Curriculum Vitae (Current as of 2.16.14)

There is now an online index of Fight On! articles assembled by “elf23” from the Original Dungeons & Dragons Discussion forum. It contains a list of all the articles appearing in issues #1-#13 and can be viewed by issue, article, author, and other criteria. If you’ve ever wondered who contributed to what issue or what exactly appears in a magazine you don’t own, go check it out.

That’s the important part of this post and what follows is mere vanity on the part of the author. Upon examining the FO! index, I realized that it’s getting to the point where I don’t necessarily recall all that I’ve written for various projects and publishers. My body of work is not extensive, so I fear it’s my collapsing mental faculties that are to blame for this. To help combat this encroaching decrepitude, I’m listing my current oeuvre for reference and as a reminder to myself. I’ve got more irons in the fire for 2013 and look forward to expanding this list as announcements are made.

Do you know anything about when the next issue is coming out? I feel like we are in a dry spell. Fight On! and Knockspell haven't come out in a while and Encounter seems to be dead. Does this lull have anything to do with anything (has interest or the will and/or means to publish them dried up)? I liked them all.

Fight On! #14 is in layout now after several delays and is estimated for a January release. Since it's a one-man show behind the scenes, it's inevitable that these things happen.

I have no information on the status of Knockspell or Encounters. I recall Knockspell was looking for submissions a while back, but I'm not even sure who's publishing it these days.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it.

Hi Mike!

I ran Emirikol Was Framed for players young and old today (and some of the younger players were more experienced than the older ones) and we had a great time!

I actually embedded it in a sort-of-ongoing AD&D campaign, so the tower was tackled by an Illusionist, Thief, Assassin, and Monk, and they made it out (mostly) alive. But it was super-fun, for sure.

Looking forward to more of your stuff in 2013!

Thanks for the kind words, Timothy. I'm glad the group had fun in the Shifting Tower!
