Thanks Zanshin! OK everyone, here is what's going to happen next: I'll put the final touches on the style guide, and sometime in the next few days, I'll quietly slip in unannounced and create a new topic called TrollsZine! Style and Submission guide. In it I will post the style guide (version 1.5,) a zip file of the standard fonts and a zip of the templates in libre office and docx format (I'm using libre office to create them and since I don't have a modern version of word I can't verify that they are kosher, so once posted if someone could check them for me, that would be great.)
I don't know about you guys, but I'm chomping at the bit to get started!

I'm Making an official call for TrollsZine 14 submissions! I've got a few thing already but I'm wanting more! I want quality over quantity, if all I have is 23 pages then I'm rolling with 23, but I know you guys are super dedicated and would never let TrollsZine! be released in such a thin and emaciated state.
It's time to feed the Troll!

It's time to feed the Troll! Did you get my articles on those creatures from Norse folklore? I was thinking of possibly writing two more if there is interest. Otherwise: what is the theme of issue 14? What kind of articles do we want to see? There are many people on the forum who are good at writing solo adventures, maybe they want to contribute something? And yes we have to eat that insatiable troll!

You mean the Bäckahäst, the Glosom and company? Yes I got them and if you want to contribute more, then do that thing. I'm shooting for an early to mid December release so if you want to do something holiday or winter related that would be cool, though I'm not going to enforce any kind of theme. However, I'm going to regard this as a Christmas Number. Well I need a solo adventure I'd love to have a short GM adventure New monsters are always welcome. If anyone wants to contribute some spells, that would be cool. Maybe a review or two. Perhaps one of the recent lovecraft variant, or Lair Of The Leopard Empresses. I think it would be really cool if the solo and GM adventures made use of some of the monsters from the monsters section, I will not require it, but I just think it would be awesome. Of course any article would be nice. I think at the moment I only have two or three so a couple more would be much appreciated.

I'm currently working on something, a piece of t&t poetry, because why not?; I think it would be the first time in Trollszine? But I could be wrong. Should I send it to you via message on the forum? And does it matter what format I use? (doc.)

All you have to do is email it to me, it doesn't matter what format you choose. If you're wanting to format it yourself, or if you are curious about submission guidelines, everything you need to know is in the style guide. If you trust my ability to format it for you, then send it to me as is and I'll take care of the rest.
My email can not handle anything above 5mb that's why we have artists use WeTranfer.com, but I don't believe a poem could be over 5mb so you should be ok.

OK, I'm going to set the deadline for TrollsZine! issue 14 articles to the last Thursday of November so I can have time to finish formatting etc. I haven't got much, so hopefully you guys are planning to submit because It would really be nice to have more than 20 pages. I need a solo adventure still and if I can get a short GM adventure... or heck, even a long one. If you need more time, I might be able to swing it, but I'm planning a release for the second full week of December.

If you have a presence on FB*, there's a considerably larger community (can't speak for their investment level) who might be interested in submitting and your new hard deadline might prompt some action. *Reinsert old complaint about and understanding of Trollish/Social media names

Apologies, will not have anything done by the end of November. Realistically I am thinking in terms of #15.
