Have you tried asking Mikael Louys? Not sure if he's on this forum.

I would love to see you run an article on the FF bookmark competition from 1986. Its a little piece of unexplored history.

it would be nice if someone could dig up some facts and figures. As well as the main prize of a day out at games workshop, there were also 200 runner up prizes of FF posters.

Now on the prowl for REVIEWS! Anything published released post-May 2016 that is either a gamebook or gamebook-related is fair game. Contact me!

Also on the look out for a new news editor.
(Edited to add:)
Jake isn't interested in continuing with his "Solutions of the Abyss" column. Anyone keen to take over?

Just out of curiosity, how many illustrations would you need and what is the timescale to complete them? Also, do you need a cover illustration?

Looking at perhaps 4 B&W illustrations across two items plus a B&W map. No cover needed at this stage, but I haven't started planning issue #17 and so a cover artist will be needed then. Let me know if you want to be considered.

A report for Fighting Fantasy Fest? Also a review of Port of Peril, Titan Herbal and FF Legends? I'm hoping the issue will be out before those are available to review, so they would go in issue #17.

Perturbing cover illustration.
Kieran appears to have forgotten about section 118 of TWoFM. 64 may have more impact - it's certainly the ending that grabbed me - but 118 happens sooner.

I did a search on print on demand sites ( basically because i am selfish and i do wanted a paper copy of this issue) and came across www.blurb.com/ have you seen this or similar solutions Alex ? For example this site and Amazon for selling the product? it also might be insteresting to contact Amazon regarding other possible solutions , they should have for printed copies and also digital brodcast like their kindle app , and kindle website for reading the magazine. you wouldn´t possible get much profit but a lot more exposure to the magazine.

Love Mark Lain's mini adventure Sister Angela's Veil. Very dark with some juicy connotations.

Amazon don't do magazines. Lulu do, but don't print on the inside of the covers. Blurb and MagCloud only offer US magazine sizes. Issue #15 is now available via Peecho and I hope to add other recent issues shortly.
