GLN # 16 Needs YOU!
Hi,
For my sins, I've offered to edit the next couple of Grotty Little Newsletters (GLNs).
The GLN is FUMBBL's house newsletter, and 15 glorious issues have graced our fair corner of the Internet since 2003.
I remember that when I joined FUMBBL, one of the first things I did was enjoy reading through each and every GLN, learning things about the site, about tactics, and about what makes the site tick. I was really pleased to be interviewed for one issue, and then be published afterwards; it's a bit of a FUMBBL honour! I hope not to screw up the editing gig...
I'd like to publish our 16th edition in April, so this is our call to arms! Do you have fluff, tactical advice, FUMBBL commentary, Blood Bowl thoughts, advertisements, obituaries, artistic 'how to's or any other musings to offer us? Or perhaps you have something you'd really like to see in an issue, but you're not sure how to write it? All thoughts, ideas and genius to this thread, if you please!
Let's make GLN # 16 a stormer!

Not sure if this has been done before, but interviews with some of the big teams would be interesting. Or some of the big coaches, or even ones that have just won a major, asking them a serious of questions kinda like a post match report with tons of fluff.

or a perspectives article. Interview a few coaches that have been here since the beginning (2003) and ask the same questions also to a few coaches that have been here less than a year. See what they see similar and different.

Arktoris, you've been here since 2004, are you a good person to write that article? :)

A centerfold of certain coaches? Guess there are enough who would gladly contribute to the cause. I can cleary picture "those 2-3 guys" in an epic pose. Can you? ;D
Also there should be a column were one guy just rants about how bad everything is about bb/ fumbbl, how rotten the stack, how miserable the people, how broken this rule, how broken that skill ect ect. Then when finished closes the column every time properly with a grumpish comment before getting back to gamefinder.
To meet the qualifications to be that column writer that guy would need to have just the qualifications needed to write that column, id say.
Also there could be issues with little gimmicks like a cardboard penholder of nuffle where you ram the pen in his tummy...or...yeah...i mean... *sigh*

All great ideas, keep 'em coming!

Apojar has done superb fluff on grading our league's draft (The NBFL... that "drafts" players that graduate the NCBB). It's witty commentary, Bloodbowl team management tactics, interviews, etc... he's put a lot of work into it and it's damn near finished. Just the last two picks to go. I'm sure he'd have it finished by publication time. It ain't a short read, though. It's a fairly well thought out examination of the 32 teams in the league. You can check it in the forums.

If he'd like it to go in, great.
GLN content should be original, though. If it's already in the forum, it might be best left there?

As I said in the GLN thread, I'll contribute a fluff piece on my Twin Leaps (wood elf) team.
