 March 12, 2010 - 4:24pm | My teleport article is almost done, i will probably finish it this weekend, is there time for submission to issue 14 |
March 12, 2010 - 5:43pm | Depending on the type of article (equipment, rules, fiction, adventure) I can't make any promises. I try to balance each issue and if I get a lot of certain types (equipment is a biggie) I don't put every single article in. I'd exhaust the queue. :-) I hope you all understand.  Off Topic: Here's is an idea I thought of for my own adventure writing. Consider submitting a new piece of technology within the framework of an adventure. It appeals to me because Referee's can see how the technology is used in the game. I'm considering this for artifacts. |
 March 12, 2010 - 9:34pm | Sounds cool Woot! Looking forward to the next issue. Hey if people need some graphic type art for their article, I could maybe do something for them. Just message me. At least I got to scare an alien rabbit thingy...... |

Just message me. umungus - What would you think if I expanded the submission rules to include something like; If you need help with a submission (maybe it's not fleshed out), rule testing or artwork we have volunteers that are standing by ready to assist. All you need to do is ask. http://starfrontiersman.com/contact/submissions |
 March 13, 2010 - 1:07pm | Sounds good. By the way, I thought you said it was robot-themed? Could you tell me what dictionary you're using for the term "theme"?

 March 15, 2010 - 4:08pm | Just as long as you're not emptying the submission tank... |
March 16, 2010 - 12:54pm | GJD! There is another thing I need to add to my list of stuff I do. Coordinate artwork. :-) The art I'm waiting on is due out 'dis weeks! I won't mention who owes the art -- that would be tacky, right Bill? And jedion (moore on than off) has a surprise for us. As always remember to  |
 March 18, 2010 - 9:18am | How about an "Encounter Corner" going forward? Kinda like what Dungeon was doing for awhile where you build a random encounter, include NPC's, tactics, etc. That would be helpful. |
March 18, 2010 - 10:24am | Excellent suggestion dj2145. I believe in upcoming issues you will see more "encounter" type submissions. Check out the Adventure! and Location section. It's possible to combine those with Archetypes and Adversaries to build an encounter.  |
March 18, 2010 - 2:04pm | By the way, the index looks good, but you don't have to feature my name and put yours incidentally. I started it, but I won't be keeping it up. Since you will be keeping it up, your name deserves to at least be on par with mine if not superceding it. View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write.

April 3, 2010 - 1:49pm | *sigh* 4 months and counting. The offer is still open to do some editing and the layout for upcoming issues.

 April 5, 2010 - 2:31pm | I don't know why Larry didn't announce it here (although it is on the main page which I rarely visit ) but Issue 14 is out at the Star Frontiersman website and I'm working on getting the articles online on the Star Frontiers Network Wiki. Ad Astra Per Ardua! My blog - Expanding Frontier Webmaster - The Star Frontiers Network & this site Founding Editor - The Frontier Explorer Magazine Managing Editor - The Star Frontiersman Magazine |
April 5, 2010 - 3:06pm | Sorry to be a pain, Larry. But apparently I had the critique right before on my image. On all the other images in other issues, they come out pretty, but for my image, it has to be reduced down to 54.2% before it looks right. At 100% it completely pixels out. But then I looked at the images for the rest of the magazine, and I see the same problem exists for them. However, if compared to issue #13, that issue is pretty crisp. Why the difference?

April 6, 2010 - 2:42pm | Apparently these library computers pixelate the PDF images beyond recognition. Also, I think perhaps the smaller, older image was used. Both contributed to a not so great viewing. I apparently didn't give you the updated image. I'm sorry for that. I have linked it. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

April 7, 2010 - 11:29am | Ascent, The image I have is very large - 1.7MB jpg file. I have not figured out why Word in combination with the PDF Printer chops up images. It appears some images are fine while others are pixelly. I moved your image around on the cover to not chop off the head. I can try again - waiting for more ppl to point out errors before I revise. |
April 7, 2010 - 2:51pm | Which PDF print program are you using? View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W. Warrick, Star Wars Ep.

April 7, 2010 - 5:20pm | converting the jpg to png format also may help prevent any distortion when resizing, moving, and croping as png freezes the image and helps prevent distortion. |
April 7, 2010 - 8:03pm | Thanks AZ, I do use png. PDF Creator http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ |
April 9, 2010 - 2:20pm | Okay. I will redo it in png. As for pdfcreator, I use the same program, so I will see what it does with my settings. If my settings prove better, I will send you instructions on setting yours. Thanks View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W.
