OK, we've had a good response from the community so far so I've decided to set a deadline and publishing date for the first edition of The LARPing Times.
The first edition will be released on June 1st, the cut off point for submissions is Sunday 15th of May. Anything coming in after midnight will have to be rolled over to the next edition.
The magazine will be available through an e-book download for free and a print-on-demand book through Lulu costing about £3 to cover printing costs. Both will be available from the same date.
I'm looking forward to reading your submissions.

A Beginning
- Jonathan Coulton
"You should write a book or two and start a magazine,
Even if it never makes a dime"
Welcome to LARPing Times, a newly started LARPing publication covering all aspects of the Live Action RolePlaying hobby. For those wondering what LARPing is have a look at Wikipedia.
The aim of this project is to produce an unbiased view on the LARPing passtime, including reviews of systems, where to buy kit, interviews and game running guides. There will be articles posted on this blog along with a regular publication available as a free download or a print-on-demand magazine.
All content will be copyrighted under a Creative Commons Attribution, non commercial, share-alike License. Meaning that anyone can share, remix and reproduce the articles so long as it's not for profit and credit is given. For more information have a look at the creative commons license site: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/
This is a community driven, non-profit publication. So what we really want is to get the community involved as much as possible. We're looking for any articles you want to send us on the topic of LARPing, be it how to make or repair your weapons, which systems you should go to, where to buy the best kit or anything else that comes to mind. We're also looking for cover art, general LARPing photo's and images to try and make it look as polished and professional as possible.
If you're interested, and you own the work or have the permission of those who do, then send your submissions to larpingtimes@gmail.com.
