The OSR PIT Zine is ALIVE! Now open for submissions

We should make that guy a random encounter in the second issue.

Are we already working on the second issue, and if yes, id there a theme ?

Thereā€™s no work being done on Issue #2 yet and no theme decided upon.

My assumption is that the second issue will be Spring '21, after the holiday season, but thatā€™s just a guess.

Whatā€™s the etiquette for posting my submission to the zine elsewhere? I made the angler toad, and there was a small talk about angler monsters in the OSR discord so I wanted to share my entry there, but the zine is a paid product on Lulu so I donā€™t want to be taking money out of anyoneā€™s pocket.

Fantastic, just wanted to be sure - wasnā€™t sure if any of the money was paying for the layout efforts and such.

Any news on the front of the issue #2?

Not yet. But I definitely would like to do a second issue eventually.

Nope, all volunteer!

I meant to post this a long time agoā€¦but thanks so much everybody for making this happen! I had a great time working on the zine, and it was a great learning experience. I wasnt super active on the forums last autumn, and actually missed the zine coming out. Thanks @maderschramm for laying it all out, from your Youtube video i got the impression it was no easy task, juggling all the submissions into a cohesive whole.

My physical copy arrived a while ago, it was great holding it in my hands.

And Iā€™m definitely down for contributing to #2!

is the zine still an ongoing project? If so I would be happy to contribute whatever, just let me know the theme for the issue. Or if no theme, then any guidance as to the best type of article to provide.

I definitely think weā€™re going to make a second issue, but the theme / submission dates and stuff havenā€™t been determined yet. Glad to have you on board though, the more contributors the better!

Truly, we will be mighty, as the Emperor foresaw.

Iā€™ve been looking at html / wiki to print options lately. Basically a compiled web page that is converted to a print ready page then added to a customised book or pamphlet. That would be a different approach to a zine, which makes the most of current year software. People with contributor privileges can add their pages, and people with editing privileges can edit, remove, shift around content.

Then anyone wanting to print any version of it - add or subtract content, tailor it for their own use - can join as a member of the site with print-only privileges (or greater, but to just print pages - print-only privileges).

Might be a good approach for OSR in general and OSR PIT in particular?
