Title: Ads for the Forge
Post by: Dregg on December 02, 2004, 02:54:47 AM
Hello,

I'm about to do layout for my first self publsihed work "Pulp Era: Cinematic Adventures in the Yesteryear" and I would like to put a ad in the back of my book for the Forge since it has been a great resource and Inspiration in finishing my work.

I guess my first question is, May I put in a Forge ad? and Are there any graphics of pre made ads that I can use?

A while back, I developed a graphic for inclusion in my own games and ran it by Clinton and Ron for their approval.  It reads:

Tempered By
THE FORGE
indie-rpgs.com

If you want, I can send you a version of it to see if you want to include it in your own games.  I'm still planning to stick it in both Argonauts and Vespertine once I finish them.

Hello,

Advertisements for the Forge are great, but one thing Clinton and I are very stern about is this: be very careful never to imply, in any way, that the Forge is a publisher, or indeed, an institution of any kind, or anything but a website. Also, although this doesn't show up in ads much, no phrases such as "approved by" or anything similar should be used, even as a joke.

Best,
Ron

No Problem and I totaly understand. I would like to put the Forge Logo in the back where it is clear that it is an ad section. I just want to know if there is an offical Forge Graphic for just this sort of thing? Just trying to support the forge in all its indie goodness.
