[QUOTE="Renocide, post: 996337, member: 3645"] Just thought Id add how supportive Christian is about this project and answering e-mails and such with me. I had no idea about how to produce a small press zine and have talked to Christian alot lately. Very helpfull and very nice fellow. Couple of things that might need to be pointed out for those that just skeem threw his original post: 1. The zine is what you want it to be. It can be about anything involving the RPG industry. You could have a Con-zine where you discuss different industry get togethers. It could be a DM-zine where you discuss and pass on ideas and helpfull hints on DMing. You can have it on D&D3E, Gurps, or whatever you prefer. Christian isnt telling you what system or what part of the RPG industry to cover. He is only stipulating that it be about SOME part of role-play gaming(just found out that he is also open to perzines and others, according to the site just e-mail him your idea and he may consider it). 2. He set up a forum and a workshop for those(like I) that are not sure how to get started. Read the PDF on the workshop page. It is FULL of helpful information and what he actually does to produce Scrollworks. Its a huge help for those that arent in the know. Then there is always directly e-mailing Christain. Like I said he has always been quick to reply and very helpful with any questions that I have had. 3. You dont actually have to do anything BUT write out what you want on it and come up with a couple of dollar bills to cover the printing and mailing(this is a non-profit project as he said above). You could type up a single page document in WordPad, convert it to PDF, and send it along with a couple of Washingtons, to cover printing. Then send it to Christain and he takes it from there. Thats it. 4. There isnt anyone telling you that they have rejected your article or anything like that. YOU are in control of your zine. Just like a website but without all that nasty HTML code! :) (well he will control content to a point. No weird stuff ofcourse.) 5. Everyone that submits a zine will get a copy of all the other zines(with the exception of Scrollworks :) ) that has been submitted for that month. So if 10 other folks submit a zine on the same month that you have submitted yours then you will get a copy of those 10 zines for FREE. Why NOT send some of your own design and then recieve something from the imagination of someone else? Im sure I am forgetting something but Ill leave it at that for now. This could become an incredible hub for creative thinking and gaming. Sure, it could be done online and you can download and print out what you like but, having it printed out is the cats meow!:D [/QUOTE]
