Carnel 31 Released

The second part of the Lustria special (the first part was in Issue 28) is now available with plenty of notes on playing characters from the Slann Empire, the creatures of the jungles, the beliefs of the Lizardmen. There are also a few suggestions for setting games in Lustria and Robin Low has some details on the first appearance of the Amazons in the Citadel Compendium.

TimCon III Update

Make a note in your diaries, it looks like the third TimCon is going to be held on the 26th of March. There is likely to be a notice of the final list of games that are being run and details of how to book a place soon.

Dwarf Women Have Beards Too

Issue 3 of this brilliant (if twisted) WFRP zine is out and about. E-mail FrankieAndBeastie@hotmail.com for details.

TimCon

TimConIII has been proposed for April 2005 (most probably on the Easter Bank Holiday). Tim Eccles will have flyers at Dragonmeet 2004.

New CARNEL issues

New issues of carnel are going to be available at Dragonmeet 2004. Issue 28 and issue 29, 28 is dedicated to the WFRP setting of Lustria while 29 is a setting for the World of Darkness set in rural Britain and drawing some inspiration from the Call of Cthulhu setting "Goatswood and other less pleasant places". Hopefully the result will be interesting to players of both games as well as horror gamers in general.

Full details (including cover scans) are available on the carnel webpage as normal. UK subscribers should already have their copies of the issues, international subs as depending on the international post service.

Dragonmeet 2003 Update - The Whisperer joins in

Our second CoC zine has joined in the zine effort at Dragonmeet, Mike Mason's zine The Whisperer will be at the convention.

Between The Whisperer and The Black Seal Cthulhu fans are going to be spoiled for choice!

Fluxus Collection One Published

The first volume of the Fluxus Collection collects together a variety of articles, thoughts and comments from Paul Mason's Fluxus zine. Fluxus appears in the monthly APA zine Alarums and Excursions and continues the wit, erudition and insight of Paul's earlier (and more famous) Imazine but combines it with Paul's love of typography and graphic design.

The first Fluxus Collection is a fascinating and beautiful zine and a joy to read. Find out more at the Fluxus mini-site on the Metazine website.

Dragonmeet Update - Flagship joins in

Flagship, one of the the UK's best PBM and general gaming magazines will be joining the rest of us at the Dragonmeet fanzines table.

Carnel 23 Released

From the release page:

This issue is completely devoted to my latest FRP campaign setting "Mursuiva: The land of the floating island". Mursuiva is a setting strongly influenced by Arabian and Indian stories and rich in magic and high adventure. The first third of the zine is all "in-character" while the middle third is a crash course on the setting for GMs and players a like while the remaining third is given over to an example setting and scenario outline.
