Is there a topic where submission guidelines and contact info for people assembling the fanzine? This would be helpful for ppl contributing to the fanzine new to the TrollBridge.

Not as yet, but I agree that would be very valuable.
I am currently on point for this project, but i have a wide lack of knowledge in many areas.
My understanding from the discussion so far (and please correct me if I am wrong) is to
1) Produce a free to download magazine to be called Trollzine for the Trollbridge lulu page. 2) The magazine will focus on Tunnels and Trolls, but related material (fiction, stuff about roleplay , etc) may be accepted. 3) The writers of material are to retain their copyright on it but release use of it for the Trollzine - some form of creative commons licence would be valuable here. Guidance desired!
What other points do people think should be included please?

Sounds good to me Zanshin.
I suspect that something like a 'submission guideline document' will be born out of the first issue - to get this happening as fast as possible I suggest that people submit what they've got in good faith, Ed picks and chooses then the shape of issue 2 evolves from the issue 1 feedback.

Let me know if you need any artwork or anything.

Any artwork would be great. We have contributions from Jeff Freels/Grumlahk which will be a great help.
A front page piece would be excellent.

Also, back to the legal/consent side of things, Ken St Andre has confirmed by email that this venture has his blessing, and I am waiting to hear from Rick Loomis.

Well done with obtaining the blessing(s) Zanshin - is the email something that could be reproduced in the 'zine for added authenticity? Probably need Ken's okay to do that - I wonder if he would right a brief 'foreword'?

A cover piece from SonOfThor would be a major coup - he is the king of old-skool art... Where is he, I must exalt him! Seeing Chad on the cover might attract other old-school enthusiasts...

The email was a quick 'your venture has my blessing'. if i could get him to do a 'Blessings of the Trollgod' type foreward that would be perfect. I'll ask him.

Thanks, Hogscape! But I think there might be a lot of people who fit that title than I do. Like Liz Danforth, Erol Otus, ATOM, Steve Zeiser, Pete Mullen...I just don't want to get a swollen head.

Yay indeed! I flew that balloon past him a while ago, but it didn't get a dart thrown at it then, so I thought I'd wait until we had more material ready... Hoorah!

Sorry, Dan, I've got a little too much going on, don't get the answers out as fast as I intend.
Sure, I'd love to see the magazine. Please include on the second page or sooner: "Tunnels & Trolls is a trademark of Flying Buffalo Inc and is used with permission". Also at least one link to our website on this page.
And please email me a copy of each edition.

Dan you are the man!
Thanks for your tireless efforts to make TrollZine a reality. I have a cracker left over from Christmas, I think there's an exalt in it...
