I think a fanzine is a GREAT idea! Maybe a quarterly at first to keep it low commitment? I would be willing to contribute. It might help to come up with a list of brainstorming ideas like: Alternate Ability Generation Methods New Races, Classes, etc. DM Aids Definitely brainstorm freely on here! Welcome!

The pendulum has swung and I am pretty much squared away now. Everything has even out. I got a new computer, I'm blogging again, and ready to get back at it on this forum.

By the way do you have any pdf creating or editing skills?

By the way do you have any pdf creating or editing skills? At one time I knew my way around Open Office pretty good. Those skills have definitely taken a hit with life the last 5 - 6 years. I've switched over to LibreOffice. Is there anything in particular you had in mind?

Is there anything in particular you had in mind? As articles are completed, we (as many are as interested) should work on proofreading (spelling, punctuation and grammar) those who have skills and want to help with it. As for the final document, layout and conversion to a pdf is something we will need and a big bonus would be if someone knows how to bookmark the pdf. For instance, I am pretty good on finding spelling errors. But punctuation and grammar are not strong points for me.

Maybe I'm still at a level to be comfortable volunteering for that?

No need to decide immediately, we are months away from the first draft of the complete document. Layout is the most important, bookmarks is a bonus and could be added later (much later) in a update to the document.

It's so outrageous than no one will forget what it is, though everyone will forget its actual name and acronym! But with cut-and-paste, who cares?

Problem is that it is too long and everyone would misspell it doing the search. ...and detective mysteries? 20th and 21st century action adventures? (I always used a blend of Call of Cthulhu and Tunnels & Trolls/Mercenaries, Spies, & Real Nice Guys for those.)

Your fandom patiently awaits, hope all your commitments follow through. These things can be tough, when you don't meet face to face. Looking over the forum, I am sure that the Dreamer could fill at least a couple of issues by himself without writing anything new, throw in his blog and you have several more issues. But muliple authors will ensure a much wider readership, so I urge everyone to follow through. Don't add me in yet, but later on in a future issue, I may be able to contribute, just need to get my feet here first.

Yes, we must have multiple authors, I don't think very many people would want to read a solo fanzine.
