Seeking Adventure Submissions…

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

Good morning, All,
We are now accepting submissions for Issue #4. Of particular interest are Traveller adventures. (You can never get enough adventures!) The ideal adventure submission for Stellar Reaches is 1-8 pages in length (using Times New Roman at 10 point font for the body), and is written using the BITS task system so that […]

Success! Issue #3 Is Here!

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005

Good Morning, All,
I finally worked around the original size problem by recreating the cover page myself (inspired by Chuck Shaw’s original cover design, of course) and in so doing, I dropped the size of the overall PDF down to about one tenth of its original size. While it does not capture Chuck’s work effectively, it […]

Issue #3 - File Too Big… Aaargh!

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005

Good Morning, All,
Or Good Evening, as the case may be. For me, it’s very, very late, and I’ve spent the last seven and a half hours finishing up Issue #3 of the Stellar Reaches fanzine for your enjoyment. Now that it is finally done and ready, I have sadly discovered that the final file size […]

Almost there…

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Good morning, All,
It is the morning of the last day of November, and I still have to put the final touches on Issue #3 of Stellar Reaches. Tonight, I have my weekly gaming session, so unfortunately, the work cannot be done tonight. Tomorrow evening, however, I can get it done and hopefully have the issue […]

Work Proceeds…

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

Good morning, All,
Work proceeds well on Issue #3 of the Stellar Reaches fanzine. It looks like it will be the biggest issue yet, even though I am reserving a few submissions for future issues. I still feel that I am on target for a release before the end of November. Again, my apologies for the […]

Back in the trenches…

Monday, November 7th, 2005

Good Afternoon, All,
I have started working on Issue #3 again this last weekend, with the intention of having it ready and published before the end of this month (if not sooner). I’ll try to post weekly updates on my progress, both for your edification and for my motivation to get it done. There will not […]

Dedication To My Father…

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Good Morning, All,
My father, who has not been in the best of health in the last few weeks, passed away at 3:22am Saturday morning, October 29th, 2005, in Amarillo, TX, at the age of 58, from complications due to toxemia. I was en route from Austin, hoping to get there in time, when we got […]

The Delays Continue…

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

Good Afternoon, All,
As you can tell, the delays still continue. I’ve either been out of town or I’ve been working every day, including weekends, since Labor Day weekend. I have not forgotten about the fanzine. I am just in a position where I don’t have the time to focus on completing Issue #3. I appreciate […]

Obviously, There’s Been A Delay…

Sunday, October 2nd, 2005

Good evening, All,
Things have been, and remain, quite hectic with the end of one fiscal year and the beginning of the next at the state agency where I work. Obviously, this has caused a delay in the release of the Summer issue of Stellar Reaches. I have not given up on the fanzine, but alas […]
