I designed Almanac specifically to be printer-friendly, with the artwork picked to be light on ink, and no draining borders. In addition, each article has its own pages - so you won't print half of an article that isn't wanted. There are five reviews in Almanac One, totaling three pages of the...

I did consider releasing Issue One for free, but decided against it. I have prepared 'Issue Zero' of Lemurian Dreams and Concept Horizons, which will be released for free next month - these basically just have one article in them that is a sample of the material in the magazine (but is unique...

I do, but I was waiting for the launch of Issue 2. Still, here are the planned rates... For Six issues - $13 For Twelve issues - $24 For Twenty-Four issues - $40 These issues can be spread across our whole range - which will include five titles by December (one still TBA). Back issues can be...

Actually, I was the reviewer for those pieces. I bought the books personally.

As I speak, a copy is winging its way across cyberspace to you. Let me know what you think.

Actually, it's $3. Where did you see that - I need to update wherever it was. (Incidentally Mark - I just looked at you 'title' - three of your products are reviewed in Almanac One!)

That is true. I'm running it with OD&DITIES (any OD&DITIES readers here?) as a baseline - but have improved the 'look' of the magazine, primarily with artwork - we've got some great art in this issue. This is one of the advantages of a pay magazine - you can really go to town on artwork, and I...

Link fixed!

A demo of Almanac has now been posted, so that you can take a look before you buy! The demo is at the following URL: http://www.tongue.fsnet.co.uk/A1Sample.pdf Edit: Darn Capital Letters!

OK - I have now posted a short demo of Almanac One, consisting of the Editorial, Contents page, and a few sample pages, featuring some artwork. It is avaliable at this URL: http://www.tongue.fsnet.co.uk/A1Sample.pdf Opinions welcome.

Well, if you want an example of the layout, you can take a look at OD&DITIES - it is very similar in many ways (although Almanac has much more artwork). What would you want to see in a demo?

Don't get me wrong - I know that fanzines can have a very high quality of material. As for true distinctiveness, its far easier to speak of ditinctiveness when I talk of the other pay-PF mags we have coming up. Lemurian Dreams, launching on August 1st, will be a bimonthy fantasy fiction...

Well, as far as distinctive features go: It is lavishly illustrated, by some excellent artists, submissions are paid for, which means (IMHO) that we get a very high quality of writing. It is a monthly magazine, out every month on the first - totally regular, which very few zines are. (As a...

Ok - I've fixed the link. I made an error when I was coding it into the text - its working fine now.

I'm writing this to hear people's thoughts on the new pay-PDF magazine, Almanac. It launched on Tuesday, and so far has recieved some excellent reviews (one avaliable at: http://www.tongue.fsnet.co.uk/alrev.html), and I am interested in people's thoughts on various aspects of the magazine. Is a...

This review was sent directly to me by Marc H. Wyman this afternoon. As it is the first review of Almanac One, I thought it might be of interest to those who have been waiting for reviews before buying... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

I've been looking forward to Blackmoor D20 ever since I heard about it - and what I've seen about the Wilderlands camapign being produced by Necromancer Games looks great too. What can I say, I'm a sucker for the oldies.

As some of you know, Almanac Magazine is a regular, monthly pay-PDF magazine covering Fantasy Roleplaying, and each issue has a specific theme. I’m planning rather a long way ahead at the moment – these are the planned themes for future issues: Issue 2: The Apocalypse Issue 3: War! Issue 4...

Well, a lot would depend on the relative power levels of the legion and the empire - is this a Spanish Conquistadors vs. Aztecs situation? If it is even, then I suspect your group would try to sneak through the Empire, avoiding open confrontation - you PCs could then scout ahead looking for...

So far, I think the Ooze campaign is winning hands down - but I must say that the group with the minotaur and the pixie runs a close second! I just remembered another very short campaign I once ran, back in uni. All of the players were somewhat odd - though I think the worst one was the priest...
