Announcement about Asgard: Seeking submissions for issue 7.

The deadline for submissions to Asgard issue 7 will be July 15th. I would like to hear what people want to see. I'm thinking of having an issue themed around alternative campaign settings, in light of WotC's setting search. Thus, I'd like to see a lot of ideas proposed that take some of the common themes of D&D, change them around, and elaborate on them.

Also, it would delight me if somebody could come up with one or two more games, akin to those presented in Tournaments, Fairs, & Taverns.

As for my own work, you can expect another in the long line of prestige classes I mentioned in my various fake class books. So far we've seen the High Sorcerer, the Feyspeaker, the Ley-Line Magus, the Taranesti Sword-Dancer, the Crescent Island Spellsinger, and the Edgemaster. I plan to include another one of those, but most of my efforts are currently directed to finishing up D20 Supers, and working on Mythic Earth.

I'd like to see a few less prestige class submissions, since we get a whole lot of those. Feel free to send along some fleshed out house rules, a cool NPC, a magic item or three, some new spells, or even just an article to help people roleplay.

Finally, I'm going to be scouring the boards over the next month or so, and the best threads will have a few tidbits lifted from them and included in Asgard, with their authors' permission. Hopefully that will encourage you to have some cool discussions in the next few weeks.

Remember that all work submitted to Asgard is wholly volunteer. Your reward comes not in money, but in the pleasure of a job well done, the approval of your fellow gamers, and perhaps a few XP from your DM. So, as a note to DMs out there, give a few bonus XP to any player who submits an article to Asgard, okay? It's the only incentive I can offer.

Well, I'm not a mod on the general forum, so I couldn't sticky it, and it's not vitally important. Really, Asgard magazine is only as good as the community members make it, so it's your own loss if you don't pay attention and bump it occasionally. So, by the way, thank you for bumping it. Do you have any requests, suggestions, or ideas?

I have a suggestion... get Shark to do something for Asgard. Or, if he's too busy, then get him to let you use some of his posts. The minotaur post he put up here, for example, could be used as-is for a "alternative Minotaur race for your campaign" article.
 

Heh. Shark's already busy with something, and I don't want to put too much on his plate, but I'll talk to him. . . .

Once I finish the bloody rules for D20 Supers. There are a thousand little bitty holes to fill. Things like, "If I have a gadget-based super power that grants Power Vampirism, do the powers I drain go away if I get rid of the gadget?" or "If both me and my foe have Impact Resistance, and I ram him at the speed of sound, since neither of us take damage, is he still knocked back?" They're really small things compared to the scope of the whole project, but it's necessary.

And my deadline is today. Ech. Looks like no sleep for me. ;)
 


To all those doing the game worlds such as Daemonforge, Umbragia, Dusk, I think you should use Asgard to make updates or put out new stuff from your game world. Think of it as marketing.
 


Feel free to pick twenty or so of the "Ways to freak out your players" thread that I started. It would probably make for a good article. If you want, I could put them together myself, but I am notoriously unreliable when I plan on doing something that there isn't money or a school grade riding on. Oh well. IF you can't pick 'em by yourself, just let me know via this thread. I might have something else to contribute, but I'll have to think about it.
 

I could do a fiction article if you'd like from the Scarred Lands...It would be unoffical but I think I whip something together. Or something else if you'd like Ranger man.
