Congratulations Jon! Way to go, GZG! Great news on the heels of the
Fleet
Book.

I'd just like to point out MARS. The recent issue is pretty good (and
not just
because I'm in it!). It's mostly steampunk stuff, with a capsule version
of
the Great Rail Wars, Sky Galleons of Mars, and some other neat stuff.
The next
issue will specialize on space games, including FT. The first issue
wasn't
bad, but the current issue is much improved in content and in layout.
Let me
know if you need some information about it. It's published quarterly, so
the
next issue will be a little while in coming.

Oh, and John Fletcher paid me for my short piece promptly and with two
spec
copies. This is a true rarity in gaming circles. If you think you have
some
good stuff for the next issue, you might want to contact John. Let me
know if
you need his e-mail address.
