Fascinating stuff on the unpublished FASA material - excellent work on tracking this down!
And I really like that the magazine collects together Siskoid's Doctor Who seasons as RPG series of articles and character sheets. Nice to have them collected in this way.

Glad you enjoyed the issue Misterharry. We try to do our best in providing great material and a good fanzine. We too like Siskoid's write-ups gathered together and working with him has been great.
More good materials are lined up for future issues as well.
We remind everyone, that if anyone wants to contribute (an article, adventure module, review, whatever), feel free to contact us at seidler [at] msoe.edu.

I found the text in the sidebars in the "Game Mastering tips: Special equipment for characters" article a bit hard to read because of the background.

Garethl, Thank you for the feedback. As we look at the article and background ourselves, it looks clear on a vanilla colored background, but apparently some other PDF readers interpret that color to be some sort of pattern. We believe this to be a browser/reader issue.
The fanzine is generated in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, and it reads fine in a genuine acrobat reader as best as we can tell. Sometimes if a pdf is activated in a browser the quality is not that same for display.
We will keep watching out for this. Thanks for the feedback.

If I zoom in (200%) on the pdf in the browser the background turns into the vanilla one. Different non-browser pdf reader also works fine. Some other backgrounds are also darker in -browser until I zoom in.

Garethl, Thanks for the feedback. For some reason the inbuilt PDF readers of browsers have gotten worse rather than better in recent releases.

Work continues on Issue #21, which will feature a look at the early 1980s Doctor Who RPG fanzine "The TIme Meddlers" and will include an interview with co-founder Steven E. Dieter as well as a reprint of all the known existing issues. It will be another BIG issue for everyone.

We work hard to give gamers great resources, and this next issue will have dug up some more hard to find retro fanzine content to share with all. We are hoping everyone likes this offering as well.

I submitted some bits (based on posts I made here) but haven't heard from Nick since November when I sent the last batch. Probably busy.

While on the subject of magazines Freelance Traveller may be of interest to some. It's dedicated to the Traveller RPG but has a wealth of material that could be adapted for DW gaming, including characters, spacecraft, vehicles, equipment, locations, adventures and more. There are currently 61 issues available.

I've heard from Nick, the preparations for Concinnity XV are causing some delays in the next Diary issue but it is being worked on.

Hi all, sorry for the long absence. A new role at work, different responsibilities, and a LOT of great content have delayed the current issue. We are working on it and things are coming together for it, but there is still a great amount of work to do. I can tell you that this is a Sontarans Issue with a lot of good materials and modules for them. This issue will also feature 3 original board games to print out and play, as well as a wealth of additional module ideas and more. Because we haven't had an issue in over a year, this one will be QUITE LONG. If you print our fanzine out, you will need MULTIPLE ink cartridges for this one... I am looking for someone to review the 7th, 8th, and 9th Doctor sourcebooks from C& so if anyone is interested, please e-mail me at seidler [at] msoe.edu. We will keep working hard for you all!

Journey Planet is a PDF science fiction fanzine covering a range of topics.
The current issue, 24, is dedicated to Richard III the not-hunchbacked king of England who got such poor treatment from Shakespeare. Coincidentally I've been thinking about Richard in the context of time travel as he appears in the latest of Jodi Taylor's 'Chronicles of St. Mary's' novels featuring the time travelling historian Madeline Maxwell. Between them the book and 'zine provide numerous seeds for adventures revolving around Richard III.
