Well, there certainly seems to be a lot of interest in this idea, which is great to see. The Tengwar Beacon was a noble concept but only made it into 3 issues - why? Because article submissions dry up quickly and because it becomes a chore to produce all on your own.

I tried to do something like this with Exploring Middle-earth, but it grew too big and became a major drain on my time - and that is the risk you face with this project, as I see it.

The OR can provide a forum for you if you really want one - are you serious about producing something like this?

Yes... But maybe we could try 1 or 2 issues and see how it goes ?

Yeah, sure, no problems at all. Give it a try and see how things work out. If it succeeds, then fantastic! If it doesn't then I'm sure it'll still be a magnificent effort and worth the time and energy - so go for it!

Woo-Hoo!! I noticed this thread a couple months late but still..Hmm,for what I can do I might be able to submit an article or two but I'm with GarmenHord with being able to do sketchs and drawings(at the very lest I'd LOVE to sketch out background snips and the like,say maybe a different background for the table of contents each time).I don't have any of my LotR drawings on hand,plus I'd have to skan them in but I used to draw a lot of a D&D campaign a few years back(even then it was pretty good) so..Just let me know on what needs doing and I can help(or die trying). --Nate--

Sorry, I'm posting so late but I'm making up this repost for the third time

Reaper:
Great idea! Count yourself in if you want!

@ Spud
The first 'The Messenger Reports'
- Because it's the first issue, I'll go for a 4-man report (4 different armies)
- You can choose the point cost yourself, but use realistic allies (no Angmar allied to Harad or hobbits to Rohan)
- Maybe use some of the 'new' minis ? Or just the profile to represent something, like Gundabads ro represent Dol Guldor great-orcs ? ~ [doesn't really have to]
- I'll say we go for the classic WD style: with some introduction and strategic planning. But I would also add some more tactical explanations during the report
- If you don't want to do such a big report (which is understandable), it's ok of course.
BUT I suggest we do not take 1 battle report writer but different people during the issues, if you're ok with that.

@ Drum
1. People may always pm me for submiting articles
- wat could someone submit:
' Battle Reports
' tactical articles
' painting articles and painting techniques
' comics, short stories,...
' moddeling articles
' scenarios (preferbly combined in a campaign*)
' ...
2. I'm 'looking for':
' tactical analyser (for a proffesional tactical word, 'instruction' details may vary from time to time) => could maybe write the 'new release' analyse or unit analysing [Ellessar ?]
' drawers (garm ?)
' Graphic development etc. needed! (look at my design... eh... :oops: )
' Rangers! Yes, rangers! The journalists of The Tales of the West, people who intervieuw others (bex. for the 'Hosts of ...'), or produce articles together with them. Someone could bex. create a collum about the 'Paint me an Army' wip forum or create an article about the campaign system of TheFlameoftheWest...


Here's again my first draft of the mag. be aware that there's alsomoddeling, painting... between the articles
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 = 1 formation + 1 hero / 1 formation including a hero & SBG: troop type + hero; maybe based on the tactical discussions?)
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: 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) ... (see post on page 2)


* I suggest we'll do the first campaign about the fellowship (up to the writer when it's before the events at the Anduin, after, during the war in Rohan / Gondor, after the Wotr,...)
** Any question you'd like to hear Sauron answering them, pm them to The Eye ! (Alan, ok with that ?)

I'll do anything gaming related: tactics, battle reports, house-rules, new stats, new scenarios, etc.

I'd be most glad to help out in the magazine. I could do a battle report, painting tips or anything terrain related.

@ reaper
I was actually more looking something of The Great Eye / The Barad-Dur

@ Ellessar
Would you mind to be the writer of The Barrack ? Pick any unit/troop types you want, but just make sure there's a link between them (same region, rank, friends/arch enemies of each other,...)

@ Drum
Terrain articles maybe ? I was thinking on the sort of things you find in 'how to make wargames terrain'

@ Spud
Can I count you in for that report, or do you prefer to do another tactical article ?

I would be happy to do the barracks, but I don't understand what it is. Would I just be giving the pros and cons, along with some tactics, for a unit in WotR and SBG?

Third time again I have to write this...

1st
I forgot another part of the mag: "Orders Sir ?"
Here, 1 tactic will be explained (unspecified to an army), how to lead a good cavalry charge bex.

@ General Elessar
Yes, you pick x and tell people how these units/troops/heroes can be used most effectivly, with what sorts of other units/troops they go best,...
[But if you more like to do 'Orders Sir ?', you can switch of course]

@ Reaper
Slightly bigger then your drawing of tMoS

Oh and I think the Great Eye is now able to answer some questions before he's going to conquer Middle-Earth
