Our esteemed Gandalf of Borg, after shepherding ten issues of Beyond the Final Frontier and thousands and thousands (okay, almost fifty) of issues of Hall of Fire to fruition, has decided he needs a break. He's passing duties for both magazines on, and I've taken up the bulky, rodinium mantle of editor for Beyond the Final Frontier, the unofficial Star Trek RPG webzine.
Issue 10 is out now. That means Issue 11 needs to be filled, and we at BTFF want to provide a place for as much new, useful CODA material as possible.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
As usual, real life intervenes. Now that I'm sitting on something other than boxes, however, I can turn my attention back to the zine. BTFF11 is now slated for a mid-Fall release. The nominal deadline for final drafts is now late September or early October, so talk to me now about your submission ideas.
What we're looking for in the new issue:
Episodes
The most important part. We're aiming for two to three adventures each issue, depending on length. These should be fully-developed adventures, capable of being played out of the box.
Starships
We want both full starship stats with descriptions and new systems to use.
Aliens and Creatures
We also want new alien life forms for Crew to encounter–or be. We want alien civilizations for player characters, adversaries or plot elements, species of creatures, or individual narrator characters, all with notes on using them in episodes.
Worlds
We're looking for strange new planets–and other times, alternate universes, pocket dimensions and weirder places–for the Crew to visit, along with notes on how narrators can use them in their episodes.
Operations
Under this heading are new skills, traits, professional abilities and personal equipment for characters to use.
Narration
Articles on narrating the game–finding ideas for episodes, advice, tools for efficiency or enhancing mood, narrative techniques or variations and thoughts on narrating the Star Trek RPG.
PM me here if you want to discuss submission ideas.
Good hunting.
