Well, I haven't been keeping up with this discussion, but I agree that Gamer #5 is the best yet. I still haven't read the Chiss article, but the Emperor's hand thing was cool, and I like how he tied more of them into known events like Zaarin's defection and whatnot. I would have liked to see another feature on characters who weren't hands but were still working for Palpy, like Jerec perhaps. The fiction was good, although the Jaina story left some loose ends, the other one tied up some loose beginnings for us. Overall, I'm very pleased with this issue and the magazine in general. I'm wondering who the "bestselling authors" will be who are writing the stories in the next issue.

I must say Abel that your attenion to detail is awesome. Being a low level EU cannon connecter I would never of had an idea of the connections you made. Keep up the good work.

I got my copy at a newsstand a week ago Friday, several days before the presumed release date.

For those interested, the Darkside Sourcebook has been hitting the shelves of at least the Wizards of the Coast stores.

That's good. I have to check my local Media Play soon.


With the release of Gamer 5, we should be getting info about 6 soon!

Abel, come back! I really liked "Arbitrator of Sins!"

Hey folks,

Thanks again for all the kind words. As far as a Mandalore article goes, I've had something in mind like that for years, but I think it's going to have to wait at the very least until after AOC. As for a novel, I'm just waiting for the word from LFL. :-) When I was younger, I really wanted to write an SW novel, but priorities have changed over the years. I've got one or two good SW short stories in me that I'd really like to tell, and I'd be happy with that.

The good news is that I just got confirmation on my next several assignments for Gamer. So keep an eye out in the coming months.

Take care all. And thanks again.
Abel

Great! I thought Arbitrator of Sins should be placed in Gamer. Very well-written story.

Battle for Mandalore, it was? With Janx Ferro and Governor Vrox? Arbitrator of Sins was based on Battle for Mandalore actually, the Challenge mag article.
