Work on Issue #16 has begun! Be sure to send in an article, photographs, art, letter to the editor, etc., for this next issue.

Keep the momentum going!

#136307

A third article arrived for Issue #16, today, so things are a go for this issue. I am actually well ahead on the compiling end of things, with the first two articles already compiled into the issue. I will be compiling this third article, later tonight.

#136330

I meant to post this, already, but I got sidetracked a number of days back, and just plain forgot.

Here's the front cover art for Issue #16 of Suspense & Decision magazine. Enjoy!

I have an item on Drakensang, I hoped you would give us a deadline for submission!

I saw this month's deadline announced way back about the time the last issue came out.  I think he's back to trying to get all the contributions in by the 20th of each month in order to publish on the last day of the month.

If you open Issue #15 and turn to Page #4, the submission deadline was surrounded by bright yellow. The date of the submission deadline, itself, is listed in bold text in 36 point font.

If you miss that, then it is also listed on Page #5 of the same issue. Again, it is surrounded by bright yellow on the same page where the word WANTED is listed in 80 point font. To me, it's pretty visible.

#136335

Send me the article. I can try to work it in, Jim.

#136336

Also, the submission deadline is listed in the first posting in this thread. It was posted here on February 1st, 2017, and the date due is in bold red text, so that it stands out more.

OK, will do. I haven't managed to open the latest issue, same problems the issue before though that I could open using downloaded Adobe Reader. Will keep trying. I also can't find a way to attach my copy to email. I'm copying the file to a post in my Drakensang thread. I hope you can use it.

#136339

You could try copying and pasting into e-mail or into a Private Message here. I use Sumatra PDF reader, but I don't know if it works for your kind of computer, Jim.

What kind of computer do you use, again?

#136341

A Macbook Pro Retina 2012 year model, using Sierra.

#136343

Have you not tried downloading a different PDF reader? I don't use a Mac, but there are other PDF readers for it, as far as I know.

#136344

Jim, try something from one of the following pages:

I did try these but they don't work. Adobe Reader worked last issue, but not this one.

We're a day behind the publication schedule for Issue #16, at the time that I post this update about Issue #16 of Suspense & Decision magazine.

I've been working on it a bit more, throughout this morning. We're getting there. Issue #16 hasn't fallen into a hole. Time restraints preclude me from finishing it today, though. I'm feeling pretty good about it, overall. I'm happy with the progress that I made, today. My best guess, right now, is that Issue #16 will likely publish either late tomorrow (Friday) night, or at some point on Saturday.

CORRECTION: The e-mail that I sent out announcing that Issue #16 of Suspense & Decision magazine was out and available for download should have sought correspondents from all PBM game communities, and not just from the Agema gaming community. I'm still tired from last night, and I copied and pasted an entry from a specific forum that I posted to, this morning, but I forgot to revise it for the e-mail mailing.

Sorry about that!

If anyone wants to be a correspondent for the magazine, but only cover a given game or game company's community, then Suspense & Decision magazine is very receptive to that. I figure that, even if we don't manage to get a correspondent for every PBM community of players out there, then for the ones that we manage to get a correspondent for, that would be a big plus for both the magazine and for the PBM industry and hobby, overall.

Again, sorry for the error, but thank you for your interest in the underlying concept!
