Fight On! #3 dedicated to Bob Bledsaw

Posts: 3 · Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 4:44 pm

Fight On! is the new fanzine dedicated to old school fantasy gaming. Issue #3 will be dedicated to the memory of Bob Bledsaw. In addition to the normal mix of how-to articles, adventures, and new monsters/magic items/spells, we plan to include one or more articles by friends and associates of Bob. Bob's son has kindly granted us permission to use JG copyrights and trademarks for this issue and we've got Rob Conley working on a Wilderness Map #19 as one of the highlights of the issue.

Submissions are still open, so if you've got something you'd like to say about Bob, the Wilderlands, or Judges Guild we'd love to hear from you. Or if you want to contribute an adventure or any of the other usual game zine fodder, please feel free to contact me (jrients@gmail.com) or the editor (iggyumlaut@gmail.com). The deadline for submissions for issue three is 9/1. If you've got an idea for something that needs more time, please contact me right away.

This is a fanzine, not a professional outing, so our writers do it for the love of the hobby without compensation. The print edition is print-on-demand via Lulu.com, so even the editor pays for his own copy. Submissions remain the property of their creators, by submitting you grant Fight On! only the right to use the work in the issue it originally appears.
