Asgard magazine - Theme ideas?

[hong]

I think I prefer unthemed. Asgard 7, for instance, is a great example of how good you can make a mag without a theme bogging you down.

What's that, you say, Asgard 7 _still_ isn't out yet?

Oh well, never mind, then.

Themes for Natural Twenty Press

I would like to see themes along the lines about the products of Natural Twenty Press. But not the way Dragon does it. I want original articles and such after a new product came out.

Peace and smiles

Well, now that Asgard issue 7 is out, I'd like to again bring up this question to see people's opinions, and to see if people have any suggestions for a particular theme we could pursue.

I'll begin asking for articles in a few days. I'd also kinda like to know how you, both as community members and as possible contributors to the issue, would feel about having all article proposals take place on the boards directly.

Meaning, if you have an idea for an article, you'd post it here, and then I could either reply here if the answer is simple (e.g., "Sorry, we did that two issues ago"), or I could email a response to you if the article needs more discussion. Would that be alright?

Also, even if I did have a thread here for proposing articles, I would still of course accept proposals sent in via email.

How about an issue with a planear theme? Not the WotC planes (not OGC), but some ideas for alternative cosmologies, more outsiders and planetouched races, etc.

 

[GuardianLurker]

I'll second the Planar themes -
outsiders
plane "sets" (like Roger Moore's Nine Hells series)
elementals
cosmologies
deities
etc.

I'd also suggest
Adventures (theme-related, or as the theme itself)
World simulation (ecologies, economies, weather, etc)
Deconstruction (in-depth analysis of various game features)

I think theme ideas would be cool!

While we're discussing Asgard, I am forced to say that I am a bit dissapointed in issue 7. The stuff in it is well . . . too good. Example: the Martial Artist. You take the fighter, and in exchange for a 1 point decrease in HD, give them a broader feat selection, uncanny dodge, AC bonusses, more skill points, and better skill selection, as well as a bunch of class-specific supercool feats. It's just a bit too good, IMHO.
