Um, most of you (all excluding mac) dont have an e-mail in the profile.

And to say, i dont have a real idea on how this would look like. We'll need to think how would it be.

For now i can think of a HTML based e-mailed Version.

I'm a graphic designer, so I could probably contribute a little on the layout/design of the newsletter itself as well as graphics. I can also proof/edit when necessary.

I think distribution should fall into either an on-line site (HTML) accessible by all, by PDF, or by e-mailed text file. Obviously, delivery method depends on what you want people to get (info vs. pretty pictures).

As for time, I advise a monthly. It'll be heftier when it comes out and may require better management, but with peoples' daily lives and establishing deadlines for the newsletter, it'll require more time for coordination.

Who knows, this may turn out to be a nice resume entry: "contributed to on-line published community newsletter with circulation of 10,000"

Gentlemen,

I have a few published books and papers under my belt (subject: mortality and morbidity in the elderly -- so don't think they are exciting or anything) so I think I can give you some good help with this venture.

I like the ideas about including some PBW Game "on-the-scene" reporting in each issue. The possiblity for role-playing and general fun is high. Simply maintaining a situation report for each game would be interesting.

Keeping this to a monthly rag, or at most a bi-weekly publication would be best. Then you have time to collect some quality content, edit and revise then publish.

As always...I am glad to help.

Cheers!
Trajan

Well great, it seems that we have all the people we need. Should we get going?

Should the discussions be held here or thru e-mail?

IMHO, discussions could be held both ways here on this or set up seperate thread and thru emails for those times the discussion is not necessary for thread or privacy correspondence is wanted/needed....

By having some of it here on the forum it would give imput by all members and even create new ideas for the newsletter and invigorate interest.

The only questions I have, is should it include other game information or restrict it to just se4?

I have no objection to using both

just some ideas mac
