What to Read in the Dark
Is there a story you want told? Are there problems you can only trust Explosive Runes to solve? Do you have questions for the staff? Do you want to share your opinion about one of the printed pieces? If so, this is the thread for you.

Hello,
I have an artwork that I think might be relevant to this publication. I'm not sure how to proceed. Admin Dirk pointed me here, but I'm not quite clear on the submission process.

Hey Gath,
We just set up a submission thread, here. We're still looking for alternative methods of art submission, but for now this is what we have. Thanks for your interest!

Yes, I saw that, but it is labeled as Information and doesn't look like a place to post content, or anything, really.
I would like to know where I should paste my image link or to whom I should PM it. Or at least to confirm that I should post in the brand new, untainted "Information Submissions" thread.

I've removed the "information" tag.
You may post it in the Art Submission Forum or PM it directly to me, whichever you prefer.

Love the concept of themed issues.
Are you announcing the themes of upcoming editions so that art or story pitches can be made with those in mind?

So the next issue will be 'normal' fantasy fanfare. Since the majority of gameplay on the site focuses on that and 5e or PF1. There has been some discussion of Summer 2023's theme but nothing has been decided. If you/anyone has ideas feel free to toss them into the ring. Though please keep in mind we need to make sure we can actually generate a full issue out of the suggested theme.

Hi
I made a little drawing you might like. The Policy document got me a little confused. Could you lead me through the exact steps for submitting my work, please? Also, there is something i'm not very comfortable with, and i hope to have your advice on.

Much of the document is written in a way to cover us from multiple angles, and it is quite possible that parts of it don't really relate to what you want to submit.
1. Captions for example, for a map. Room numbers, schematics, etc... 2. It means something along the lines of if it is in some form of print or digital media (not like imgur) in which you received money or rights for the work, like a coffee table book or an adventure module. 3. I'm not sure what your question is here. Normally people PM myself or Admin Dirk with stuff but we also created a submission thread for people to submit things. 4/5. This isn't about the work so much as, if someone submitted something and their only copy was here and then we had to ban them for some reason, they lose access to their art and that isn't our problem. In all honesty, the policy is there to protect Explosive Runes and the site. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you
My drawing was made for the magazine, but maybe it can be considered acceptable in a Library thread. I'd get my visibility and you guys could decide on the level of quality. Then perhaps we can talk about creating something else for the ER, on your terms I also had a few ideas to share, including an alternative to your current policy and method of handling submissions. You'll find them enclosed below.

I have a few questions of the famous Explosive Runes staff. If one wanted to submit a story how would one go about it? Do you have rules about what can be written about? Can it be a knockoff of a series, like say Glen Cook's Black Company Chronicles, or does it have to be original? What is the word count limit? Is there a place we can find what upcoming themes might be? These are the burning questions we of the RPGX community have been chewing over for eons.

There is no word count limit, however we prefer shorter pieces under 3000 words. You can basically write about anything you want as long as it follows site rules, most notably being PG13. While the next issue is slated to be a themed issue, we have not formalized which theme we are going to use yet. We also have not received any feedback on whether people enjoy the themed issues. Should your piece not fit in the themed issue, it can easily roll over into the next issue. I am unfamiliar with The Black Company but the the works we publish must be original, previously unpublished, and not violate copy right laws. Since Glen Cook and Tor Fantasy still hold the copyright to the material this means you would either need written permission or the work needs to fall under fair use. I'm not a lawyer so I can't give actual legal advice, but this would be easier to answer if the author was one who has publicly stated they don't mind fanfiction, ie Gaiman or Pratchett. If you would like to discuss the details of your interest more feel free to PM me or respond here in the thread.

Explosive Runes is taking submissions for its Spring 2023 issue!
The upcoming issue theme is EVIL. Sharpen those cursed blades, bring those foolish heroes to their knees, and let's hatch some dark schemes!
