1. I have entered into discussions with the cover artist that I used, previously, for the front cover art of the various issues of Suspense & Decision magazine. He is receptive to joining us, again, in helping to move Suspense & Decision magazine forward, and to making Issue #13 a reality.
2. Two of the biggest obstacles to publishing Suspense & Decision magazine with regularity are health issues and other interests in life that have a tendency to distract me. My health isn't horrible, as far as I know, but as with most anyone who continues to age, time has a way of exacting a toll upon me. I have less actual control over my health, than I do over other interests which distract me and which consume large chunks of my time. In all likelihood, I may very well some of my other interests int the magazine, as well. It's not a perfect solution, I grant you, but I dare suggest that this approach may well stand the best chance of the magazine enduring over the long haul. Besides, if I write an article about something that you're not interested in, you can always just skip past it - much as readers were used to doing with various game-related articles that I wrote in previous issues of Suspense & Decision magazine.
3. Everyone has their own ideas about how to best go about the task of creating and publishing issues of a magazine like Suspense & Decision. I have no problem with this. However, where extended lulls in publication have transpired, no line seems to have formed by others sporting different approaches to the core concept. Accordingly, just as when I sought to bring Issue #1 into existence a while back, likewise, I will largely be guided by my own judgment as to how to get the ball rolling, once again.
4. Certain aspects of the magazine, as readers previously new it, will be carried over to this new attempt to bring the magazine back. Other aspects, however, may be changed or eliminated, altogether. I will strive to eliminate obstacles and barriers to getting the job done.
5. I could certainly use some help. You are invited, anew, to participate.
