Trollszine 10 the creative Process

[zanshin]

Well hello esteemed denizens of the bridge:

Quogmyre and myself (joint editors of Trollszines 1-3) have decided to have a swing at getting out Trollszine number 10. We should have the blessing of Flying Buffalo. I am sending out a call for articles and art so we can get the show on the road. If you would like to submit something please PM me and I will furnish you with my personal email. I will also be perusing the many brilliant threads on the zine and seeing if there are things that we could publish. I will of course be asking permission and the creative input will be acknowledged and remain with the creator, as is always the case with Trollszine.

So please, if you have an idea that we should know about drop me a PM and lets get you immortalized.

We are edition agnostic, and articles about roleplay or background are welcome as well.

I will be approaching past contributors who have been featured and asking if they would mind submitting something.

I look forward to the avalanche of submissions.

It is always great if we can have a solo adventure, and a GM adventure. Art is always welcome.

Putting out a call for people prepared to sub edit. I spot some things, but not everything. Please post here if thats something you would do, or send me a PM. You get credit for the work in the list of contributors. I already have a couple of things that would benefit from the eagle eyes of Trollbridges elite.

Happy to continue to offer my services in that regard, zanshin . Email address hasn't changed. The next couple of weeks will be busy but I should have a bit of space once we hit December.

[zanshin]

Well the avalanche of submission proposals has been awe inspiring. I am at the point where anything new will now need to be held for Trollszine 11. I and Quagmyre will take a view when we see what we have in hand at the end of November. But dont be downhearted. If you have a great idea, please put fingers to keyboard. There is a lot of energy going for this at the moment so I am confident we can have a 2 zine run at least.

Thanks for the contributions and interest.

We can aways go to quarterly if there is enough content, frequency is better than size IMO.

[zanshin]

Updated with items received. Today is the official deadline.

We have more than enough stuff already for number 10 (though more art always always always welcome). I know that Sid is very close to the finish line with his solo which has been purpose written with our Trollgod recuperation theme so I am inclined to give him a chance to do that.

I am planning to push back my own article to TZ11 to give others a chance to showcase their talents.

We still need volunteers to sub edit. I have 1 to date (take a bow Prof Gremlin).

If you were thinking of doing something for Trollszine, I am planning a deadline for number 11 of end of January. So use the holidays to come up with more stuff with which to dazzle us

[zanshin]

Delighted to say Sids solo has arrived and that we can tighten up on the contents list (so I have).

I am pleased to say we have 2 solo adventures, a GM adventure and some cracking articles, including Ken St Andre's own deadly combat article.

Combat will be a bit of a theme with David Lucardie advising how to win fights when you are 6" tall with only wings and attitude to compensate, and Randy Whitley giving his advice on ensuring the odds are always in your favour.

I hope to have something I can send to quogmyre by the middle of the month so he can do the real hard work of stitching it together.

[zanshin]

Nearly everything has now been forwarded to Quogmyre. There is one article still going through copy editing, but I am confident that will be done by Saturday.

I am really excited about the quality of submissions to the zine and I think it will stand proudly on the digital bookshelf with the previous 9.

[quoghmyre]

Confirmed emails recieved and cover art recieved. If you have adverts to include please forward to Zanshin, NOW!

[quoghmyre]

Current projected publication date Friday 8th January 2021.

Currently working on the maps.

[zanshin]

Final submission sent to Quogmyre just now.

[darrght]

A HUGE 'well done' to you zanshin and quoghmyre for putting this together in such a short timeframe and with such efficiency. And, congratulations to all other Trolls for their creative and other efforts. I cannot wait to see the final outcome on January 8th
