Played-It News

[Scatterspell]

Hello gamers,

We are a new fanzine for reviewing RPG products. We do things a little differently.

First, every product gets 3 Reviews

Second, Every product must be not only read thru by the reviewers, but played or used in game sessions. Allowing for a more informative reviews.

We have many publishers signed up with us currently and get more all the time! We are always looking for more Reviewers!

Interested? Visit http://played-it.mortality.net

Todays News: Our mission from GOD (me) continues on! We are now up to 12 reviewers and product is moving thru here like bunnies on Jolt Cola.

We have Rolemaster reviewers lined up but are still looking for people to review Harnmaster.

We have a couple larger companies looking to sign up dependent on the first issue.

We will soon have a cohesive email structutre under the www.played-it.com domain name.

Enjoy!

Well, might as well ask some questions here...

The profile page has some information on tilt factors. Will that be broken down more or left as is? One of the examples states if the reviewer doesn't like Undead, for example, but that really isn't on the tilt factor.

How many pages is each issue aiming for?

How many reviews per issue? If each product gets three reviews, and most should be at least one page in length, then ten products would be 30 pages right there. More with advertising, and table of contents, editorial, etc...

What's the target release date?

Tilt factors may be broken down more, we are still working on that. Too detailed and it will bog down the rating system, too vague and they are useless. Hopefully we will get the Tilt system down in the next week or two.

We are looking at between 28-38 pages per issue at first. This is not set and will probably change before the first issue is out.

We have no set release date yet, as we are still adding more reviewers/publishers/products so we may have more or less than we anticpate for the first issue. Expected release is mid to late June.

Hope that clears up a little for you!
