That would be the idea -- once every 3 months or so, I think, should be
something to aim for. (Although I already know that we won't be able to
reach that, but still, it never hurts to hope... Well, almost never :)

Anyway, to further explain my idea for a NERPS magazine a bit: I don't see
it as a magazine in which we do reviews of all sorts of stuff, or have
general interest articles, or stuff like that. IMHO it should be the same
NERPS does now, namely provide source material and other articles that
directly support the SR world -- place descriptions, equipment, spells,
NPCs, spirits, house rules, and so on.

This means we won't be in competition with TSS as much, and also we'll be
able to do the things NERPS has always done. It would just be on a more
regular basis than what we have now, namely about one book a year at
really irregular intervals.

The mag would most likely be done as an electronic publication, even
though I'd really like to do a hardcopy magazine, but I don't think it'll
be all that feasible :/

All that said, I'd like to hear some other opinions than my own about
this. You lot are really quiet about this, and I don't like it...
