So, the plan is to do a new reader survey (the last was back in 2010!). Obviously we'll survey on the main gamebooks of FF, but are there any other suggestions?
Do we stick with giving each book 4 marks (Plot, Gameplay, Atmosphere, Illustrations)?
Do we survey about non-FF titles?
The previous survey included AFF titles, Goldhawk, the Warlock mini-FFs etc. Do we survey about them again?

Might be nice to also survey non-FF books such as LW and Bloodsword?

There are a load of books out there. Lone Wolf alone is 1/2 the FF series. We would probably have to nominate which books to do before we rate them and then probably do them in a separate poll to Fighting Fantasy books. AFF etc. :Yes - including the new ones. |

Will you be including some sort of review of FFF4?

Will you be including some sort of review of FFF4? Yes, Andy Jones will be doing a write-up. |

The previous survey included AFF titles, Goldhawk, the Warlock mini-FFs etc. Do we survey about them again? I would love to see another survey out. I would like to keep everything from the last one especially the books and author and artwork things. A few comments on the last one. Howl of the Werewolf was voted the best gamebook. I was irritated when I read that you called Your favourite Gamebook. (I know it was a collective thing.) I would like say that in the review it was pointed out that HOTW won because it was best. I think we should have all the 4 marks for best gamebook and then in maybe favourite artwork section have your three favourite FF products as in the last survey there was no favourite rating. It could help some of the older ones do better. I would love to do this survey as I wasn't in the last one. |

Is anything actually happening with this magazine? Very slowly. I do have a teaching job that swallows a lot of my time. Plus, people do need to contribute stuff. |

If you want to use Return of the lizard king for your adventure, feel free. It is 400 sections though, rather than 200. I could ask the illustrator if you can use his excellent pictures as well if you are keen. |

News Update!
The issue is still on the go.
Coming needs:
*Reviews of "Shadows of the Giants" and "Secrets of Salmonis" (these would need to be around 1100 words and not have been published somewhere else)
*An artist to do 5 B&W pics for the 'Chronicle of Heroes' column
*An artist to do 10 large and 6 small B&W pics for the mini adventure (these would be in a US superhero comic book style)
