Qtr 31 release! (Halloween 2024)

Post by Joël of the FoS »

La révolution can’t wait any longuer, mon ami, alors voilà!

Here's the link to this year's QtR 31th issue!

It is well over 400 pages and we are very happy to send it your way.

---

And as an added bonus, here's two timelines of domain history and cartography made by Matt Doyle aka Strahdsbuddy, from the Cartographic Society ! We are very happy to host these two files here (they will be added to the FoS ibrary pages).

Close the lights, get the popcorn and open these celluloids!

Here’s the classic version with JW Mangrum timeline, Ryan Naylor’s and Mistipedia added info.

The other version is using Ryan Naylor's Illustrated History of the Core, which adds Domains one at a time as it follows the letter of the books, if not the spirit: click here!

Matt wants to ensure everyone gets their due credit: JW Mangrum and Ryan Naylor, of course, but also Moshe Ratt did all the AI images, and much of the base cartography is David Sutherland's or Pierre van Rooden's.

---

Congratulation to all authors!

Enjoy!

Wow! 409 pages!

Not as big as last time, but still pretty massive!

I hope that there is still room to make edits because apparently the PDF I sent had a paragraph at the top that accidentally got added to the top of the document. (I keep it all as one giant document) and while we're fixing things, we might as well stick on a few more dread possibilities.

So, gentlemen, that's how it is. Until Grissome.... resurfaces, I'm the acting president, and I say starting with this... anniversary festival, we run this city into the ground! :D

OK, in a few days we will open a correction thread, for those who wants to fix stuff for v2.

Here's the link to the revised version: QtR 31th revised issue!

That said, there has been a glitch between versions in my computer and dropbox, and some of the articles have been reformated completely. That is why it took longuer than expected, sorry. Let me know of any problems!
