Open Submissions Deadline for FO! #13 is August 28

[calithena]

Midnight Sunday. Looking forward to seeing what people come up with! Issue 13 is dedicated to Ken St. Andre, so while all the usual fiendish stuff is very welcome, contributions for T&T, Monsters! Monsters!, and BRP/GORE with an Elric twist are all very welcome.

Feel free to post your plans or questions here!

[jensen]

I've been lucky enough to get a chance to collaborate with a highly talented individual (who's been playing Tunnel & Trolls since forever, it would seem), and hopefully this should lead to some T&T comic strips for issue #13.

[calithena]

Great to hear it!

What other stuff are people thinking about submitting? T&T is welcome, but all the usual stuff is more than welcome as well.

[andreasdavour]

I'm slowly compiling some odds and ends about Trollworld and T&T house rules and maybe some items and beasts.

Maybe I can scrounge up some Stormbringer love as well. It used to be my go to game, after all.

[kelvingreen]

Jonathan and I are still kicking around a script, but there should be more Doxy for #13.

[makofan]

I am targeting Darkness Beneath Level 11

[moonlapse vertigo]

I've got a follow-up area for Deep Caverns, but it's only a few pages.

[Deleted]

I'm working on a little T&T thing with some NPCs and monsters. I'm not quite sure how to classify it, exactly. It's more of a thumbnail sketch of a setting than anything else. I think

[calithena]

All this stuff sounds pretty cool.

What else do people have in the works?

[jasmith]

I'm working on a mini-sandbox. Map, hex-key and random tables. 4-6 pages. I can keep it down to 4 if space is an issue.

[kent]

What format do you expect material in? Textfile or pdf; Separate maps or image png/pdf or integrated in the file?

If I wrote something in Latex with well laid out tables would your editor cut and paste this into a MS Word document with its poor table layout?

What length do you advise for different kinds of article?

Im guessing you have discussed this elsewhere so a link might do.

[calithena]

James - write it to whatever length it needs. We are good with the scissors around here if need be.

Kent - if you need complete control over formatting then I would suggest you just go LaTex to PDF and send us the PDF. We may come back to you and ask you to add page numbers in, etc. if you go that way.

It's easy to work with word/rtf and jpegs but we can take a variety of formats. Love to see your stuff!

[calithena]

I like most articles to be 10 pages or less but we have broken those limits for really good/interesting things, usually adventures or mini-campaign settings. But if you have a totally awesome longer article, send it - you never know!

[kent]

That's pretty flexible.

The current deadline is too soon for me so I'll keep my eye out for a Submissions for FO! #14 thread and hope to send in something for you to appraise for that.

[calithena]

Submissions come in off and on regularly. The 'deadlines' are really rough dates when we start seeing what we have to make the next issue. Then I try to find people to fill in 'gaps' in the content, and write some stuff myself to spec to finish up. If everything goes well with this issue it will be out early Oct, in which case the next submission deadline will be early Nov.

[bert]

Am doing a Stormbringer 1st ed/D&D mini adventure.

[calithena]

Great news, Bert! We'll look out for it.

[jensen]

The T&T comic strips were sent scant minutes ago.

EDIT: Oh hey, 100 posts! Neat.

[calithena]

Got em! Now I will check those out - thanks!

[kelvingreen]

We've sort of done Doxy backwards this time, and I've drawn it in rough, sent it to Jonathan for approval and script editing, then he'll pass it back for me to draw properly.

[kent]

I must be blind. Where does one eventually send say a pdf to? More immediately what about questions or specific guidance about content and so forth, is there a Fight On! email address, a red cable hotlink to the editor?

[calithena]

iggyumlaut at that google mail thingie the kids are using these days. We'll look forward to hearing from you, Kent!

(And, the web guy is here to get a submissions link up on the fight on magazine page...soon, soon...)

[bert]

I think I used that one to send my adventure thing... a submissions button would be hander, yes.

[andreasdavour]

A few shorter submissions sent, houserules some magic items and a scenario seed. More to come if I can find the time.

[calithena]

Thanks guys!

This is shaping up to be a great issue. I will start posting art requests and the like ASAP.

[kelvingreen]

I have the script for Doxy back from Jonathan, and I hope to make a start on drawing it this week.

[calithena]

Cool, send it when it's ready!

[kelvingreen]

Doxy is done as of this morning. I've sent it to Jonathan for final approval, then it'll be on its way to you.
