Welcome once again to a new issue of Beyond the Final Frontier! This month's issue has a new location for those in need of an out-of-the-way place in the fringes, NPC, class outline for a Starfleet Academy game, new Ferengi options, an in-depth look at character generation, and a tribute to the late Jimmy Doohan.
Happy Gaming!

What's your policy on submissions?
Also, i don't see the link up anywhere.
Can't find it at either Yahoo group.
We're having trouble uploading it. We're working the problem. :)
As for submissions, check out the previous issues and the Hall of Fire webzine issues. That should give you a sense of what GoB is looking for. Just about anything related to Trek gaming.
I meant more, do i just send them in, or what?Quote:

if you want me to, I can try and convert it into embedded fonts, but I'll need someone to email me the source file (I'm guessing a word file?) and I should be able to do it. PM me if you want too.
I have just downloaded all six releases of BtFF webzine at www.starbase-coda.com but I couldn't get a working version of release 4. My AR always tells me, that the data content is damadged and can't be repaired. I deleted my download and tried a new one, but the new DL process didn't even take a ful second (I'm using an old, out of style modem!) and the thing is still damadged. Can somebody point me at what I'm doing wrong? Is there another site were to download the issues?
@ Tobian: I just opened up volume 6 and the text seems kinda blurred to me. Is that what you meant with your latest post? And is there any way to fix it?
I'm off now, reading through BtFF which I think are quite cool! :cool:
There's no way to fix it in your viewer, I'm trying to work with the author to get it working correctly, you'll have to stand by :)
With regards to your faulty download; well i downloaded it myself to see, and it worked fine!? So I suspect your cache is being mangled somehow. I would recomend you download some downloading software, such as Getright, to help stabalise your downloads, and stop and start them.. especially useful if you are usinga modem, which is slow, and it's a big download!
As per your advice, I'm now standing by :D Thank you for tackling that problem.Quote:

No! Not Getright! They recently added spyware! Avoid it at all costs.
Use Flashget instead: http://www.amazesoft.com/
No, they removed it all allong time ago, that was only up to 4.7, it's now on 6 beta

Anyway I kept with the download software of my internet provider :eek:
I'm not dilligent enough or fit with computer use to change things that work well most of the time :)
Submission rules are fairly loose... DOC or TXT, any pics you'd like to feature, use DEC format standards for profiles (starships, characters, etc.). If you have any questions about anything in particular, just send me an email.

Suggestion: Even online magazines can now get ISSN numbers! ISSN is International Standard Serial Number. It is basically an ISBN for magazines. You should look into applying for one for BtFF.
I don't think they should!
An ISSN or ISBN gives a professional attitude to a magazine, and this one certainly doesn't want to be pro, as it uses a licensed property. Viacom is cool with fan endeavors as long as they remain fannish, and if you don't make money out of them.
I for one certainly don't want an ISBN for ESO. It's a fan endeavor and will - must - remain as such.
Im gonna have to go with KW on this one... its the reason I have the disclaimer in the zines.

Good call - if that happened we would probably loose a fantastic resource!
