You know, I meant to actually compile a list after completing this list. I often get hit my real life and an abundance of ongoing projects though ^^;
There are a lot of in-universe brands though, mostly shown through storefronts and billboard ads ^^ As I have work I'm doing on a few projects I'll try not to obsess over this right now, but may be back at some point with lists! -
Awesome! I approve muchly
I shall keep those saved for the next issue and may comment on them on the blog if I feel the pull to write some random IC geekery ^^
-
The new blog is setting up here. Just a couple of posts to stop it being an empty space but I will be adding more soonish.
-
Alright, real life and computer issues have intervened but I am back to working on this! I am still in desperate need of content and welcome anything you fine people have to offer.
I am also in the process of setting up a Kapow! blog to post articles and gossip on and welcome contributors for that (I will keep you updated on how it progresses). I will be using the blog to post some of the articles for the next issue when I get them as well so you can see progress and get a sneak peek of the upcoming 'print' issue. -
New Featured Articles on the Handbook
It's been a little longer than I'd originally hoped but I have updated the front page of the handbook! Yay!
I apologise for thedelay, I have been plagued with all sorts of computer and internet issues alongside the odd real life hiccup. many thank yous to those of you who did nominate articles, we get very few nominations so its nice to see the ones that do get posted!
Without further ado, the new features are:
-
This looks like a lot of fun. Give me a prod ingame when you have a date & time Tsumi (I suck at checking the official forums!) and I will see if I can be there with my amateur demorecord skills

Thanks Rodoan
Just to let people know, now I'm not distracted by DXP I'm starting my work on the British issue and I'm welcoming any content anyone is willing to contribute. -
So glad you approve Dr Mechano I hope to play more with adverts in the next issue, as it helps make the magazine feel more 'real' I think ^^
I also want to thank everyone who's chipped in so far with ideas for the next issue, they're greatly appreciated. I will be getting back to people after the double xp weekend and setting to work on the next issue. -

Quote:Much of Tom Orrow's article I kept text as provided by you ingame as I would always do with such things assuming they were purposeful based on accent or lingo the character would use.Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
Love how Tom Orrow's article ended up. Small thing is that I found many typo's though
You might need a good editor for your next issue.
I'm afraid I won't be doing that, I want to move forward and work on new content instead. Besides as remarked on in the editors letter this revamp is an IC improvement. Kapow! put out its first issues on a low budget and now have the resources for a better format from now onQuote:Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
Oh.. Bunny.. can you pls pls pls... rework the older magazines and maybe enhance them so they look the same as this one in the same format? I will give all help that you might needed to do so.

Hey guys!
I don't know how many of you have seen my magazine Kapow! but it's an IC magazine created on Union filled with things that either report on IC occurances or showcase things to do with RP. Starting with the next issue I shall be going cross-server for content! The whole mag will be IC with the OOC on the back cover for which content comes from which server for ease of interaction with it ingame.
If you'd like to find out more and maybe get involved please check out the thread in the roleplay forum. -
Updated the second post for info on contributing for the next issue

