Re: Text thread
If anyone wants to do any writing for the test issue, feel free. The more actual text we have in there, the better it will look.
Re: Text thread
What's the deadline for the test issue?
Re: Text thread
No formal deadline, but i am going to print and bind whatever i have in about a week to take to FFF3 with me. If that is a go, we can publish this as soon as everything is in there.
Re: Text thread
Cool, I'll get something submitted ASAP.
Re: Text thread
What kind of material are you looking for? AFF2 adventures? Ideas for adapting AFF2 to other settings from literature, etc.? New magic styles? Anything else?
What would be the ideal length of this stuff?

Re: Text thread
Shall we use these templates?

The templates use styles. So if you change the Normal style to a different font size the normal text changes all through the doc. Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 are used for the different sizes of headings.
I left my title page border graphic in and you're welcome to use that if you like as long as it's for AFF2 stuff. Or not.

Re: Text thread
I can do the style, so a fairly plain text is probably easiest for Sam and myself to deal with.
have a look at the sample pdf for length. Art, maps etc will reduce the amount of text available.
With that template, I can then just turn off the filler text and drop an article straight in.

Re: Text thread
The two types of articles I mentioned, 100 Rumours and 100 Books, tend to be in the range of 7-8,000 words and 4,000 words respectively. They could be split into multi-part articles across different issues, if that's too long.
Re: Text thread
Ideally the text will fit on one or two pages.
Re: Text thread
These, going by stuff already done, would be a lot longer that that for a full 100. However, 20 books or 10 rumours should fit within that range. Would there be interest in an ongoing series of such?
Re: Text thread
Sounds good to me!
Re: Text thread
Okay, got something written for the Director's Corner. What's the best way to submit it?
Re: Text thread
Can you add it to the Googledrive folder lined in the main thread?
I will let Sam have a look but at this stage I will just put it into the layout and update the pdf
