Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythusmage" data-source="post: 2647646" data-attributes="member: 571">A Little Dice MusicA net APA (Amateur Press Association) for roleplaying games published in PDF.Individual contributions can be up to 5,000 words. The deadline is 100,000 words or the first of the month prior to the month of publication. Art can be included, but reduce the maximum size of the contribution by 600 words for each full page of art. (This may change as I work things out.Format is a 72 point inner margin and 36 point outer, upper, and lower margins. Each page to include a header displaying page number plus either the apazine title (even numbered pages) or “A Little Dice Music” and issue month and number (odd numbered pages). Have more stuff to work out before I can present information on the size of art.A Little Dice Music will be a monthly publication available to the general public. Contributing is free and contributors get a free copy of the issue they contributed to, and the month after. Price for non-contributors will be $7.95.The minimum contribution is one page of material, about 600 words. (Maybe more, I have to look into that.) Short filler bits that add up to a page of material qualify as a contribution.Art is also needed. Cover art for certain. Interior art as well. Illustrations and incidental pieces for example. I would prefer black and white line art for covers and interior. Shading should be kept to a minimum. A Little Dice Music will include a table of contents, an introduction to the month’s theme, contributor and subscriber information, and contact information for yours truly plus the contributors..Each issue will have a theme. #1 (the December issue) will have a Christmas/Hannukkah/Winter Solstice/Winter Festival theme. The deadline is November 1st.Send your contribution in plain text. Not Mac text, Windows text, Unix text, or even Linux text, plain text. I will format (and may even edit or proof) your deathless prose, adding art and filler material as available and required to round your contribution out to an even number of pages.Religion and politics allowed, but no profanity. If you must insult another contributor try to do it with a little flair.A Little Dice Music is for writings on rpg theory and practice, variant rules, new classes/vocations/templates/etc., or interesting stuff you run across. A Little Dice Music is not for feuds, flame wars, pornography, or gibberish. Nota Bene: I will reject contributions so poorly written as to be unreadable, or with so many mistakes in spelling and/or grammar as to be incomprehensible. No l33t speak. Things to do include contacting RPGNow and E23 about making this thing available through them. (I’m reluctant to use DTRPG considering the whole DRM thing), and figuring out how many words can fit into a page.Finally, be sure to include special formatting instructions with your contribution. -b-  for bolding, -i- for italics, and -u- for underlining for example. Tables should be set off by a  -table- tag, while side bars and boxes are set off by -side bar- and -box- tags respectively. Be sure to ‘close’ your tags when the pertinent section is done.Why am I doing this? Rise money for a new computer, share with others in the RPG community, showcase the work of others, and (most important of all), to keep myself busy and out of trouble.Remember, November 1st or 100,000 words is the deadline for the 1st issue. The theme is Winter holidays/celebrations/observances. Hope you can join me.</blockquote>
