Thanks for the info everybody. I'm interested in either joining either the Lenfalds or outlaws at this point with Loreos still a possibility. My character's story (WIP) is that he washes up on shore as a rugged outlaw type of character with no memories at all of his previous life. After getting to view Rowia through a new perspective and instinctively saving an innocent man from dying (will be explained later) He believes it's a second chance and sets out on trying to help the weak and fight off evil in his own way, while also trying to discover as much about his secretive and unknown past as he can. But the few living people that know of his past might threaten to expose all of the dark and deadly skeletons in his closet. How does this sound? Does anybody have any tips on how best to introduce your character into the world of Rowia? With that kind of backstory (which I like), Outlaws seems like the way to go for you. They really need more active builders.

Is there a specific way in which we are suppose to title our free builds? It can be helpful to title the build something like this: LoR Freebuild/Outlaws: (Insert Build Title Here) However, this is not a requirement. The only thing you MUST do is include your faction's banner either in Lego or digitally added.

There's no particular way. I just generally title it "LoR - *build name here*" and then specify if it's a freebuild, guild build, etc in the description. But as AardWolf said, you have to have a banner with your faction colors or sigil(if you're using the ornate digital banners) in it, whether it be digital or LEGO or both.

You can download a program called GIMP (basically a free version of photoshop) www.gimp.org/1. Open GIMP 2. open your photo in GIMP 3. download one of the digital banners 4. open that banner as a layer in your photo 5. use the move tool to move it to where you like 6. save as whatever you want to title the photo 7. export the file in a format flickr can handle such as .jpg or .png If you have any questions just PM me.

So then... I figured out where the move is. However I am having the strangest problem. When I go to size my banners in GIMP, it doesn't turn out the way its supposed to. Here is what it looks like in GIMP: Gimp by SSchmidt--, on Flickr And here is what it ends up looking like when I upload to FLICKR. Lands of Roawia - GCX Bignette - The Town Crier by SSchmidt--, on Flickr What in the world am I doing wrong? I am so confused

Have you combined all the layers into one or are there multiple when you export the photo?

Ah ok, had no idea that the layers had to be merged. Just saw how to merge them all together and it fixed the problem. Thanks a bunch mate!

I have to ask, how loose is your guys's grip on the space time continuum? In other words, could my character (random example) wander the hills for a yearn the time it takes a totally unrelated character to be at sea for a month? To what extent could this stretching be carried? Thanks.

I've found the best way around those situations is to frame the story/event as a flashback
