So, let's say I had an adventure suitable for use with T&T, where could I post it? I've got one that I've used many times with great success every time and could type it up sometime and post it for everyone's general amusement.

It might be nice to do something akin to what is done over at Dragonsfoot. That is, to produce a downloadable, semi-professional .pdf module, with the community contributing some production help if necessary (layout & design, illustrations, etc.). If you were interested, I might enjoy helping out, and I'm sure someone here (khaydhaik?) would be happy to host it. Just a thought.  |

If you were interested, I might enjoy helping out, and I'm sure someone here (khaydhaik?) would be happy to host it. These are the lines along which I had been thinking. I've already gotten the maps done up in CC2 format, which translate really well into png. files, and could also do some illustrations, but the layout and editing of the text is where my skills falter. So if we had someone who could help on that score, then I'd be happy to get typing! Now if we could just convince Dragonsfoot to open a T&T section, then I'd just submit it there... |

Carjack, I'll happily assist with editing and proof-reading tasks. Layout less so, although I'm happy to provide input. I'll also mention that Boozer shines at this sort of thing, although I don't presume to volunteer his spare time...
It's possible that the files may be able to be hosted here, of course. I will enquire of our illustrious forum maintainer...

Now if we could just convince Dragonsfoot to open a T&T section, then I'd just submit it there... You could always ask in the Suggestion forum. DF's hosted stuff for games far less fitting (Savage Worlds...although a great game, not really old-school). Can't hurt to ask if they'd host the files and establish a d/l section for T&T. I know other old school/OoP sites devote something to T&T (K&K, and the Tavern). |

Cheers Mahrundl  I'd be happy to help out with such a project next year, if it wasn't too demanding on my time, which is kinda sparse these days  |

A T&T section in another Forum would be excellent for the game's profile. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this Forum is doing really well. Attracting new fans and promoting T&T most excellently! Also, I've heard it said here and there, but IMHO I don't think T&T fans (I can only speak for the ones I know here and at Trollhalla of course) wish to keep the game exclusive to the same dozen or so fans. I think anyone who is really comitted and passionate about Tunnels & Trolls would love to see it reach a greater audience and popularity once again. |

Like mahrundl, I'd be happy to help to the extent that I can. I have excellent proofreading skills and a decent eye for layout. What I lack are professional level publishing tools and the experience to do anything really fancy. I'd say go ahead with the digitalizing of the adventure, because it sounds as though there's enough support here that, given some time, we'd likely be able to do a decent job on it. Have fun!  |

IMHO, it even goes beyond there's enough support here ...It's entering the realm of " there's a real need here!" Whatever i can do, you can count on me...after my issue 1 of the Castellan's out (which should be next week). |

I agree with Khaydhaik, send it to either Ken or Rick Loomis, it's worth a go! If you are not in it for the money (and there isn't much to be made anyway from this sort of thing, unfortunately), you will get a real buzz from seeing your stuff published. |

Well, it's a nice thought. I'll see if it's an original enough adventure to be worth attempting to pitch. If it seems to be shaping up nicely, I may try this! However, I think I may just end up putting it up on the web somewhere, considering I've never written anything before!

Carjack, don't be discouraged if you don't get anywhere with publication on your first attempt. The T&T community really seems to appreciate the contributions of its members, even if they don't always say so explicitly. I'm certainly interested in seeing anything you come up with!

Carjack, How is this going? Are we likely to see your work any time soon? *prod* |
