This is the area for the new Black Spot newsletter/fanzine information. Articles and such from the old Ink Blot have been moved to the Ink Blot 'Archive' page. This area is now reserved for Dave's World, the interim newsletter for the Black Spot club!

How can you support 'The Fellowship of the Black Spot'?

This is a counter for checking the amount of character (letters) that are in a body of text. Paste your body of text into the boxed frame and clink on the Calculate Characters button to get your character total.

For the current interim newsletter, the preferred rough counts are as follows:
2,800 - 3,000 characters - 1/2 page review
6,400 - 6,650 characters - Full page review or article (and keep adding this number up for each additional page)
Note: There will be obvious cases where these counts won't work, such as in the WotC products lisitng I put in each issue. There is just too much spacing for the product listing for this counter to be effective. This is rare though, and most articles need to stay as close to this count as possible. Thank you!
