    I have tried several browsers, but I can't get any to work with the blazon software available via my profile at shroudoftheavatar.com. Can anyone recommend some easy to use software for someone who is not talented in the arts? As a new player, I would love to make mine. I tried Googling, but nothing I found was what I wanted.

    I did do a video about this which may help you use the blazon generator.




    In addition a lot of folks said they used Gimp to make the transparent backgrounds that you will want if you find an image you want to manipulate etc.

    You can also google something like "tools for making transparent gifs" etc and find some tools that way.

    Hope this helps

    I appreciate the video, but that's the problem. None of those buttons are available to drag and drop stuff to the area where you build the image. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with Chrome, but Edge didn't work either.

    Weird Id have thought it woulda worked in either of those 2. Works fine for me in Opera. Maybe its something it uses that needs an update.

    personally i was recommended a program called inkscape and used it to make a 256x256 png file
    Had never used the program before so took sometime to learn it and as my goal was some simply geometric figures.

    You click the ordinaires & charges to add them to the blazon. I've just reported this in The Official Website & Forum Bug List thread, it does work in Firefox, though somethings obviously broke as it used to work before in Chome, Edge & IE11 too.

    Mozilla Firefox works. Thanks for that tip.
