The only thing I can verify for you is that Marvin Lamb (who is
working/has
worked in the Starfire Design Studio) has bought the rights to Starfire
from
TFG. (unfortunately I cannot reproduce his post detailing the details of
this
event as I deleted it). In it he has basically stated that further
issues of
Sky Marshall will be electronic in nature (I think Matt Seidl can
confirm this;
I removed myself from the starfire mailing list a while back 'cause I
was
getting way too many msgs to keep up; this list is at about my limit
these
days :( ), though the basic game products would remain 'hardcopy' in
nature.

I had not heard about SFB going out, though. Could it also be Marvin??

During the run-and-fight-and-run-again battle through this forest of
horror,
she is finally cornered. Her weapons have been left deep in the bodies
of the
slain or broken against the granite-hard scales of these snakes that are
not
snakes. Her stand to the death must be fought here. Though her only
weapons
are her hands and her deep and wide knowledge of the slayers, she does
not
fear them. They will die. Of this she is sure.
