[QUOTE="Sir Elton, post: 1941554, member: 14486"] If I did such a magazine, it would fill another niche. Like the pulp theme. We would probably go full out for pulp as well, even probably have it printed on cheap pulp paper, like the old Dungeon Magazine in the 80's when TSR was running the show by themselves. Adventures would entirely be pulp. With a feel that would either be noir, wahoo, or something inbetween. Adventures can range from Jungle science fiction (Tarzan, Sheena), to swords and sorcery and heroic fantasy (Conan, the Beastmaster), to hardboiled detective stories (the Maltese Falcon), to horror and soft science fiction (Chulthu, the Mummy, Buck Rogers, Mars Attacks, Flash Gordon, and Indiana Jones). edit: I'd probably even set it up so that the magazine only buys First North American publishing rights. This is so that the author can retain his copyright. The rules would also be that adventures so written must use 100% open "no questions asked" content. No crippleware allowed. So therefore, if Monte Cook writes for such a magazine and uses one of his own "crunch," he must realize that the "crunch" he uses will be available for all without his permission. This is to protect the author as well as the publisher. [/QUOTE]
