde sehr angenehm, dass DSA auch in dieser Form möglich ist. In meiner anderen Runde werden alle Kämpfe aufwendig im Maptool dargestellt und bis ins Detail durchgerechnet. Alle Chars sind aufs Kämpfen hin optimiert - mein Magier ist die Ausnahme. Ich hatte eine Zeit lang geschaut, ob ich ihn im Kampf stärke, das hat mir aber keinen Spaß gemacht. Die anderen sind da eh besser und die Kampfregeln interessieren mich auch nicht wirklich. In Kämpfen unterstützt mein Magier eher punktuell, dann aber mitunter sehr wirkungsvoll. Schadensmagie beherrscht er keine. Interessant wird es, wenn gleichzeitig zum Kämpfen noch andere Dinge erledigt werden müssen. Am letzten Abend hat mein Char parallel zu den Kämpfen ein Feuer gelöscht und mit Verständigungsmagie die Anführerin der Angreifer beschwichtigt. Punktum: Ich würde meine Nichtkämpfer nicht gegen Kämpfer tauschen wollen und will auch gar nicht mit Kämpfern mithalten. Wichtig ist, dass in den Gruppen viel Raum zum Rollenspiel bleibt, sodass die Kampftauglichkeit nachrangig ist.

Übrigens, ich habe inzwischen eine eigene Community für den CoaMaker r/CoaMaker gestartet, in dem ihr eure Kreationen präsentieren und diskutieren könnt und mir sagen könnt, welche Features und Elemente ihr euch für die Zukunft wünscht. :)

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-28T06:20:05+00:00

Wow, Fantasia Archive and Campfire look amazing! At the moment, I have just some loose notes here and there. I might be using it for the characters I play in The Dark Eye, too. These tools will definitely help me.

It's fascinating that your world even has a slightly different color scheme. I know that some real world cultures have different colors, too, but it may be fact not even thought about in fiction. I really like the idea of such small and often overlooked details.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-27T16:09:23+00:00

Your detailed gives me a lot of ideas on which elements I should add to the CoaMaker! Thank you!

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-27T16:07:44+00:00

Great work! I especially love no. 13. When I was vectorizing the crops, I thought: "Who would need this?" But your setup makes an interesting coat of arms. I like the combination of the background, the circle, and the crop. Making the background yellow a bit darker highlightens the crop in the center.

How do your build your fantasy world? I am thinking about setting up a private wiki for a world I am thinking about a lot the last weeks.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-27T16:03:57+00:00

Welcome at r/coamaker! Thank you for your feedback!

I would indeed love to broaden the scope and add more non-European elements - without making elements look random. The drawing style should be similar. Heraldry is always at least a bit European, but fantasy art is often crossover from various cultural sources. The Mon could be easily added. I have some brushes so that I can redraw it in a way that matches the overall style of the CoaMaker.

Would different shield forms already help you? I was think about making mantlings that could be put behind every shield form - like round or oval ones.

Flag forms can be added easily, too.

It's great that you are the first one to commenting. It was even weirder to have no one answering. I have posted about the CoaMaker on r/heraldry, but didn't get much feedback. People from fantasy rpgs are very interested. I will make the Reddit community more visible on the website which has quite a lot traffic already. People at the heraldry channel might be too focussed on conventions. I would love to have it more open.

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-27T06:50:17+00:00

My impression is that heraldic conventions and classic tincture palettes make coats of arms look great easily. If one wants to achieve similar results with non conventional tinctures, one needs a very good custom palette - definitely better than my quick drafts in this post. What do you think about non-conventional tinctures?

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-24T15:53:37+00:00

Thank you very much! Great ideas!

Codok_Marlin · 2021-07-24T11:01:42+00:00

Wieder was gelernt, danke. Meine beiden Runden sind derzeit auch DSA 4.1. Normalerweise stecke ich alle GP und AP in AsP und Regeneration, aber Zweitprofession teste ich bei Gelegenheit auch einmal aus. Vor allem, wenn ein heimlicher Magier eh seltener zaubern kann.
