A colour Convention Book will be produced and given free to all attendees on arrival.

We are looking for contributions for this year's Convention Book, whether it is artwork, maps, articles, non-player characters, scenarios, encounters, gaming or GMing advice, settings, stories or anything else you can think of.
We can not pay you but all contributors will receive the heartfelt thanks from the Furnace Committee, the joy of seeing their work in print and a free copy of the Con Book.
All copyright of any material we use in the book remains the authors or artists, so you can use it again elsewhere.
As for word count anything from 1000 to 4000 words. A scenario could be a little more at 6000 maximum.
Formats should be M$ Word 2004 [or lower] or Rich Text Format. If I can copy and paste from PDFs though so they are okay too.
If you have any accompanying artwork I can include that as well or do my own for your article. Artwork can be in colour as the Con Book will be printed in full colour [that will be good for maps!].
The deadline for the Furnace 2008 Con Book is Monday 28th September 2009
If you can send all submissions to darransims AT googlemail DOT com.
Thank you for your time.
