I just wanted to point out a series that is ongoing over at The Core Mechanic blog titled, "The Skill Challenges of War". The series is written by myself and two guest authors from the blogs Mad Brew Labs and At-Will. If you are looking for some interesting skill challenges for your 4E games that are set in a war-time campaign setting, come check it out!

peace and happy holidays to everyone!


The 2008 Anthology of Roleplaying Game Blogs project, organized by OPEN GAME TABLE and The Core Mechanic, continues making steady progress. As of today, I have received over 200 reviews already from a very dedicated group of Anthology Reviewers. The very first draft of the book's framework is also done and discussions about artwork and style have started in earnest. Which brings me to the topic of this post: ARTISTS. The Anthology would not be complete without a showcase of illustrations and other graphics produced by blog authors and readers. Thus, starting today, we will be looking for a few interested artists. Specifically, we are looking for

1. Full-color, front and back cover illustrations,
2. Interior black and white illustrations and graphics:
1. full-page illustrations, and
2. a series of smaller spot graphics and illustrations
3. banner, border, and page number design

Now, first and foremost allow me to say that we cannot pay for these illustrations. The Anthology is a completely volunteer project and any money gained from sales of the book will be used to provide free copies to contributing authors, artists, and volunteers. We understand that professional artists may be looking for a fee for their work; and we wish we could pay for top quality art from these artists, but there are simply no funds available at this time. Thus, Anthology Artists will be given the same benefits as the contributing authors, which are: as funds become available, they will each receive a free copy of the book and be permitted to purchase additional copies at wholesale prices. Artists will be credited by name and will also be permitted to submit a brief bio along with an URL to their own website.
