New Fanzine looking for submissions

Post by Morthrai » Fri Mar 24, 2017 3:22 pm

Greetings!

Our new roleplaying publication The Dark Times Fanzine is looking for submissions. We are a free pdf magazine dealing with all aspects of the horror, conspiracy and weird roleplaying genres. Our pilot issue will be released in a couple of weeks and will contain material for several game systems. Apart from gaming material we also accept anything that can act as inspiration for games, or has been inspired by them. This includes short fiction, artwork, movie & TV reviews, and even poetry should the muse strike you!

If you have any material that you think fits the bill, or have any questions, you can send them along to us at:
darktimesfanzineATgmailDOTcom

Submission guidelines are available from the above address on request. We have not yet put together a publishing schedule so there is no immediate rush, but we are always open for submissions so sooner is always better if you wish to send us something.

We look forward to seeing what you have.

Thanks for your time!
Lee Williams.

Be advised that I think the demise of PDA was announced during the last MU show recording (which I missed), but it was recorded before news of this spiritual successor came out. So on the next episode, E119, to drop on Monday, there is no mention of this info yet. But stay tuned!

Yes indeed, things have turned around so quickly. We set the ball rolling with Dark Times in the few days between the recording and publication of this episode. In fact I have only just posted a thank you a few minutes ago in the E119 thread.

Cheers! :)

I am still chasing some other publishers besides those listed 8-)

Most importantly though, we need fan-created content to put into the magazine! I shall keep spreading the word until we have enough for a decent-sized first issue and any help in that regard is also appreciated.
