Comrades!

For those of you on this list but not the Mythic_Russia_players one,
let me just paste in a post from Newt newport, whose D101 imprint
already produces a very successful fanzine, 'Hearts in Glorantha':

Hi

Bolstered by the success of Hearts in Glorantha (issue2 out now
http://stores.lulu.com/d101games), I have decided with Mark's
permission to do a similar magazine called 'Tales from the Firebird'
for Mythic Russia, which will be published by my D101 Games. I'm
aiming to do at least one issue per year minimum, more if the idea
takes off and I get enough submissions.

Like HiG each issue will be 'Themeless' although if we get a couple
of articles along similar lines that will be the 'Feature' for that
issue. So write what ever takes your fancy and not worry that I'll
turn you down on the grounds that it doesn't match this issues (or
the next's) Theme. Also don't feel that you have to write a long
article, short articles of one or two pages are just as good.

Articles/Scenarios should use the HeroQuest game system as presented
in Mythic Russia, because the aim is that someone who has picked up
the core rule should be able to use the magazine's contents straight
away. So no articles detailing how you would use Savage Worlds to run
a Mythic Russia game.

I've already some material for the first issue lined up, Hanseatic
League homeland and a scenario by CJ Bowser and the two part Claws of
the Wolf scenario (with Teutonic and Lithuanian pregens) which I've
previously ran at conventions. Its my hope that it will be out by
Easter. Although this gives a slightly Baltic flavour, please don't
let this put you off submitting articles about other areas covered in
Mythic Russia.

Authors
First off write a short synopsis of your article, five hundred words
maximum, and send it to me. Then if I like your idea I'll ask you to
submit the full piece.
Submissions should be in Microsoft Word, rich text format with plain
formatting. By all means include a formated version to give me some
idea of how to lay it out, but I must also have the plain text only
version.
Artists
Submissions should be 300dpi images. While I accept unsolicited
submissions it is also useful to contact me before hand to see what
is planned for the next issue. If you are interested in doing a full
colour please get in touch :)

Copyright
Copyright remains with the author/artists. What this means that you
are giving me permission to include your work in the 'zine, . I
however retain full copyright of the physical/electronic medium which
is the 'zine (the way I've laid it out and produced it). This means
that you can ultimately republish your contribution in any form
elsewhere, such as an expanded version in one of Mark's BBC
supplements, but what you can't do is cut and paste the article as it
appears in the 'zine or post a pdf of a scan of the article in the
zine without my permission.

Payment
All contributors will receive a copy of the issue that their work
appears in.

Deadlines
For submissions is end of March, since I'm hoping to release the
first issue just after Easter (end of April).
