Cool. I think I'll write up that review on the Computer-Generated dungeon from FBI. I'll take a couple pictures of it (one of the cover, one with it open) to include with the article.
Also, if you want to use the Darkenmore Chronicles, you're welcome to, except that everyone here has already read them. Perhaps I can write another to be exclusively published in TZ.
Final question - were you going to use TIPS (The Interdiminsional Pawn Shoppe) in TZ2? You've never actually said, and you don't have it listed above.
Thanks!

Hi Sligo
Sorry for my slowness on the interdimensional pawn shoppe. It looks excellent and i am sure it would be worthy of inclusion, I just have not had the time/energy to give it a proper read through and assessment. I have been focussed on trying to get issue 1 wrapped up.
The review sounds very interesting also, a great curiosity for the old skool T&Ter .
Thank you for the offer of the Darkenmore chronicles as well. I'm not a massive poetry fan , but it looks like a great piece of work.
Danhem, i realise i did not respond regarding your proposed solo, sounds brilliant. I would love to see it.

Ok guys - deadline for new submissions to TrollsZine 2 is the 15th April. However the earlier you get the submission in, the likelier it will be included.
Don't forget the TrollsZine 1 competition! A 300 word NPC for judging by the Trollgod. Japanese T&T goodies to be won!

A 300 word NPC for judging by the Trollgod. Japanese T&T goodies to be won! Should be easy enough to get everything sorted by then (and long before i'm hoping) and, it looks like a strong list of items we've got lined up. Do you have any preference on the priority of the articles i'm working on for editorial purposes? For issue 2 i'll put much of the finishing touches to the board game tommorow and Monday (i've decided today is a day off), i'm running at 10 paragraphs a day at least for the solo i'm writing and i'm quite happy with it's progress (40 paragraphs in so far). I was also thinking of writing a guide to creating solos to help bring other authors through (i'm sure we have many talented guys here). I was thinking if i have time i may include some of my Clip Bits project (singular solo encounters that you can link into any other in the Clip Bits series). Then i'll be taking a shot (or two) at the contest. There's also The Running Delver part 2 and, any further work that may need doing on the Spells submission i made.

Hi Cartomancer. I have your spells, and will be looking closely at them soon. I would love chapter 2 of the Running Delver. I can't wait to find out what happens. I always love solos Your boardgame does sound intriguing, but may take up a lot of space. Perhaps it would be worth playtesting through here or Trollhalla first? I have an offer of an article on solo writing from Darknight. I would be very interested to see what you have to say also, but perhaps in a later issue? It is brilliant that you are so productive My priorities reflect the order above, if that helps.

It is brilliant that you are so productive My priorities reflect the order above, if that helps. Well that's deffinately workable. I think you have a good point on the game. I've just done some quick sums in my head and it looks like maybe a 30 page document! Given the size of an issue that would be a huge strain on resource. To that ends i think it might be a better idea if we package it as an item all of it's own and make it generally available to the community. If you can think how this can be done, my ears are open to suggestions. With the stuff outside of the solo and Running Delver you can feel free to hold it to whenever your in the need of articles to publish, i've got no hurry on in the subject. The thing i know is that i have bouts of pumping loads of work out and i also have dry spells so you can always use it then.

Great stuff Cartomancer , i look forward to your work!
We currently have a lot of roleplay material that is not specifically T&T now. It is of a high standard IMHO, but i want to make sure we have a good balance of T&T stuff as well. Its a T&T zine after all!
I have 2 solos promised (Cartomancer and Danhem) so any further solos may be held for Issue 3.
I would particularly like a longer GM adventure or dungeon if anyone has one of those in them.

Hi Guys, I am new here but wanted to chime in. I draw maps for fantasy, so if you need anything doing for the 'zine, just drop me a line. Here are some examples of my work (I quite like drawing dungeons too though none are illustrated here) dragonwarriors.wetpaint.com/page/The+Fief+of+Eastmarchdragonwarriors.wetpaint.com/page/Northern+CornumbriaNote that I am Steve Dove: not Kris Richards. I would suggest you wait until you have some articles that need maps and then you contact me. I can work from the crudest of sketch maps. regards Steve

Very nice Steve. Have an exalt for those maps.
Is anyone inspired to collaborate with Steve on a T&T adventure? Maps and info in perfect harmony? Alternatively Steve, if you have a T&T adventure or dungeon for publication i would love to see it.

Hey Zanshin,
I don't have one currently but could easily russle one up. When is the deadline? I should have time before my next Ordo Draconis project.
