TA Writing Rules

[Jame]

What are the rules for writing a TA?

 

[Flynn]

Jame,

I think you'll find everything that's available on the subject from this page:

Hope this helps,
Flynn

Except that bodycopy is 8pt arial, not 9pt. That's the only errata I know of in the submissions section.

 

[Michael Taylor]

I reckon the point of view one should take when writing EAs and TAs is the POV of the harrassed ref who desperately needs some great material to throw at the players when they suddenly deviate from their chosen jump route and end up on some godforesaken rockball in the middle of nowhere.

Does that URL apply for CotI website articles? Or are those not being accepted anymore?

 

[Michael Taylor]

If does apply to coti articles as far as I am aware.

 

[Michael Taylor]

MJD will be able to tell you if he is still accepting cotl articles. I believe he still is, but dont take my word for it.

 

[tjoneslo]

MJD has said please drop him a note about sending him a CotI article before sending the actual article.

 

[Ben W Bell]

Oh one of the other rules is probably, if you start one then finish it. <hits self for not finishing current before starting something else>

 

[Jame]

Thanks Flynn! It helps.

That reminds me, Ben, have you had a chance to think about TA Naval Bases?

 

[MJD]

One concept for the TA line is world books - detail a single world with a bunch of adventre ideas there. Worlds in Gateway Domain are best for now.

 

[Flynn]

Sounds a lot like an EPIC with a shift of focus, more on the world data and less on a lengthy adventure. That's very interesting...

Man, my list of ideas just keeps getting longer,
Flynn

 

[MJD]

In essence, yes. An EPIC is an adventure with source material. This would bea detailed look at a place with adventure ideas (GKs and Odd Jobs)

 

[Flynn]

Okay, this one should galvanize a lot of Land Grab efforts into something that could become true canon. That's a challenge a lot of people will probably be willing to take, in order to share their vision with others.

Looking forward to seeing some of those results,
Flynn
