Post subject:  The OR Online Magazine !!! Mods etc. plz look
Invocation, The Belower, The Word of Hashut; all are online magazines by hobby communities.
So, you get where I'm up to. My idea is to create an One Ring online magazine!
Every issue will appear per season, and will include hobby articles, scenario's, unit analyses, maybe even a kinda 'ask aunty x'!
Would annyone be intrested to help ? And (I'm mostly looking to the moderaters now), would this be possible ?

Ideas, comments or answerds; wat do you think ?

Thanks in Advance
Raggbur

Ps: if it will go through, a name will be needed; my idea was to call it the 'Morgul Post', but maybe there are better ideas ?

Might be good idea, but on the other hand it would take lots of work and If i am not wrong the site is not completly fixed yet.

What garmenhord said.
Only problem I can think of is that many of those points are brought up in normal threads eg. unit analysis- 'continuous tactical discussions', scenarios 'campaigns scenarios and battle reports' etc.

It would still be pretty cool if it happened though.

Well, you're right about the forums, but IMO, those are for asking questions and gain feedback, and not for article-like purposes.
and @ garmenhord: it wouldn't start right now ofcourse, the first issue would be around the beginning of winter/spring.
And what do you mean about 'to much work' ?

What he means is that a good magazine takes a lot of time and work to produce... you need editors, article writers, people to "make it look good", etc...

I'm all for it, although I doubt that contribution-wise I would be able to do much with my packed schedule.

An idea would be that articles posted on the site between two issues would be put in the following one...

Good luck (:

Well, I don't want to be... Well, I'm already building on a design, and I've got some articles ready for posting.

Very nice! The Mordor sign is a little blurred, but that's just me being picky x)

It's good, but I'd put the One Ring emblem on it somewhere.

Good design. Yeah I indeed mean that it's a time taking thing making a decent magazine and a good team. It would be hard to do it all alone. And of course u need active people helping to make it, so that it wouldn't die out because of lack of article writers. But u seem very motivated :) This might go well. Good luck with it. I don't got much time so - it might be hard to help out for me. But i would totally like the idea of a cartoon or a comic stroke in each magazine. Maybe own made covers? hehe just suggesting. Might draw something if u want and i got the time. Looking forward to the first isue ;)

Sounds like a great idea in my opinion. You'd have to appoint some mangers to this, for Dagerlad & other mods are very busy these days. So it'll be up to some of the members. You could have people entering articles on how to paint/convert/make some things. Have a gallery as well where all the issues would be stored. I agree something with the OR emblem somewhere. I'm up for helping when the time comes that we start it.

Alright, I'm still waiting for a mod reply, but here's my thought of the contents:
    1) Index
    2) Introduction Word + What the whole thing is precisly
    3) A special 'Write Sauron' blog, but of course, it will be his 'Mouth' that w[h3]your questions !*
    4) THE GOLDEN ERA: If the awards are finished then, pics of the winners will be enterd here, including some small 'intervieuws'
    5) DWARVES & DRAKES: Evaluation of the MM release
    6) THE MESSANGER REPORTS: Battle report needed! May include any armies, but must have min. 2 of the new reales in them (non regarding to LoME etc.)**
    7) THE BARRACK: WoTR Special Unit & SBG Troop Type Analysis (WoTR = formation incl. hero's ==> SBG: troop type + hero)
    8) Realms of Middle Earth: A special aritcle serie by myself, this features special sbg rules for the different realms of middle earth.
    9) Beginner Painting or Painting Techniques
    10) Scenario's/ Campaigns ***
    11) HOSTS OF ... (realm): Army Showcase + member history
    12) THE HALL OF RECRUITS (or another name... help?): House Profiles (+ -if someone has a good idea- house rules)
    13) PITS OF ISENGARD: Moddeling Articles (converting, basing, moddeling tricks etc.)****
    14) THE TRIBE COLOURS OF ... (Realm): Painting guides
    15) Intervieuw and Special thanks to Alan depicting the rebuilding of the site

* Well, everyone can ask Sauron questions about their own middle earthish life, or about what's happening @ the Barad-Dur
** See it like all good and evil armies gain the new MM reinforcements
*** Hobby Articles related to this will be mixed in here to; I've already found something great for the first issue
**** If there are more then 1 article submitted, the xtra one(s) will appear somewhere else.


So, what do you think ?

Really good idea! :yay:
I am interested in helping with it, provided that I have enough time.
I thinks that the article writers/editors should be in touch via Msn/skype/or whatever.

I think maybe you're putting too much stuff into one issue. You should probably stretch it out a little so you've always got enough for later issues. Maybe combine some of the sections together?

Post subject:  Re: The OR Online Magazine !!! Plz look
Perhaps it's not bad to have more sections , - but publish the articles in parts... so that u will be watching out for the following issue :) U know like a tv soap ; making u want to watch the next episode ( step of painting guide here for ex-)

Yes, that would work. What I was worried about was having really bad articles just to fill up the various sections; I'd rather have less but better articles.
