Message: <blockquote data-quote="Southern Oracle" data-source="post: 318499" data-attributes="member: 1249">I've had one article published in Dragon magazine..."Fractious Factions" in issue #287.  Since Dragon wasn't interested in the rest of the of the faction prestige classes, I turned those over to Brannon Hollingsworth of <a href="http://www.planewalker.com" target="_blank">www.planewalker.com</a> -- maybe they'll see the light of day some year when the Planescape d20 project is finished.I have another article coming out in Dragon sometime between now and next June...Jesse Decker said he was moving it up from the original publishing date, but I don't know exactly when it'll appear.I won the "Design a Monster" contest on <a href="http://www.d20zines.com" target="_blank">www.d20zines.com</a> for Pinnacle's Depths of Despair book.Bastion Press posted one of my prestige classes that didn't make it into Alchemy and Herbalism, "Mistress of the Rose," on its website.I'd have to say that getting published has a certain degree of luck involved.  If I hadn't pitched the idea for the Planescape prestige classes at that particular time when Dragon was organizing an issue to support the Manual of the Planes, I probably wouldn't have been published.  Of course, I had no idea that book was coming out at the time I proposed the article...and they didn't tell me, either.  It's certainly easier to get published if you give someone what they're looking for, but few editors/game companies will reveal their "themes" very far in advance.Christopher Campbell<a href="mailto:planehopping@hotmail.com">planehopping@hotmail.com</a></blockquote>
