1. That is really nice.

2. Hey J-Walt, what fonts are you using? I love it!

3. Love the title. Grim Portents are an adventure design element that I will take with me to every trad game I run.

4. Cool!

5. BLACK METAL

6. Oh boy ! It’s great ! I’m getting very impatient to see the final product.

7. Looks really nice!

8. Sage LaTorra The metal font is the incredibly named Tfu Tfu. The readable one is the always-useful Bebas.

9. Whoooa! Can’t wait!

10. Thanks! I’ve been looking for free fonts to use in publicly available templates, seems like it might be worth leveraging what you’ve already got.

11. It’s really hard to read “Grim Portents”. It’s a leading and tangents thing instead of a typeface thing.

    Sage LaTorra League Gothic and Oswald are other free versions of Alternate Gothic. They’re really similar to Bebas, but with small variations that may or may not suit you.

12. Brennen Reece I thought only being able to read text when you already knew what it said was particularly metal. But, yeah, I’ll take a look at that before making it final. Thanks for the feedback.

13. How and in what format will this be distributed?

14. Joachim Erdtman That’s a question for Chris Sakkas. I’m just the humble cover designer. My sense is it’s a free, entirely CC (i.e. open content) PDF zine.

15. In my opinion the name is not readable enough…

16. Joachim Erdtman, Grim Portents 1 will release as a free-of-charge, free culture PDF (ODT source file available too) some time before February. I won’t be distributing print versions of the zine myself, but with the Creative Commons licences that we’re using anyone else could do so.

17. Will there be letters to the editor? An editorial column? A comic strip?

    I must know.

18. There will be never-seen-before art from three artists, death-dealing base classes, death-obsessed compendium classes, new monsters (most of which are cold, wet or dead), icy templates and an adventure with winter spirits … so people responded pretty faithfully to the Dead of Winter theme!
