Fight On #4

[Alex Schroeder]

I check the group every day, waiting for a thread like this.

I am soooo looking forward to the next issue!

I am trying. If everything goes well maybe next week I'll be able to order the proof copy. Sorry for the delay, and I am very much looking forward to posting such a thread!

Kensanata, you should be smote with Greater Cabers of Smiting+5 for getting my hopes up :-)

The funny thing is I'm STILL not through with issue #3. having been reading all of the Outdoor adventures with map in hand, like they are novels. Is the next issue is as good as this one, I may have to give up gaming, just to have time to read about gaming......

I'm in the same boat! I just finished "Inferno" despite having my copy of #3 for a few weeks. I figure if I plan this just right, I'll have it done just as #4 comes out.

[Melan]

Also reading Issue #3 (well, not continuously). Yeah, and I am making good progress on my contributions for the 5th issue - just finished one of them on a train ride from Vienna!

[Melan]

And my submission for #5 is in. Actually, it's two - a larger module and a shorter extra for context.

[calithena]

Awesome, Melan! #4 should be on lulu today, and then it's time to start on #5. Already have an awesome cover from Mr. Mayle and a bunch of good subs in the queue, actually...except we need more humor as usual.

[amityvillemike]

Are you still taking submissions for #5 and, if so, do you have a deadline in mind for them?

[calithena]

Yes, subs are still welcome for #5. I think the deadline is about a month from now. I will post a thread asking for subs actually in a little bit, but you don't have to wait for it.

We are pretty good on adventures for #5 though if you have something interesting that's bread and butter so there might be one more slot. Stuff we're especially looking for right now: a city article, spells, monsters, anything cool or weird, humor (where are all you comics guys? at this point it's practically instant publication for anything remotely funny...), world/how to DM stuff, really good short-short fiction (shorter than the story in #3, that got thrown in because we liked it and the issue was out of control anyway). Reviews! We need a couple reviews for #5.

But basically write what you like and that's probably what will make it the most fun for others.

You have a topic in mind for your short-short fiction? And how many words?

Melan, you're amazing. Issue #4 isn't even out, and you've already submitted your stuff for #5?

I plan to submit some monsters for #5, but I'm not ready to submit them yet.

[Melan]

Granted, it was originally planned for #4, but then I hit a horrible period of creative burnout and decided to wait it out rather than submit the adventure in a form I wouldn't like afterwards. So we could say it is actually late -- but still, better late than never. For #4, I submitted a short wilderness lair type thing I already had on my HD, and a list of 50 offbeat adventure ideas.

[makofan]

I am thinking maybe some sort of pulpy swords-and-sorcery story about 800 words long, give or take whatever your space requirements are

[calithena]

Makofan, that sounds like exactly the right precis. We'll look out for what you come up with.
