I will admit to being remiss when it comes to sending scenarios and 
the like to magazines.	I am readying a DSII scenario for print in 
MARS, a Canadian publication that is all about scenarios and game 
reviews.  I have contacted some of the list members and those who 
have worked with me or Jeff Gulliam in the past to write supplemental 
material for all three rule systems.  The idea is to put the book 
together, then run it by Jon for the final edit and papal blessing!!  
I'm hoping to get the support and active participation of the list 
members at large in this endeavor, since we will need many of you to 
playtest the material before publication.   I have waited until now to
write 
 because I wanted to see how this how this thread would evolve.
