Weredragon Magazine is looking for contributions

Reposted here

WereDragon Magazine is currently seeking freelance writers to create adventures, articles and guides for our readers. Those interested submit their idea to us at submissions@weredragonmag.com. The game systems we are currently accepting adventures and articles for include D&D 3.5 and soon GURPS. We judge on the quality of your work, not on references, so first-timers are welcomed and encouraged.

We are also looking to fill the positions of on-call editors. Experience with formatting and editing stat blocks is a huge plus, but not a necessity. We would prefer editors with playing experience in a wide variety of gaming systems. Basic copy editing skills are a must. If you believe that you can do the job but don't have the experience, we will give you a chance to prove yourself. Please email your qualifications to jobs@weredragonmag.com for consideration.

2 Pounds or 350 Pennies

2 Pounds or 350 Pennies

350 pennies, $3.50 is all it takes. All it takes to get what should have cost you about $20.00. All it takes is $3.50 and here is why you should spend that much money on a gaming magazine.

The focus is on Weredragon Magazine. This is the new addition to the online gaming resource world, which is found at http://weredragonmag.com. Yes I am associated with the magazine. Helping out where I can, mostly with the advertising focus. Yes we are looking for ads for the upcoming issues. Drop a line at advertising@weredragonmag.com for rates and to discuss this.

Next up is why you should go buy this pdf of a magazine. Consider this. For only 350 pennies you get 100 pages of magazine.
Now go and pick up a copy of the only print magazine for OGL gaming that is out on the streets. A recent issue ran to 70 pages (chock full with advertising goodness) at $7.99 (minus my 10% discount at the large chain bookstore plus 7% tax here in Florida). Compare that to 100 pages (6 articles / columns and 3 adventures) for $3.50 and no tax for the online purchase.
So right away this makes it a good deal. Dollar wise. Now if you go look at most adventures published now a days they run to about a dollar for every 5 pages of content. Go check that out yourself. So using that formula lets see what Weredragon Magazine Issue 1 should come in at.

So there is a total of 64pages of adventures. At $1 per 5 pages that comes out to be a cost of $12 rounded down. So already just paying $3.50 for this magazine makes it less than 1/4th the cost it really could be. There is enough incentive right there.
Add in 12 pages of the articles and columns, and now there really is no reason to not spent some of your gaming dollars right there. Add in that the fact that an entire year of issues comes out to be a whopping $14.00 (about the single cost of a 90 page game book which is under the page count of issue 1) and there is no financial reason at all the not patronize Weredragon.

Content wise it is all 3.5 / OGL focused. Nothing for the new 4th Edition, but there are those online subscription magazine things for content available to those gamers. There are negotiations ongoing for official permission for content from other game systems as well. Making this as a purchase choice even easier to decide to take.

By the way the title for this came from wondering how much 350 pennies should weigh. So a little Internet sleuthing led me to 2.615 grams per penny making it 2 pounds (rounded down) for 350 pennies. A lot easier to just buy your own copy online instead of mailing 2 pounds to buy one otherwise.
