Are you going to GenCon? Are you a merchant by chance? Would you allow your paladin

What's on this flyer you want to hand out? You might want to give a few details to get folks interested, and to let them know your not pushing anything crazy or illegal (I'm sure you're not).

I mean, if a merchant says yes, and then suddenly finds his booth pushing flyers advertising a fuzzy ninja masquerade ball...well, that could be bad.

That's funny

Okay, it won't hurt to give a peek at it.

I won't say the name of it just yet, but with the demise of Dragon and Dungeon magazine in a printed format, a great many others and myself, are left wanting a magazine to be shipped to them in the mail.

I am putting the finishing touches on a new magazine. I wanted to premiere it at GenCon, but with trouble here in Minnesota with the bridge collapse, we are missing a friend of a friend of the family and not sure if she is in the river or not, I find myself unable to make it to Gen Con this year. You have to support your friends.

Coupled that with the fact that the magazine is at least a month away from print and the best I think I can handle right now is a flyer.

So, I was going to hand out flyers pimping the website for the magazine to build interest.

I love the people at ENWorld, so I offered Morrus free advertising in the magazine if he wanted it. This is also something that I would place on the flyer, an ENWorld logo or something, thus kind of why I was waiting to see his response to my e-mail. I didn’t want to bring it up here, but maybe you didn’t get my e-mail? Whatever you decide, it is all good. Just trying to give back.

If you are still thinking about it, that is fine, but I have to go to print on the flyers by Monday, so free advertising is yours, if you want it.

Anyway, the magazine is subtitled, “a magazine for gamers; by gamers.” The magazine is intended to bring articles back to the glory days of D&D. It will contain articles written by gamers, not industry professionals. Not to say that I would pass up the chance to have a professional writer host an article or two. I just wanted the feel of content that the earlier magazines had. So far, myself and three other ENWorlders are writing all of the articles. I hope to take submissions from others too, once the magazine begins. I won't give away any more, you need some surprises.

So, there it is. You won’t get the title out of me just yet, but know you know what it is.

Wow. That is quite an undertaking.

I wish you lots of luck and success!

It is turning out to be more than I bargined for, but it is getting easier. I was going to hit you up for a contribution, but I knew you were busy with your book deal with Morrus. Blackdirge will always be welcome to write for the magazine in the future, when he has time

Yup, I just wanted to point out as others have touched upon, that there are no flyer tables or flyering allowed at Gen Con, with the expcetion of, yes, a vendor can flyer from his table only. So your best bet would I guess to be find a vendor willing to put it on his table.

Yes, I have found one vendor, The Source, from St. Paul Minnesota, is going to place the flyer at their stand. I will also post a fresh thread here too. Hope everyone likes it. Kind of nerve racking, writing a magazine. :\

Good Luck with the missing person, my entire family with the exception of my brother and parents live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area along with many of my friends. So far everybody seems to be accounted for. Me I live in Winona so I was personally safe, but it was definetely scarey for a while.
