Feel free to respond with idea to the following:
As of this writing issue 1 is fresh off the presses and we're laying ground work issues 2-4
Currenly issue 2 is 90% written and is a catch all of stuff we had waiting to be published as well as articles bumped from issue 1 due to space constraints. No over all theme.
What's in planning is two major themes for issues 3-4
Issue 3: we have a seriously cool cover art from a professional artist with numerous commercial credits to their name. the subject of the art is robotics more or less and since we did have some planned articles on or involving robotics we thought that the cover should dictiate the theme and we're looking at robotics as the theme for issue 3 early in 2013. issue 3 is the final instalment of Mooks Without Number adventure and we've even worked a robotics angle to that one
Issue 4: has a theme that is a bit of a lightning strike. Terl Obar wrote a realy interesting article on sub space radios. It immediately suggested to me, upon reading it, that we should expand on it: do a write up on an organization described in the article, do a location described in the article, do a deck plan on a ship mentioned in the article, and do an adventure spawned from the adventure seeds in the article (the adventure will use the other write ups as that just makes sense) finally- there is a tennative plan for a particular planetary brief to suit the needs of the adventure just alluded to. All of that was spawned by just a simple little article on sub space radios- who'd have thought that could happen. No cover Art is chosen yet but we do have an artist name penciled in who has given us broad permissions to use his stuff.
issues with themes will not automatically exclude material that does not support the theme but if we end up with too much material for the space allowed then non themed articles are likely to get nudged to a latter issue.
other themes ideas are welcome, content is welcome, fiction is welcome
