MEDIEVAL & HIGH FANTASY RESOURCES


FLAGSTONES is a resource community for medieval and high-fantasy roleplayers.

Posts here can more or less have anything to do with roleplay within the medieval and medieval fantasy genres so long as they follow a few simple guidelines. I'd like this to be an active resource for those of us more interested in historical roleplay whether it is reality based, fantasy, fandom, or modeled after the style of Dungeons & Dragons.

1. Be polite. This is most important of all because we're here to have fun and to do that we need to all get along. Please treat others as you would like to be treated even if their views do not coincide with your own.

2. Ads, as well as PSL and storyline requests may be posted here so long as they fit within the medieval or medieval fantasy guidelines. No modern day city or town, no celeb games, no Victorian or steampunk games. Fandom games are fine so long as they take place within the medieval era, and panfandoms are alright so long as the are also set within the medieval fantasy genre and only contain those elements. There are plenty of ad communities for other kinds of games, so if your ad doesn't meet these criteria please don't post them here.

3. Ads should not contain large graphics unless they are under a cut. Please feel free to leave a link to your game and a brief description with information, but if you have large graphics please make sure they are under a cut-tag to save those of us with slow connections the long loading time.

4. Resources, icons, background patterns etc. are all welcome here so long as they meet the medieval and fantasy criteria and are properly credited to their original creators. If you're not sure how to credit a resource, providing a link to the original post or citing the article or book you found the information in will suffice.

5. Please try and use tags. If a tag has already been used for something please try and use that same tag, however if you are posting something and you feel none of the tags already used fit please just tag the entry as 'other' and a moderator will attempt to give it a more appropriate tag as soon as possible.

Other than that let's all have fun!

Background patterns.

One of my favorite things to do when creating a character is setting up their journal in a way I feel reflects their personality or their general character theme. This can be incredibly difficult when it comes to medieval and fantasy characters because obviously they wouldn't have an online diary via the internet. However inaccurate the medium might be, one way to give a journal the appropriate 'feel' is to use a background pattern which reflects the era the character is from.

The following is a link to over 200 background patterns I have collected from various sources all which are either historical in design or at least reflect a medieval or fantasy theme. Some of these are intended to be very tongue in cheek, but others are more accurate. I didn't make any of these backgrounds, and credit to their original creators or sources are given within the album names and descriptions.

If there are any backgrounds that are not included here that you have made or know about and would like to contribute or see posted please feel free to send me a link!
