To All:
Now that I am back from the convention and finally done with Prax
(hopefully forever!), I am starting to turn to the next issue of The Book
of Drastic Resolutions, which will be the long-delayed Troll and Darkness
issue.
I already have a lot of material for this, and more which I hope to get,
but I want to give everyone a last chance to participate. Anyone who has
interesting troll or darkness material is invited to send it to me at my
Drastic eddress (see below).
I already have a few cult write-ups, a bunch of spirit, hero, and demon
cults, a number of Plunder items, and some great myths. I am seeking more
of the same, and anything else that touches on the subject of darkness.
High-level NPC stats (in a format similar to Lords of Terror), new types
of fungi and dark elf brews, narratives by or about trolls, descriptions
of troll ceremonies, darkness-related sorcery spells, and cultural
information on trolls are all good examples of topics I am interested in
covering. Those of you who I have spoken to in the last 18 months, and
who were going to work on material, now is the time to do it!
I need to have all submissions in first draft form by the end of
September. This will give time for editing and rewrites (as needed),
arranging for art, etc. Because of the amount of material I have, I am
unwilling to extend this deadline, even if I do not actually publish this
January (my current, but likely-to-be-delayed goal).
Any and all questions, suggestions, and ideas will be happily received.
Also, if anyone has ideas for the theme of the next issue, let me know. I
am currently considering an Oceans and Islands issue, with as much of the
Oceans Book info as Chaosium and/or Issaries Inc. will allow me to use,
but that could change.
Thanks for your time and attention.
P.S. Contributors to Volume Prax, your copies will be in the mail this
week if you did not get them at Gloranthacon. If anyone can put me in
contact with John Dales or Brian Hebert, so I can get their mailing
addresses, I would be most appreciative.
