 February 8, 2008 - 11:18am | DON'T DO THAT TO ME!!!!! OMG!!! NEVER NAME A THREAD WITH A TITLE LIKE THIS!!!! ARE YOU INSANE???!!! Okay, I got that out of my system. Man. I thought he had finally finished the issue. |
February 8, 2008 - 11:30am | COMING IN 2008............... Star Frontiersman Issue 8 2008... issue 8 eights? ok, never-mind. I think it's due to come out soon. The publisher has been occupied. ...and go ahead a submit stuff. If it does not make in this issue it will be ready for the next. |
 February 8, 2008 - 5:46pm | Bill's life basically blew up on him, so we're waiting for him to get that settled. I wonder if we could throw together a "special issue" ourselves to tide people over in the meantime. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
February 8, 2008 - 6:18pm | I've been thinking the same thing. I have 4 articles that I've been working on that are pretty much related. 2 of them would be updated and expanded reprints, and the other two are closely related to those. |
February 8, 2008 - 6:24pm | What do you all think of calling it Frontier Unlimited Special Edition Magazine, February 2008? Give it no number, as it will only be an issue published for the current break in the SFman. |
February 10, 2008 - 2:19pm | Sounds good to me. I can probably concoct some equipment and maybe an alien species to add. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
 February 10, 2008 - 4:31pm | Actually guys I can do the formatting. I have the software. I can use the same material from that I created the Frontier issue one. If you guys are interested. Then I can put it out as a PDF and have Larry or somebody look it over and have you guys upload it to a special project or whatever. Confucious Says: Man with one chopstick go hungry.

February 10, 2008 - 4:57pm | I was thinking of a similar format I was doing for KA until it got stolen. Very professional, but unique (not that there's anything wrong with yours, but I have training and some experience in it that can give it that much more of a boost). But I'll leave that to the others to decide. I'll simply present a sample of my work here. Just to be sure to address it before it comes up (It always comes up without fail), if there's any talk of distribution of this temp mag for profit, you can count me out. |
February 10, 2008 - 6:51pm | I've rethought that. I will already be contributing 4 articles and likely much of the art. I don't want to look like I'm taking over. Feel free to do layout, if you want, Gergmaster. |
February 11, 2008 - 10:01am | So we're serious about this, then? If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
February 11, 2008 - 7:37pm | Actually I do a lot of formatting but I have to have the art to do it. But, I want to wait and see what happens. Let the Alpha Team (main leaders of this site) decide what should be done. Because I dont feel comfortable in taking over Bill's baby (you all know what that feels like). So discuss and if you go ahead with it just get me the material and I can format the ezine. It's not that hard. I have done it for a number of projects. And if you are refering to the Frontier it was done in about six hours with already written articles put together. If I have the art, articles, and what not I can easily format an issue within a week. Confucious Says: Man with one chopstick go hungry. Man who eat many prunes get good run for money.

February 11, 2008 - 9:09pm | The Alpha Team is just the team that tested the alpha version of the site. We aren't "leaders" by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, Bill would like everyone to be on the same level, including himself. Corvus and I are just members that want to help put this together. As a matter of fact, he and I are rarely eye-to-eye, but I have no doubt that we can work to get this done, especially if somone else does the layout. We can just turn our work over to that person. |
February 11, 2008 - 9:58pm | I started the project here: http://starfrontiers.us/node/2618 Remember, just because I started the project doesn't mean I'm the project's lead. It only means that I manage the forums and documents of the project where needed. I would prefer someone else take the lead. I'm just getting things moving. I've closed the document secton off, because we won't need them. For a discussion of the magazine's plan, go to: http://starfrontiers.us/node/2621 |
 February 27, 2008 - 7:14am | Now just call me an impatient fan who continues to pester the fine contributers of StarFrontiersman, but.... ... where is this new issue?!? I have not been gaming lately (or able to write any contributions myself), I don't bother with Gleemax/DI versions of Dragon/Dungeon magazines (following the loss of those wonderful publications), and I need a gaming fix... especially for my game of choice!! Any chance for an update on when?? <insert witty comment here> |
February 27, 2008 - 1:14pm | Bill is working hard on Issue 8. I've found when I'm bored and waiting that twiddling my thumbs helps pass the time. Picking buggars when you think no one's looking also helps.  |
February 28, 2008 - 8:34am | Tried the bugger-picking... I am going to have a bloody nose soon.  <insert witty comment here> |
February 28, 2008 - 1:40pm | Yeah, you need a more moist and dusty atmosphere. All you have to do is wait a few minutes and you'll have more boogers to pick. (I have no idea why I spelled it "buggar" before  , but "I sooo got you."—Stewy Griffin) Also, if you bloody your nose, you'll at least have bloody boogers to pick, which can be a whole new area of fun in themselves.  Gooey, gummy, sticky treats. I want more boogers to eat!  |
February 28, 2008 - 6:28pm | Do Dral's have b00gers? You might be a red neck Dral if you go to pick your nose and loose your arm. |
 February 28, 2008 - 7:39pm | if a Dral sneezes, does that count as giving birth? Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |
February 29, 2008 - 5:31am | if a Dral sneezes, does that count as giving birth? This was so funny it made me just gave birth to globs of goodness all over the keyboard. Nice one Rum! |
March 11, 2008 - 7:24am | CleanCutRogue, February 20th, 2008 ... ... I'm working on it as I type this :-) Coming along nicely. ... More on this soon...  |
March 11, 2008 - 11:01am | CleanCutRogue, February 20th, 2008 ... ... I'm working on it as I type this :-) Coming along nicely. ... More on this soon... I check a couple of times each day and think the same thing. at least are there any new projections on when? 
<insert witty comment here> |

No, and it's getting very hard to catch Bill at all. I think the Frontiersman is going to wind up on hiatus after Issue 8. We need a "head up rear end" emotiocon. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
March 12, 2008 - 11:55am | Bill has said numerous times that he would like some help with it. He would like some people to step up as editors and art director types to help put it all together, then send he the finished product and he would put it in order and format it for the mag. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |

He has repeatedly said he wants this to happen after Issue 8. Meaning, starting with Issue 9. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
March 12, 2008 - 2:01pm | ah, yes. Right you are. New there was a reason I needed to wait til I got home to make a post. It would be nice to see SFman as a group effort. I shall offer what limited help I can. Maybe a bi-monthly 'zine would work better. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |
March 12, 2008 - 3:50pm | We have enough talent and enough material to do the 'zine monthly. We just need people who are going to commit and realize that by saying they're going to do it, they're putting it on the same level of importance as other Important Things. It can't constantly fall by the wayside "because I got busy", it has to be factored into the schedule. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
March 12, 2008 - 8:55pm | Yes, operating an online ezine with a staff takes equal commitment from everyone (not necessarily equal work, but commitment to make sure the magazine gets published on time). |
March 13, 2008 - 4:32am | You two make some very good and important points. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |
