The Astro Mag: Chronicles update

Hey hey everybody, just a little notice here; Issue 1 is all set to go, all articles in and editing done (yay!). There will, however, be a short delay in getting it out and ready for downloading/viewing by you all, the chap responsible for the “assembly” side of the project is a bit bogged down with work at the minute…

It (hopefully) wont be long now tho, w00t!

Issue 7… Wish List!

Since we make the Mag for you, we want to know what you’d like to see in Issue 7! This can be article ideas, datasheet ideas (for downloadable supplements), or regular features (Homebrew, etc).

This isn’t to say we’re out of article ideas, but it’s no good to put out content that folks aren’t interested in. Make sense? Good!

Cheers all,
Mr C

Contest for Fantasy

The crew running the Chronicles of the Old World has decided on a contest to get more interest going in the Mag.

Interested?   Good, read on:

The contest is a fiction one.  Now, as the issue has a theme of “Evil”, and so Im asking that entries are kept to a similar theme; Orcs, Goblins, Dark Elves, Vampire Counts, Ogres, Skaven and Tomb Kings are all valid races for use in your stories, and we’re looking for between 1500-2000 words here.

Deadline is April 1st, and all entries must be submitted to our email, “thefantasymag@gmail.com”

And yes, there is a prize!  Two for one, in fact, as first place scores a copy of Heldenhammer and Empire, both signed by Graham McNeill!

.

Get writing!

Issue 7 Wants You…

With Issue 6 finally kicked out of the house, it’s time to focus on getting the 7th child out into the world.  The “day of reckoning” is March 15th, and we need your articles, pictures, artwork, commentary et al to make it a smashing hit!

With Issue 7, we are going to try something new with the theme, notably in that there isn’t one!  The shock, the horror, right?  With any luck, this will not make folks feel restricted with what they can send in.

We will also be trying out two new features: Homebrew and Letters to the Editor (Nomad’s idea, not mine!). Both are rather self-explanatory, but if you insist:

-Homebrew: House rules, custom campaigns, missions, units and even an entire army list all fall under this section. I have high hopes for this addition to the Mag.

-Letters to the Editor: this is to print feedback, questions, comments, etc that we get (sadly, we have gotten nothing in these regards other than unadulterated praise).

As always, submit your articles to by emailing them to theastromag@gmail.com.

Now, how can you help in other ways than submitting an article and other content?
