that is the plan as noted further back, but I think at the moment we're just firing a few names out there to see if anything really leaps out as a star.

Get some good ideas and then a poll can be offered up of the more popular ideas.

edit - at the risk of stating the obvious "Contraho Scientia" is Latin for Collecting Knowledge.

I submit I am impressed by your language skills.... Is the Zine going to be printed in Latin?
If so, then I wont want any copies.

If not then I would vote to name it something that we simpletons can read. :wink:

How about: Collective Knowledge?

Or, more interesting to me: Collective Ignorance

Or, for us insane collectors, a play on an old publication: Amazing Storage

Didn't TSR even once own that license?

You'd be missing out on the latin translation of Palace of the Vampire Queen

I like that. I put Collecting Knowledge out there as it (I think) represents the fact that the newsletter is collecting knowledge about our subject, but also contains knowledge about collecting said products... :wink:

I think it's called 'yanking your chain' :lol:

but in all seriousness, I'm sure it will be in English, but perhaps Alexander1968 can translate for the Italian collectors?? I dabble a bit in Italian, but depending on how big the newsletter is, it would take me some time...

There are countless websites that will translate just about any language into English and vice versa. I came up with several ideas for a title using latin words, then I realized I didnt like any of them.

How about Shrewy Musings or Basilisk Banter? :roll:

OK....maybe not.

You sussed me out King, damn...! but Latin does have a certain credence and ring about it, in the right place.. however, I do speak Italian!

i can't believe no one has suggested shrewd collecting. if this were to actually happen i would prefer a paper product. personally i know absolutely nothing about publishing/formatting etc. but i could help with images from my collection if such was requested. and thank you Badmike for the kind words....

I think it would be great if Acaeum were in the title of the newsletter. So far I like:

The Acaeum Newsletter
The Acaeum Collectors Gazette
The Acaeum Gazette

Something simple and to the point.
