Update!

[calithena]

You know, it is some work laying out a fanzine! Ig tells me that articles by Alex Schroder, Zenopus, and myself have already been laid out though. Much more to come but things are moving along!

[roaktheunknowable]

Awesome! I can’t wait to see it. 😊

Fighton! did a book of tables. Is it available?

[calithena]

The Book of Tables, unfortunately, kind of didn't work out. The contest was fun and everyone got paid, but the table collection itself wound up being kind of random and disjointed and didn't ever cohere, even though there was some fantastic stuff in it. It's something we might look at bringing back or finishing up after Darkness Beneath though, we'll see!

[calithena]

Maybe we should just start putting some of them in the 'zine!

[Deleted]

Just Roll the Bones, so to speak!

[calithena]

Hey folks!

It's slowed down slightly because I've been busy at my day job and with family stuff, but never fear! Layout is continuing and there is more good stuff coming in! Expect more updates and requests soon!

[calithena]

(in other words, about to speed back up!)

Just want to let people know that #15 is still in process.

There are good articles for most of the issue. The main thing we're still trying to nail down is the adventures. We have a lot of good ones, but some of the best are really "nonstandard" in various ways, and we'd like a good old dungeon crawl; also, there's a question about whether we can trim Alex's DB level down enough to fit it in the issue, or if we need to give that a special presentation. There are a lot of awesome art and articles going on and the issue as a whole is going to rock; hoping to make these decisions this week if we can and then send out a final round of art requests to the artists.

Fight on!

[calithena]

If nothing else comes up maybe I'll write a quick dungeon crawl myself. I hate to put too much of my own stuff in any given issue though.

I'm exceptionally busy at present, but if it might be a help, I could get a description of the tone and length of the piece you want and see if anyone on OSR Reddit is interested.

I can potentially pull together one of my Castle Greyhawk levels, but probably not for another few weeks (until after NTX RPGCon).

Grodog - please, if it is too late for this issue I'm sure we could use it in the next. Sounds aweseome!

Megatapirus - glad to have you here! The ideal adventure would be 5 or fewer pages, dungeon or similar, some meat and interesting challenge to it, old school feel, straight or gonzified - just something cool and fun that would appeal to Fight On! readers. We can work with sketchy drafts if there's a good idea. If people go to the trouble to write them this kind of thing probably will have a place in just about every issue, so we can publish sooner or later. Thanks!

Great! I passed this info on to r/osr.

I've been kicking around a "Tower of Sorcery" mini-dungeon idea for high level adventurers - probably one page for the map, and three pages for the adventure, if that floats your boat. If so, what is your timeline for getting it?

[calithena]

Mako - this sounds great - deadline is ASAP - there will be more issues though. I'll look at this again later in the week. Ig and I have been putting off making decisions about this but we'll figure it out this week.

[makofan]

Let me see how far I get in next two days; I should know by bedtime on Wednesday whether it will get done or not

[makofan]

I looked at my schedule honestly and it would be unwise to try to rush something out for this issue, so I will change my mind on getting that adventure done

[calithena]

OK. If things drag on I will bug you again though, and we'd love to see it for next one in any case!

[calithena]

Hey I just want to let people know that we are still expecting to get the issue out this summer, hopefully this month, certainly before the end of July. Things come up but more art has come in and progress is still being made. More soon!

Looking forward to picking up a copy of #15!

Henry and I Recovered from COVID caught at NTX, but now Heather's got it (and we're trying to keep it away from Ethan...).

Nothing done on anything from my end yet....

[calithena]

No worries, mako and gro! Send them when they're ready!
