Maybe you should look into an issuu.com account for your publications.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

......and we're back up and running! I might look into that Bilbo.

Great, flashing ads on the download site.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

I know Not the most ideal, but apart from the ads it is a good site, I used to use it all the time. I'm going to work in the forum issue tomorrow so fingers crossed.

One thing I noticed is that you seem to have left the advanced tactica out of the content listing at the beginning. Also, if you decide to go back and edit that make sure to remove the extra i from "tacticia" for both the basic and advanced. It should be "tactica".

Aside from that I think it looks quite well. You did a nice job reformatting the pictures I put in a bit here and there.

Edit: You certainly deserve some kind of vacation for the amount of work you've put into this though, DoN.

Anybody here remember the days when white dwarf was this good? Probably not...

 

[Meier Lenk]

[Danceman]

Thanks eveyone involved! It was a good read indeed.

I do. The times it felt like it was by the gamers for the gamers.

.

DoN: It is Danceman, not Dancerman

Thanks, downloading.

 

[Arion]

I finished reading it, very nice. At the end I'd say "dare draw breath", not simply 'draw breath' but that's pretty much my only complaint. I missed Nico's questions though...

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Well I have made another version with the corrected mistakes, but I'm trying to figure out this annoying problem at the moment.

If anyone has any experience into creating a download link to a file that has been uploaded into a forums directory please help me!!

In regards to Nico - well I couldn't get hold of the writer for that near the end. Hopefully he will be back next issue.

I've read it through now, very good work! The tacticas were very interesting, and the pictures of painted models as well.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

The download issue has now been fixed, so no more advertising sites!

 

[Oracle]

DoN, I'd happily do some writing for the Invocation, I do quite a bit around the webs and at school.

You're awesome :konrad:

 

[Ghouly]

May I make a suggestion, I feel that the Invocation needs a mascot like the White Dwarf in White Dwarf

 

[Bug16]

Thanks for everybody involved in this issue, it was a good read.

The slightly green zombie?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Thanks for the feedback so far. The issue seems to have received good response all round.

If anybody is interested you can read two more reviews here:

I would be interested to hear what other people think of them and whether they agree with the points made?

@Ghouly - I'll certainly think about it

Well I was thinking a Wight King with a really big Axe or Mace :skull:

 

[Marcus Von Drac]

Well I haven't read the invocation yet, but if you do make a mascot for it, then how about a fitting tribute to the founder of this site, and make it the Master Vampire?

 

[Ghouly]

well if we made the mascot a vampire there would be the issue of what Bloodline it would be

 

[Willmark]

I thought it was a good issue, my biggest points are:

The Invocation logo floating in the middle of the front page...

Length. This issue seems to go on a bit to much for me, there could have been some more judicious editing IMHO. Or at least breaking some artciles up into multiple parts.

Minor criticisms however and keep up the good work.

 

[Soren]

I really like the webzine! I look forward to many more to come. My favorite parts are the "how to" and pics of others armies.

I suggest that you only include pics that are crystal clear. Also, I would like to see much larger pics in the how to section. I know that I can enlarge the pdf, but larger pics would e better, I think.

Again, great job!
