Here's today's second announcement:
I'm going with the title "Unofficial OSR" for the fanzine under The Grumpy Dwarf as the publisher, as feedback that I've gotten indicates that many folks would prefer a zine that covers the whole of the OSR.
So, with a spread starting with ACKS and Ambition & Avarice and running through Raggi's Weird Fantasy and everything in between, there is a lot of ground to cover.
That doesn't mean the end of Copper Droppings before it even starts. Copper Droppings will be it's own section, edited by +Michael Garcia and will be exclusively Swords & Wizardry - so yes, a zine within a zine. Think of the old Dragon issues with the Ares section.
I'll be aiming for Sept 1, 2013 for release - if we can hit earlier, great, but this timeline gives me 2 weeks of vacation a and 2 1/2 months to get things up and running.
Same payment plan for submissions - beer money and you keep the rights to your work ;)
submissions for Unofficial OSR should be sent to tenkarsDOTtavernATgmailDOTcom
submissions for Copper Droppings should be sent to socialATdeadratpublishingDOTcom
Cut off for Issue 1 submissions is August 3, 2013
(if time and ability permits, there may be a "Zero Issue" release -

Just a few rulings from last session.
*Can you do a swing/impaling attack to the eyes?* Probably yes according to
the rules, but no, we've long ruled that ...

Is DCC included?
ReplyDeleteit might need to be "white labeled", as I'm not sure if Goodman allows the DCC name to be used without permission, but as DCC is OGL it should be ok
ReplyDeletei love DCC, and if i can ever put the damn alternate starting professions list into a printable format (which i tried and failed to do for Dak, as the work was mind numbing ;) i'd love to add it to the zine.
What about Pacesetter?
ReplyDeleteit's easier with OGL stuff
Deletechill / space ace / sandman and the rest aren't going to be easy
that being said, if you had something stat-less that used one of the Pacesetter games as inspiration, it would be considered ;)
Good news Erik. Looking forward to it...sucker.
ReplyDeleteOuch! heh
DeleteYeah, I've been toying with the idea for a while, and making this more than just "my project" but a community project just seems right.
ReplyDeleteSounds cool.
