Got questions, comments, sneers? Post here.

wow, sounds great. I'd like to write/illustrate, given the opportunity.
I'm also UK based if that helps.
BUT, I've only played 1st ed AD&D.
still, I'm keen...

'Sneers'?  Far from it.  Frankly, the announcement is a dream come true for myself, and probably for a lot of others who witnessed the ignominies of TSR in the mid to late 1980's.

I'd be happy to proof, edit, or even contribute some writing.  I'd offer to do artwork as well, but there are far better illustrators to be found.  Still, I'm always available to do miniature work . . .

I was hoping that this was more than a rumor.  

I don't think you'll have any shortage of material to wade through.  I hope you've got someone (or a group of someones) to assist in that respect.

Going through the pains of endeavoring my own print house (in essence), myself, I can relate to some of the things that might come up. If I were not derailed in my own writing gigs for others and myself, I would offer (not that it would be accepted), to help... but, I will do the one thing that is needed most: I'll buy whatever you put out.

I know an artist who might be able to assist. Mr. Ward knows who I'm talking about!  :wink:

Dear Mr. Mentzer:

I would be more than happy to write some adventure material for this new venture. If such matters, I have quite a few OSRIC adventure module credits to my name. As with some other posters on these boards, however, I am most comfortable writing materials compatible with 1st Edition AD&D games such as OSRIC.

Sincerely,
            Alphonso Warden

Not sure if I'd have time to write, those days of all that free time are gone, but you never know.  Otherwise I'd definitely help out with the Pathfinder side of things if that gets going (Play test/Stat blocks/etc).

I submitted "investing," but I'm afraid I meant the $1 EXP type, not what you need just now.  And I will be a willing customer.  Good luck!

I ran an indie record label for two years, worked for Warner Music for two years and have managed my own record label. At all of these jobs I was the production coordinator. I know at first you wont need this but after you start managing stock for 2 or more products I can volunteer my services at managing your stock, print, art files etc... and basically all of your manufacturing schedules. I also know a TON about unique and special packaging and printing techniques...

I basically would do this for free product. :wink:

... that is until it turns into a real day job with real hours  8)

Cheers,
David

If it comes to fruition I have some $$$ but that means me having to forego buying a painting or two down the road:? I'd consider it though.
