Good morning Thomas.

What a pleasant surprise for a Sunday morning. I've downloaded OM16 and taken a quick look through it. Looks excellent, as usual.

PS. I may have some stuff to offer for the next issue.

Now that sounds realy good. Feel free to mail me whenever you want to discuss how we can organise that as best as possible

Good stuff & nice to see my Cultural Gazzetteer of the Near south in! I won't be able to read it yet, still busy with AiME!

I am thinking of a similar piece for Mordor if you're interested

Great work (as usual!) even if some of the detail can be a little intimidating it's always of a high standard and obiviously carefully researched. A personal plea: please keep the miniature discussions and articles going. I know we can often sneer at people that use them in their games but I also like them as simply objet d'art as well as their usage at the gaming table. The commentary provided in the articles is also fun to read - especially with regard to GWs range of Drwarves from The Hobbit!

I'm happy to hear that you like it - and especially various parts and not only one of them

@ Robin: Of course I'm interested. Just mail me what you have and like to be published and we can work on the details.

@ Rich: The minis will definitely stay - we still have a lot of races left, so as long as José Enrique does not lose his interest (which is unlikely IMO), we'll see a couple of further miniature articles

Cheers

Glad you like it! I plan to run a poll shortly in the Other Minds Facebook page to chose the topic for the next Middle-earth in Miniature article.

By the way, I'm running on the Other Minds FB group to let you choose the topic of the next article. If you feel like taking your pic, here you are the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/othermi ... e/?fref=ts

Nice news! OM is a very high quality fanzine!

[Dunkelbrink]

Thank you for a great issue! Interesting and useful articles and Farenthal's adventure (which is the only contribution I've read in detail so far) is truly delighting!
