fritz the cat Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think it would be much better as a free zine. Throw money into the mix and i think it would muddy the waters. edit: the one aside would be perhaps having it as a donate what you please. And donations going to a charity ...like childsplay or something like that. For nerds by nerds for kids kinda deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JisaacT Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 sweet things are really rolling...just need to contact wyrd officials about this. Free is greaT! I really like the idea about donations for charity too! The only problem with free is if we wanted to get it printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarragon Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 sweet things are really rolling...just need to contact wyrd officials about this. Free is greaT! I really like the idea about donations for charity too! The only problem with free is if we wanted to get it printed. We could have minimal costs, just to cover the printing and distribution. Or, we could ask Wyrd for funding if we really think we're doing well XD Best bet for now is not to get it printed until we're sure, I think.

Da Big Baws Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yeah, all fan gaming mags I've seen a free PDFs, no printed material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I would say lets get a first issue pulled together as a PDF, and then look at what it costs to do a print run. We can then take donations to pull together the print run, and see where the interest is. In this type of project, I think trying to jump too far ahead of the curve is nearly a guarantee of failure. From a hosting standpoint, I should be able to host the file for downloading. Now, how about a name for the Fanzine? I saw a great name on Tabletop War this morning: The Soul Stone Report. Other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JisaacT Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 sounds good lets stick with free. Report sounds like a newspaper though. lets try to get it to SOUnd like a mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) How about, "Through the Breach" Anyway, since the graphic designer is going to end up putting in most of the work on this, I say you go ahead and pick the ones you like the most and start a poll. Makes it easier to decide and drums up a little bit of hype about it. That said, I think even choosing a name is potentially jumping the gun without an official word from Wyrd.

Absolution Black Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Great to see things are really progressing..glad i started the post now! And to be honest I think with the multinational audience that this fanzine could attract, maybe a PDf version is best...individuals could decide then whether to print it out or not, and you don't have the hassles of overseas shipping etc? A PDF could be posted here, if we get permission, and will guarantee the biggest audience possible. then it will be up to individuals to distribute the PDf through their gaming groups...No printing costs (unless the individual wants to do their own), Easy distribution, less hassle? Just my 2p worth..or 2cents if in the US! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Not sure you need approval, much as a podcast does not need approval to cover Malifaux - check the Policies section up above (and someone tell Wyrd that the PDFs page is out of date!).

dsmiles Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 it is however a iconic phrase Even people who don't play Malifaux know that one.

Name suggestions: Badlands The Malifaux Daily Record Literary Supplement No, we don't need it. But I would definitely prefer it. Even though Wyrd couldn't legally stop us from talking about their game, if they even politely asked us to stop because they felt we were stepping on the toes of the wyrd chronicles, how many people would keep helping? Plus our main method of promotion is going to be through the forums and a deleted thread could kill that pretty quick. And with Wyrd's permission we could use their images and such (potentially useful when announcing which models are coming out this month, etc) with a simple copyright on the bottom of the page. All in all, although not necessary, it strikes me as a good starting point. (Plus I'm almost certain the answer will be, "uh...sure.")

Just need for him to find time to get around to it. But don't let that stop you, wyrd is busy, and an extra poke never hurts. Also, congrats! And...don't screw up!

Justin Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 And I just realized that, "Congrats, don't screw it up" is probably going to be what I'm saying to people on happy occasions for the rest of my life. Almost at graduation? "Congrats, don't screw it up." Just got married? "Congrats, don't screw it up." Had a baby? "Congrats, don't screw it up." ...alright, now back to your regularly scheduled thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Shaper Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'd be interested in doing something for this if I can spare some time... Also when looking at printing sizes please be aware that there are differen't paper sizes through the world! And you don't need to create in Acrobat.. you can always compile in Word and save as a PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
