We host all editions. And if not 3e era, we label them as 4th, or 5th ed RL.
There are good ideas in everything
I can vouch that there's room for the occasional 2nd edition article too.
THAC0
(I miss a bit the old days, it was a lot faster to create NPCs as a DM)
For those who don't know THAC0 is an acronym standing for "To Hit Armor Class 0". It refers to the roll required in 2e for a character to score a hit on an opponent with an armor class of zero, which in turn is used to calculate other attack rolls, natural human AC is 10 in 2e.

I didn't want to derail the QtR29 thread with my THAC0-related reminiscences, but then I went and pointed out the video embedded in your response to the Lady Fordam.
I already have two submissions ready - one is a list of 50 alternative versions of Ravenloft (yes, I know it was the topic of the former issue), and the other is 100 creepy and bizarre road encounters. Will send them soon.

Could we get a link to the format required or an example doc? I have trouble locating it.

I had a problem with my computer (my puppy dog spilled a glass of water on it) and haven't worked as much as I wanted on the ones I suggested. Probably my files are OK and I haven't lost any of the stuff already written (Falkovnia Ministry of Science Part II). I have continued the Markovia article (I believe it goes well). Next thing I want to make is The City Watch Companies) secrets of Nova Vaasa's noble families and pseudo-noble families of Borca. I don't believe I 'll manage the secret societies and Red Vardo Traders on time.

What edition are the adventures for? Or is it a "wait a couple of months and you will find out" situation?

For the moment, both are fluff only, no mechanics. So they can be adapted quickly to any edition.

I have sent finally my first entry I probably will have to limit my contribition to 2 entry this year, the two domains. I'm sorry but real life was demanding this year. I shall send next entry at most the 2 of October, I'm sorry for the delay.
I have sentmy second andlast entry and a little addiction to the Markovia one, and for this year I am done. I'm in time after all, evemìn if not all of what I would have liked to write has been written.
Welp, I was much busier than I expected to be for the time of submissions this year, so I couldn't really get anything in. At least there's next year, right? Plus, it'll be the big 3-0, and there's nothing that says I can't take the stuff I was working on this year and submit it next time (at least, I hope so, I'm rather new to contributing to netzines like this). To everyone else who managed to get their work in, hats off to you all and may the Mists be kind when Halloween rolls around! I'll happily take and steal as many juicy details and pieces of fluff that I can, so I may absorb it into my own abominable patchwork of the Mists that I currently run in my home games...