This is really awesome work! I dig the idea of a 'themed' magazine showcasing different looks. Great job!
Thank you for creating the ad wording and screenie and letting me use them, it's an honour getting to pull together creativity from throughout the community!Quote:Originally Posted by Zortel
Thank you for the awesome version of my character's advert. Remember folks, if you need to run something somewhere? Give it to Zack.
I hope Zack gets some more packages to keep as safe as his own!
Really happy to include it, as a vegetarian myself I'll need to try it some time!Quote:Originally Posted by Kallandra
Fantasticly amazing
Thank you so much for putting in Nanny's recipe.
I'll be sure to let you know hunQuote:Originally Posted by Dante
Pick a them Bunny and I'll do something for it. I've got heroes and villains of just about every sort (see my sig
) so whatever is fun for you, I'm sure there's some character somewhere begging to be written for. Very heavily leaning towards a British inspired issue next (maybe with a 'Home of the Brave' USA themed issue after that to give a contrast) Just taking a couple more days to ponder ideas but will then be back to start my traditional nag for content!
There is the potentiality to fudge the universe lines a little to include some virtue content. It's something I'd need to think on the application of to make sure this still fits in line with concept and RP that comes from it. I also have the issue of being in the UK so meeting up ingame to get content can be trickier due to timezones. That said, never say never! I shall think on it!Quote:Originally Posted by ShadowWings
I wish Virtue had something like this.
What a great sentiment, thank you!Quote:Originally Posted by Yydr
May all your creativity be as rewarding!
...this is what I get for finishing the issue when tired. Apologies for the typo, we can blame a proofreader NPC I'm sure! Thanks for the kind words though and it was good to see you at the steampunk partyQuote:Originally Posted by Nitro
Oh, Venessa's in another magazine and...
...her name's spelt wrong and she's looking off camera. -
Thanks for the positive feedback guys, it means a lot
And the idea of a very British issue is really tempting me! -
Upcoming Issues:
I am proud to announce that Issue 2 of the new format will be "Rule Britannia!". I will be welcoming all contributions for all things British. Is your character from the UK, or have they been inspired by something British? Get involved.
Future issues: The plan for Issue 3 is a counterpoint to Rule Britannia: "Home of the Brave" focusing on the local American heroes and villains.
Issue 4 I have not nailed down a theme for, not wanting to get too far ahead of myself. However, based on feedback I am leaning towards a dark and gritty/street level theme - I will keep you posted!
Get Involved!
Like Kapow!? Then get involved, I welcome all submissions, big or small.
To take part just drop me an email at Kapow!s new email address:
KapowMagazine[at]gmail.com
Desired Content for 'Rule Britannia':
Anything British! Anything even vaguely linked to England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
As seen in the Steampunk issue I welcome anything from standard features/interviews to the more unorthadox. Kapow! loves metahumans so if your hero or villain has something to say write it up and send it my way. Or maybe you could write something on your character (or someone else's) from the point of view of a die-hard fan!
I also want feedback from the steampunk issue; so letters to the editor would be great! Bex needs (on theme) arcs to review, also those brave enough could Ask Archie for advice!
Still a little unsure? Drop me an email if you're interested in helping and I'll be sure to talk through ideas with you.
Participation FAQ:
Q) I have no writing/art experience, can I get involved?
A) Of course! I welcome emailed ideas for anything in the issue and even tiny contributions help. Have an idea for wording for something? Send it my way I'll see what I can do. Or maybe you have some cool screenshots send them with an idea for an article and I'll have a play. I welcome anything to help!
Q) Can I send you content referencing content from {insert a server that isn't Union}?
A) Starting from Issue 2 of the new format I will be welcoming content from all servers. There will be an OOC overview on the back cover of the magazine to let people know which articles impact in character goings on on their server along with who to contact for more information.
Q) Will you meet me ingame to interview my character?
A) I sometimes do this, but generally won't do this for more than one feature per magazine as it ends up very work heavy for me (Coming up with questions, sorting through the logs, editting the text, taking and editting screenshots, composing it all into an article etc etc) If you would like a feature done on your character please consider either taking the screenshots yourself or writing the content yourself, a shared effort makes the magazine feel less 'samey' on all the articles and frees up some time so the magazine can have even more articles.
Have a question? Email it to me or leave it in this thread and I'll get an answer to you -

Hello base builders!
So, I get asked often to advise on base building things and it got me thinking that I should create some sort of guide for the things I create most often as a stepping stone for new(er) base builders. I'm currently considering making some video tutorials on how to make some nifty little base details (how to make a good looking kitchen/bedroom/meeting room etc etc) For these videos I was thinking of making beginners, intermediate and advanced technique sections so people can attempt what they feel most comfortable with.
My problem is I've been doing things for so long that I need advice on what people would consider each grade of difficulty!
Obviously beginners techniques would be basic arrangement, no stacking or sinking items into other items, but what about intermediate and advanced? What would you consider the 'step up' from basic and what would you consider trickier than that?
Any help would be great! -
Love the shiny new layout hun, it's looking great

I have a character who cosplays and have found a lot of anime looks are easily creatable if you spend enough time fiddling in the tailor screen. My character's first outfit was Xianghua from Soul Calibur:

Just a gentle reminder that I would like content in within a weekish so I can get all the design stuff done and get all uploaded for people to see

Yeah I know, unfortunately the Blue Hamidon raid on Virtue is a 4 PM EDT, so I still can't make it >_<

Both work well as ideas. Journal would potentially work better as it's something different - there are often volunteers to be interviewed but rarely people up for writing up things like journals ^^
But of course, whatever you're happiest with
-
Articles done:
- Base visit
- Feature on Tom Orrow
- Quiz
- A small lexicon
- A few ads
- Letter from the editor
- Ask Archie
Closing in on 20 pages but more from you guys would be great! -
