OK , so the contents are finalised for 13. Need to hear back from a couple of contributors and then I can send my stuff to Quog.
Lets get lively and come up with new ideas and articles for the next edition. I know some ideas have been punted around. If you need to know where to send them PM me.By all means post your proposals here - adventures especially welcome, but anything to spice up the game is great.

We could aim for December and do a Christmas number, maybe have some winter themed stuff. It always seems like fantasy stories all have a wintry/snow segment, maybe we can muster up a good frostbite adventure with some snow based monsters. We could shoot for November and dabble in both Christmas and Halloween. Seems like haunted houses and ghosts in the graveyard work just as well with snow on the ground as they do with dead leaves. The end of the year has some good themes.

I'm not sure I can commit to doing issue 14 during December/January, if someone else wants to do the layout please please jump in. |

I have just sent the many parts of 13 down under to our southernmost Troll and I am very proud of this one. It's going to be great, and I am sure worth the wait, in no small part thanks to Alkazars amazing drawings. If we get winter themed articles I am happy to consider a light theme, it's always winter somewhere, but our quarterly publication comes out when the staff have finished spending their lavish royalty cheques  and have time for the next one. |

I know the quality of your art, do you have any articles you might want to write for it? |

Nothing off hand, just a vague concept for a couple of monsters, I'll keep rolling it around, who knows what might pop out of it. |

Been binge-reading indie-RPGs, thinking of ways to merge them with our tradition (how old is this game?) in a way that's nothing like the expected "edge lords roll dice to mock feelings". Holidays. Gifts. I think of Marvel Comics Hercules and his "gift of battle" tagline. It's cozy all together under the tree....six feet under. Once concrete, more coherent (I know I know) thoughts come, I'll PM zanshin. |

(In lieu of starting a new thread)
Re: Webbed Elephant in the room. Has anyone been contacted by or directly contacted Webbed Sphere re: TZ? (Unsure how much it being free really changes all that much?) Contributors (who may be creating products with a price as well as TZ articles)--your thoughts? What was (or was there ever one) the agreement with Rick Loomis?

What was (or was there ever one) the agreement with Rick Loomis? Hi mosker, no approach at all from webbed sphere which is one of the reasons why we relocated to Tavernmasters. The agreement with Rick was a virtual handshake, we agreed to create it, he agreed to host it on Flying Buffalo Drive Thru for free. He sent me a very complimentary and touching email about the first one. |

how much do we have lined up for issue 14?
By that I mean, do we have anything in hand or are there only proposed ideas?
I feel like with all the fear going on right now, we should maybe start getting 14 up and going even if it's a smaller issue.

I feel like with all the fear going on right now, we should maybe start getting 14 up and going even if it's a smaller issue. I went through a brief old man screaming "@(!~! them! Anarchy! Free the trolls! Hide PDFs in the tunnels of the internet!" moment and then I thought how such tactics might hinder the new owners of T&T (I am convinced there will be a sale) from dealing with the creators... Pseudonymous submisssions, however.... Shut up and hit Create Post, Dave |

and have time for the next one.
