Call for content for Scrolls Of Skelos: Cache One

[Primeval]

Hello all, it is time to start working on content for the first issue of our fan-made PDF magazine, Scrolls of Skelos.  Here is what we need:

 

• Scenarios for 1 hero, 2 heroes, 3 heroes, and 4 heroes - we will probably have one of each but possibly more depending on several factors
• Pictures of painted miniatures
• A turn by turn "battle report" (with pictures) of an official Monolith scenario
• Fan art
• We are open to ideas for another article to include; we will already have one on scenario creation but if you have other ideas please let us know

 

This is a community, fan-made FREE creation - please submit with this in mind; no compensation is available.

There is other content already assigned, but I'd like to keep that under wraps as much as possible to keep some surprises and excitement for the actual release.

 

Please PM me here, at Barbaric Splendor on Facebook, or via email at barbaricsplendor@gmail.com

Hello Primeval, as explained on FB: Ok for me for the 2 heros scenario + the new map (I uploaded it today in the French part of the Overlord) + I'm traducing the scenario (which is already available in French : https://www.conan-scenarios.com/scenarioPage.php?MissionId=1292&fbclid=IwAR3gaMzIGuhUMLpu0UHnT3VlPJ7453eyMcDIkqVhznJI9Ft8ixKNQqvfvtE

I can help you out with the translation if you want. I was part of the translation team of the first Compendium, so I have some experience.

Done, check your PM!

[Gull]

Thank you !!

[Primeval]

Just a quick note that although I have been a bit silent, the project is coming along - I will be working on layout this month and playtesting my Kull scenario, but I mostly have the content. If anything else is needed I will be sure to put out a call for it!

[Gull]

Great,

Don't hesitate if you need help, rereading or else !

Have a good day

How will this be made available? PDF, print, both?

 

[Primeval]

I will only be doing a PDF version.

It the page count is a multiple of 4, then there are print on demand presses that will print them and staple them together.

I did not know this - thanks for sharing; I will make sure to keep this in mind so that people can easily get this printed out.

What happens is the pages get printed on double sized paper. The ordering is worked out such that you can just fold these printed pages down the middle and staple. The digital presses now provide full automation of this. They really love you if you provide in CMYK encoded colour scheme, 300dpi and the left and right text margins for manuscript pages should not be less than 7/8ths (0.875). Page Bleed is usually around 1/8". I think one can have the cover be image that goes over margins--however the requirements for this will vary depending on the printer. The presses today are fairly accurate, but things happen on the way to the folder and cutter and it's a generally safe assumption that any print could be shifted 1/8" of inch on the paper and designing around this.
