Good Luck, You're on your Own! (T2K Fanzine Thread)

[Raellus]

Thanks!

Thanks for putting it all together, Grimace. It looks great. I appreciate how you added pics to my article. Well done, sir. Thanks again!

Very very good stuff - a great read for sure!

Especially loved the African article by Raellus. In my opinion it was easily the equal of many of the articles published in Challenge so long ago.

Still working on my own East Africa Sourcebook and should have it ready soon - and will see about getting you something from it for the next fanzine issue. May take a piece out of it for an article - possibly on the nuclear attacks in Africa which are part of it. My sourcebook has a different approach on Kenya than what Raellus has but that is the thing that makes Twilight 2000 such a great game - i.e. that freedom to innovate within the framework of the overall design of the game and the backstory.

Cant wait for the next issue and I hope for many others as well to come!

Marvelous work, gentlemen. The hat is off.

[HorseSoldier]

Good stuff. I'm liking it.

[headquarters]

awesome

like you Yanks say- "ah-sum!!

well done!

[Grimace]

I'm glad you guys are liking it!

Make sure you guys spread the word about it! Tell your friends, tell people that you know used to like Twilight: 2000. Maybe it'll rekindle some interest in the game for others.

I'm sure you guys visit other places that I don't, so the more people out there spreading the word about it, the more coverage it'll get.

Nice , what a treat.

I have 80% plus of the Challenge portfolio and have read most more times than I can count.

With few exceptions (Air Module 1-2, Red Maple, The Village, a few others) the official works don't hold much of a candle to what you guys did...no offense to any of the original authors.

Issue 1 really is that good...fantastic work all around...can't wait for issue 2!

Wow. Nice work.

[Raellus]

I have a better idea. Email the mag to me and I'll put it on my site.

I like this idea. In my opinion, the more exposure the fanzine gets, the better. I'd also like to make this thread (or a similar one) a sticky so that it's always prominently displayed on this site. IIRC, Kato's forum and Paul's site usually end up near the top of the Twilight 2000 Google search results.

[Grimace]

I used the email function on this site to send to Paul, but I couldn't attach the file. I requested an email back, so then I could send the file. Just waiting on that.

I also agree, that the more places this is available, the better it'll be. Likewise, it'll be good if everyone that likes it helps spread the word about it. More views = hopefully more interest in the game
More interest = hopefully more contributors, which means more issues

So, Paul, check your email.

[Raellus]

Sticky

I took the liberty of sticking this thread. I didn't consult with Kato or the other moderators so hopefully they're OK with it. If not, it might be unstuck later on.

I just want to make sure that this thread and its accompanying links to GLYOYO doesn't drop out of view over time. I'd like every new viewer to see it.

I replied to Grimace. I've been asleep all day. (It happens.)

Did Time Warner not accept the email with the attachment It would be strange; I've had people send me up to 10MB attachments.

[pmulcahy11b]

OK, here it is...

http://www.pmulcahy.com/PDFs/good_luck_youre_on_your_own_issue_1.pdf

I also found that two files that are listed on the PDF page were not actually on the site, so I fixed that.

The capitalized "PDF" in the address is important -- it must be capitalized.

The PDF page in of itself is the same; just lop off the "Good Luck..." part of the address.

Have a question - are you only looking for things that are new for the fanzine or can we post things there that were previously posted here

The USN section and the Raellus piece on the 173rd had been posted here but were fleshed out for the fanzine. However there are some excellent things that have already been posted here that probably could go directly into the fanzine as is.

Stuff like:

49th Armored Division

The list of stuff that could be found by players instead of just the usual weapons, spare parts and food.

The Falklands Islands Sourcebook

Just wondering
