Knowledge Arcana Untethered

[Vrecknidj]

Several months have passed since you've seen a post about a new issue of Knowledge Arcana. There are many reasons for this, some pretty, some ugly. Generally, though, the delays have been a result of two things: 1) negotiations over KA's place in a Gleemax-centered world over at WotC, and 2) the shake-up of the coming of 4e.

If you're interested in the details, you can find many of them on the Gleemax boards:

VCL discussion, open
VCL discussion, restricted
KA discussion

The bottom line is that Knowledge Arcana will shortly resume publication. Issue 10 is due in the next few weeks. This will be the last issue that is published with KA being under WotC's umbrella. Starting with issue 11, Knowledge Arcana will be a far more independent entity.

We've added staff, changed address, and will be offering more non-WotC content coverage. We anticipate having a strong working relationship with WotC, and will continue to cover as much of their material as we can.

However, we're moving out into some uncharted depths and look forward to giving everyone more excellent reading material.

I have already received a rather nice pile of submissions for the next several issues, including a few juicy bits from authors you already know (some of whom have credits in Dungeon, and some of the non-core books, such as the various Monster Manuals).

But, our focus is still on being a community magazine. To that end, I will still always be looking for submissions from anyone and everyone in the community. If you've always thought you could write a great adventure (D&D, d20 Modern, something else), a nice piece of fiction, a flotilla of NPCs for other DMs, look us up. We're interested.

One of your fellow KA editors posted about this last week or the week before. I suggested I may be in the next issue, and if so, people should be afraid. I also suggested I may not be in the next issue, as Vrecknidj has not let me know

While it has never been my type of e-zine, I do wish you guys luck

Nah, not afraid.

It's going to be a surprise to me too. It's been in layout for a while, and while I know what I sent up the pipeline, I'm not sure what's still there.

It's funny, I assume this is like assembling anything else; it's simply not the case that every member on the team knows what's going on at each stage of the process.

And thank goodness for that. I don't get enough sleep as it is.

I'm going to put in a plug for you all to check this out if you havn't, or even if you have, before.

It isn't Dragon, but it has valuable pieces in it every issue. It's free. And, the editors are nice people so support 'em.

I'm glad to hear that KA is coming back! Question: Are you still going to run 3.5 D&D articles after 4e comes out?

I hate working with amateurs.

This is an example of the underhandedness I was talking about. Hacked??? I suggest running a WhoIs.

EDIT: Oh wait. I think I know what this is about. Because I like to talk to the FBI!!

Poll said the site has been hacked. Saying that is not underhanded, as she has not falsely leveled any accusations against anyone. It's called damage control.
