Sorry for doubble posting, but i think to long have passed from the old post to edit:

Oh and an idea, I dont know how the Admins, Bob and THunt feels about this, but; We could allow for people to have Advertisement in the newsletter, say for a small donation of voluntary size, to Goblins or something, or as thanks for some work they do on Goblinscomic or one of its subsides (forum, Wiki and newsletter) I dont know... just a small idea...
-Best regards LAYF

Just want to bring something up that is being ignored here. We don't have a way to set up an emailed newsletter. The group setting allows people to receive messages from the group in the forum, but there isn't a way to send emails through it. Now... you could attach a PDF as a supplemental option, but I think that you are getting way ahead of yourself as we don't really have anyone willing to do the reporting and without that everything else is a moot point.

What would do the reporting involve?

Just writing stories about what's going on in the various forums. Maybe write about some of the speculation about the comic, what new games have started up, if anything noteworthy has happened in the community. It wouldn't be a major undertaking though, I just don't have time for it so it's up to everyone else.

I'll be in charge of new update speculation. I frequent it daily and read every post. When do I start?

P.S. We'll need to write this with some kind of spoiler alert.

► Show Spoiler
Here lies a simple first draft sample of my work. I read through every post and typed of the ones that dealt with speculation as to what may happen. I decided to keep it short given that 1. I'm not sure the word or size limit expected of my reports and 2. I have a test tomorrow.

The posts I've referenced are from Orzahn, Ziprath, predator, willpell, and Alarikun. I figure I'll either cite the speculations with shout outs like I've done here or use the more proper numbered citations similar to those used in academia. Though I've read through all the posts, I've only selected a few to represent the speculation I've found about the comic. I have a lot of material to work with and there is plenty of room to expand so all the posts are appreciated.

This is an update.


We have some writers now, but we still miss some. Here are the still open jobs:

Games forum reporter.
Controversy forum reporter.
Translation forum reporter (if things ever speed up)
Someone who writes funny/nonsense things.
Small comic strip maker (This one is not urgent as the others)

If anyone wishes to submit an article, even if only a 1 time one, please do so and PM me. I'm planning on posting the first issue in the following month, in case we are able to.

No news because no interest from people. If people want it to live we need writers, reporters, something.

I can certainly help with the small comic strip maker, however weekly may be a bit too much for me. Perhaps I can team up with another artist and do it bi-weekly?
