Greetings Dear Readers, Due to space considerations, some letters have been edited. The mail just doesn't seem to stop. Oh dear. We read each and every letter, so even If it isn't printed, your comments are welcome and your suggestions and constructive criticisms are thoughtfully considered. So keep the letters coming. Remember SHADIS is an interactive magazine - we want you, the reader, to be involved. Gameweaver Dear SHADIS I love SHADIS! Yes, I did originally subscribe because of the wonderfully complete lists of Magic cards, but now I enjoy it for everything else it offers as well. I may even run a roleplaying game again sometime soon. Even articles and scenarios about games that I don't play have turned out to be useful as sources of ideas, or at the very least, enjoyable reading. I will definately renew my subscription. The only thing that could make my joy complete is a review, comment, scenario, or brief mention, of my favorite game. It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show is a roleplaying game set in the world of B-grade movies and is produced by Stellar Games. If more people hear about it, buy the books, play it, perhaps it will encourage more support from the publisher. It is also rollicking good fun and I think it is a welcome change from serious dungeon crawling or netrunning. R. E. Kemper The only reason we haven't covered the game you mentioned is that no one has bothered to submit a review or article on the system. SHADIS covers all games and we would love to see more system-specific articles to Intersperse between the non- system specific articles which have proven popular with our readers.-- JRB Dear SHADIS, Aaarrgggh, the local gaming store neglected to hold my copy of Knights of the Dinner Table #1. Can I order from you direct? And how about a reservation for KODT #2? Where should I send this extra pile of money I have laying around? T. Landrum Yes, we have a small reserve of KODT #1 here at the office. Copies are $2.95 plus $1.00 shipping. Issue no.#2 of KODT will be out sometime in January. (Yes, it was originally slated for a September release but other projects forced that date back.) You can reserve your copy of no.#2 either at your local gamestore or through SHADIS. --JRB Dear SHADIS, I just received my first issue of SHADIS. What is back issue price/reliability? You might be able to hide this data near your subscription information, George Phillies There are back issues of SHADIS available. We've refrained from publishing the list of available issues because supplies were getting so low and we enjoy taking back issues to conventions. Issues 1 thru 8 of SHADIS are sold out (though there are some unassembled copies sitting in storage). You can order copies of SHADIS 9 thru 16 (with the exception of issues 11 and 15 which have sold out) by simply sending $3.95 for each back issue wanted plus a dollar for shipping. As of this writing, both issue 16 and 17 took as though they will sell out within a few weeks. --JRB Dear SHADIS, I am a reader from way back in the good old days of SHADIS. (I started with issue #3) 1 have to admit what hooked me back then was the fiction, although being an avid gamer I didn't mind the change in venue in issue #9. Ithink you guys have done a wonderful job and I still find something interesting in every issue. I have noticed that during this last year there have not been any fiction stories in the issues Do you plan on having any fiction or picking up the stories from the earlier issues? Jim Chier Yes and Yes. You can expect to see some short stories in upcoming issues. The reason you have not seen any this year is twofold. Believe it or not, space is one reason. We have so many great articles that we want to publish already here we keep pushing the fiction back. The second thing is Jolly's time. We have kept him pretty busy this lost year, and like quite a few writers he needs the correct atmosphere to do his thing. The SHADIS office is decidedly not the place, so we have sent him home for a month. We expect fiction and cartoons when he returns.--GW Back to Shadis #17 Table of Contents Back to Shadis List of Issues Back to MagWeb Master List of Magazines © Copyright 1995 by Alderac Entertainment Group This article appears in MagWeb (Magazine Web) on the Internet World Wide Web.
