This is what comes of writing press releases when I'm half asleep! :) The Con will be Saturday 28th August. Richard

Hello! Another quick update. It looks like we now have a function room booked - I'm just waiting for the written confirmation now. More details as soon as I get it, but this Con is now, definately, ON!!! A few slight schedule changes; it'll now run from noon - eight instead of noon-ten, but...

Great! Keep spreading the word, folks. I've got sixteen people so far, from various places. If you want to run a game, let me know so I can start pencilling in what's on offer - we've got a few bits and pieces already. One thing I'm planning also is to set up a boardgame table if I can, and run...

Hello all! Here I was, looking at the state of summer conventions in London. A rather sorry state, at the moment. So, I was wondering – would there be any interest in a small, friendly Con in West London, around the end of August, probably the 28th? It’d be free, run in the function room of a...

Hello! I'm getting a Hackmaster campaign together in London, and am looking for more players! We'll be playing unsanction in Richmond on alternate Saturday afternoons - if you're interested, get in touch at methuslah@yahoo.co.uk Richard

Hello, everyone! I’m currently running a campaign in London, and we’re on a recruiting drive for more players! Plenty of slots open – so all welcome. The first campaign takes place on Saturdays, and is actually two campaigns! We run OD&D on alternate Saturdays, and are running a series of...

Hello, everyone! I’m currently running a couple of campaigns in London, and we’re on a recruiting drive for more players! Plenty of slots open – so all welcome. The first campaign takes place on Saturdays, and is actually two campaigns! We run OD&D on alternate Saturdays, and are running a...

Well, we've got a couple of players but are still looking for more! Anyone interested?

The USS Gagarin is looking for new recruits, before it sets out on its final three-year mission of galactic exploration. The finest Starfleet officers are wanted (those presently living in London, England, who are free alternate Sundays starting from noon). I'm looking for players for a new LUG...

Transfinite Publication’s second magazine, Lemurian Dreams, is out at last! Each issue will contain a selection of fantasy short stories, complete with author’s notes that allow easy use of the stories with a role-playing campaign. Our first issue includes, ‘The Isle’ by James John Gregoire...

Almanac Two is finally here, available on the Transfinite Publications website (http://www.transfinitepublications.com) for just $3!! This issue looks at the theme of ‘The Apocalypse’, with a series of articles examining various aspects of the end of the world, from the Black Death to the...

I've been having some rather major problems with spam lately - its possible your email was deleted by mistake - could you resend, please? My apologies, Richard Tongue

I agree 100% about the need for a gimmick, making the pay-PDF's distinct, and I have tried to use this concept with the other magazines I will be producing. Lemurian Dreams, for example - a fantasy fiction magazine, but including notes for D&D campaigns. Royal Griffon - an adventure module, but...

Yes - 1530 EST.

I believe that a quality product will sell - it will take time, I admit, but it will. Breakeven isn't very high for Almanac, and I think the readership is there. If it sells as well as a fair PDF product it will work. What is your opinion of Almanac One, BTW? I'm more optimistic about the other...

Could you, or anyone else, recommend a good IRC room? I confess to a lack of experience in this area - I'm using the Yahoo! one because I've used them before, but a better one would be welcome. I do have another one avaliable, but the Yahoo one is better (which indicates how useless the other...

At 2030 GMT tomorrow (Sunday 12th), the Editor of Almanac (me!) will be holding a discussion on the chat room of Transfinite Publications (which can be accessed through the Yahoo! Group - address given at the end). The theme will be .'The future of PDF magazines' . See you there! (At...

My top three (in no particular order): Splintered Peace (Atlas Games) - An excellent campaign set in a well-developed city, something that can be used over and over again. Necropolis (Necromancer Games) - It's a dungeon crawl. A massive, 300-page dungeon crawl, written by Gygax himself. How...

Actually, only one of the articles is mine, the other is written by James Carter. I took two sample pages, one from each article. I've now updated the sample (and for good measure, I changed the second page to the start of another article) The cover was a large file; I wanted to keep the sample...

Well, each magazine covers a seperate niche in the market, so I don't think they are competing with each other. Lemurian Dreams, I think, has potential in that it should appeal to two markets, albeit related ones - the RPG market and the fantasy fiction market. We have some excellent material...
