Anniversary Issue

[Adminenkainen]

This fall is the 3rd anniversary of the end of TTC's 4-year run. I plan to celebrate that, and the debut of second edition, with a one-shot anniversary issue.

I already have submissions lined up from three people, but could always use more.

This is what I shared on Facebook already:

My preference would be in this order: articles about Hideouts & Hoodlums, articles about the Golden Age of comics, articles about other RPGs that have Golden Age support material, fanfiction about public domain Golden Age comic book characters, and artwork of public domain Golden Age characters.

All articles and artwork accepted and published in TTC will be paid for. The writer of a published article will be reimbursed 0.002 cents per word. Published artwork will be reimbursed 0.50 cents-$2 per piece, depending on size and quality (to be negotiated individually). Reimbursement will take the form of credit towards future Great Scott! Press products, or,
at the contributor’s choice, to be paid in cash the next time we meet, if I have that much on me.

Looking forward to it!

Any chance of making this a yearly event? "The Trophy Case Annual #X" has abit of a ring to it, don't you think?

[Adminenkainen]

I would like to, yes, but we'll see how long I stay busy on the Mobster Manual after this project.

I've looked at the pages and what I wanted to do -- 10 more drawings for the Major Magus story -- is just going to take me too long to make happen. So I'm imposing on myself a final deadline. Whatever gets done by the 14th is done. The Anniversary Issue is going out at the end of next week, even if the Major Magus story is largely not illustrated, and the art I do have is black and white.

Illustrations are always nice-but IMHO I consider them sprinkles on the cupcake compared to the rest of the content.

Then again, I can't even draw a decent stick figure, so that may just be a case of jealous bias there...

Looking forward to the cupcake any way you decorate it!

[Adminenkainen]

I've plucked some background art out of Captain Marvel Adventures #10 -- that feature none of DC's trademark-protected characters -- and used it to flesh out the rest of the story. It doesn't look as pretty as I'd hoped...but I hope it's still a tasty cupcake!
