Announcing WoW Tabards

You may have noticed that I have a small problem with web sites: I seem to be addicted to creating them.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve spent some spare minutes here and there working on a little project called WoW Tabards. As you might expect, WoW Tabards is a visual database of the tabards that you can collect in World of Warcraft. For example, you can see all the tabards from the WoW Trading Card Game or all the Argent Tournament tabards.

You can also create an account and use the site to track your tabard collections on one or more characters. I find this especially useful since there’s no in-game tabard panel (yet) and I’d otherwise have to go digging through my bank every time I wanted to see what I already have. (I have 26 tabards at the moment.)

Now I know there are already sites that let you track your tabard collection — I’m thinking primarily of WoW Collect — but since I prefer Warcraft Pets for my mini-pets and Warcraft Mounts (of course!) for my mounts, I really only needed tabards.

And anyway, once I get an image in my head of what I want, I can’t shake it. And I am moderately proud of the look and feel of WoW Tabards — I think the very simple color layout and color scheme really brings out the colors of the tabards themselves.

(Now if I could just make Warcraft Mounts pretty … )

    Brilliant! Thanks for always supporting the WoW community and individuals that play a bit differently. You rock!

    Very nice collection. One thing though, your Tabard of the Argent Crusade and Tabard of the Ebon Blade ‘notes’ are mixed up I believe.

    Excellent catch, Zylgore! I had them reversed. I’m just glad you saw it before any representatives of either group did … *grin*

    I love this site! I plan on tracking all my tabards soon!

    But I dont have as many as Mania,or anyone else,really…since I had to sell most of my tabards recently…I needed the bank space! /sad face

    The only tabards I have now are my guild tabard,and the new Eplorer tabard you get with the exploration of Northrend. But I plan on re-acquiring all my tabards again
    soon. Overall,just an awesome site! Thank you Mania!

    I often type ‘Explorer’ as ‘Exploder’ myself — which gives the achievement a whole new meaning …

    Brava! I love it.

    Thanks for pointing me to Warcraft Mounts too, I was half-looking for something to track my mounts like Warcraft Pets, but wasn’t sure one existed. Suppose I could have googled….
