Welcome to the new Ex Libris Nocturnis!

About the site, and submission information. (EXTREMELY old, and out of date. Kept for archival purposes only.)

Things have changed quite a bit since my original plans for this site. My skills have matured a bit, and my goals have been modified as well. The site was originally going to be a B.J. Zanzibar-style player's resource, but why do we need another one? I decided to go with a magazine format, but specializing in White Wolf related material. I've put a lot of work into writing the engine for this site, as it is all done in PHP with a MySQL backbone. Now all I need is you.

I won't be able to write much for the site, between keeping up with the Coming Attractions FAQ that I've taken over from Rick Jones, and editing the content you, hopefully, will provide, I should have my hands full. This site will have more artwork involved in its articles and presentation, but it won't be much if I'm the only creator here. So here's what I need:

• Feature Articles: Information on a specific game or the world of darkness in general. Things like settings or essays on a specific kind of supernatural. I'll try to run articles relevant to either the current year's theme (Year of the Reckoning, for example) or to a book coming out that month (e.g.: Wraith: Great War) when I choose articles.
• Reviews: There are always books coming out, and the sooner I get reviews for them online, the better.
• Fiction: Again, I'd like the fiction to be relevant to the theme or the month's "big release", but it isn't necessary.
• Player's Resources: Player related rules, such as new bloodlines, gifts, totems, etc...
• Storyteller's Resources: Storyteller information, Adventures, Settings, etc...
• Artwork: I need cover art every month, as well as sidebar art for articles and fiction.

At the moment, I'll be updating the articles, fiction, player's and storyteller's resources once a month, and the reviews once a week. If I get to the point where I have a good enough backlog of articles and such, I'll start updating that once a week as well. The Coming Attractions FAQ will be updated once a week as well.

If you have any ideas for articles, or would be interested in helping out with anything else, please email me at nocturn@nocturnis.net.
