Hi, Im a professional graphic designer, and I watched over, these plans. I think its good for starting, but is really amateur in some ways. If an outsider look at this magezine, he said: oh wow, a nice fanmade stuff.
I belive, with a little more work, this could be really cool magazine. If you need me, just ask. 8)

And here is my portfolio, with a lot of mixed works: https://picasaweb.google.com/bastya.mome/GrafikaiPortfolio

Could you link the latest version?
The text look, and the page's copmosition are that things, what I wanna change. Its hard to explain in english (cause Im Hungarian :) ), but I gona show you my idea.
I would like to give a much more modern style to this magazine. What you did is similar to the original rulebook, but I belive, this could be much better. Do you have a cover yet? The articles will be great, Im sure.

I hope it fits! Pretty curious to what u will make of it. I kinda like the older style.. U know the maps - the old paper touch - elfish letters, runes,...

Thats all good, I like them too. I want to use these items, but in a new way. The old paper bacckground is nice too, but now it is not in harmony with the text and other objects.

It wasn't really a big deal, just some sort of paper background and such.

Hi everyone,
I thought that it would be useful if I put together the planning of the contents and a list of who'd like to help.
So here's my evaluation:
Name
I personally thought of 'The Tales of the West', but there were also good other names: 'The Middle Earth Times', 'The Gwaihir Heraldry', 'The Great Eye', 'The Word of Eru', 'The Istari post', 'The Mirror of Galadriel'

Contents
The main frame was the following, but plz post if you have any other ideas. Some of you might notice that I changed something because some ideas are outdated. Also plz note that if there's no quality article of something, then it won't be in the mag. As General Elessar said: quality is major to quanity
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 answers your questions !
4) THE GOLDEN ERA: If the awards are finished then, pics of the winners will be enterd here, including some small 'intervieuws'
But hopefully, this thing would be off before the awards are finished, so in that case, it would be a gallery of the winners of the monthly competitions
5) A NEW POWER IS RISING: A corsair in red becomes a wraith
#
6) THE MESSANGER REPORTS: Battle report needed!
- Because it's the first issue, keep it simple (you don't have to recreate the pelennor)
- You can choose the point cost yourself, but use realistic allies (no Angmar allied to Harad or hobbits to Rohan)
- I'll say we go for the classic WD style: with some introduction and strategic planning.
- I would also add some more tactical explanations during the report.
- I suggest we do not take 1 battle report writer but different people during the issues, if you're ok with that.
#
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?)
8 INCOMING - THE HOBBIT: What can we expect of the coming movie, what has changed during all those years, what is confirmed and what is not ?
9) THE HALL OF RECRUITS: House Profiles (+ -if someone has a good idea- house rules)
#
10) REALMS OF MIDDLE-EARTH: A special aritcle serie by myself, this features special sbg rules for the different realms of middle earth.
11) Beginner Painting or Painting Technique
12) "ORDERS, SIR ?": A general tactic or two revealed
13) Scenario's/ Campaigns *
#
14) HOSTS OF ... (realm): Army Showcase + member history (If, by example, the article would be about garms great-looking new khand army, it would be shown, with garm being asked about how he painted it etc. Half a page would then be about when he joined the OR, why etc.)
15) An intervieuw with Allan about the hacking attack and rebuilding of the site (+ special thanks of course)

'#' indicate a place where submitted painting/moddeling/basing/terrain articles could be placed. Also comics and story could go in here

People who volunteerd
Note: It's not because your name is on this list you have to participate, it is totally understandable if it turns out you don't have time for this or there has been some sort of misunderstanding!
BlackReaper - Drawings
Drum - Painting, Terrain and maybe a battle report
Garm - Drawing, comics,... (Garm, you post send me so much during these months, so could you maybe gather all your drawings and send them in one go? That would make things a lot easier)
Bastion - Graphic Design
General Ellesar - Anything gaming related
Spuds - Battle Report & Editing ?
Easterling
Myself - Mostly scenarios and house rules + RoME
Sacrilege ?
Ingold - The Horrific Story Untitled, part 1
Anyone else who'd like to participate


Does that capture it ?

Hey Raggbur, I could offer my Easterling High Priest and Lord of Umbar for the House Profiles section. They have had all the kinks worked out of them and, the user Queen Beruthiel, has playtested the High Priest.
