It's actually one of my most favorite gamer issues, next to issue 5(though I find it hard to choose which one I like the best).

 

Five's still better, but I have to say 9 is very good. A number of articles which tie a whole lot of things togther with respect to Endor & Modell.

I'm liking the Keyes serial very much as well.

 

This one's been out for subscribers for almost a month. It was a good issue but initially kinda dissappointing for me.

 

Ive got to get a subscription to Gamer. I cant find the mag anywhere where I live, and I already have a subscription to Insider...

 

I aswell have this issue, although the Beltrunning article is taken almost word-for-word from the NJO sourcebook.

 

No, seriously.

 

although the Beltrunning article is taken almost word-for0word from the NJO sourcebook.

Didn't the mag come out first, so wouldn't this be the other way around?

 

The NJO Sourcebook was released about a month ago, Gamer 9 has only been out about two weeks.

The Sourcebook has been finished, or at least written for several months at least though.

 

Gamer 9 was the first Issue of my subscription, and I was alottle skeptical about Gamer at first since I do not Rp, but I really enjoyed, I hope the rest are like 9.

 

Mine just came in on Saturday. And ironically, I saw it on newstands that same day.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of talk on this one. I thought Keyes had more than one interesting twist with his female Jedi in the next installment of Emissaries of the Void. And I thought the Modell Sector piece by Carey, Fry & Wallace is chalked full of hard work and continuity details; hammering out the world creation on that piece alone looks amazing!!! Not since Mike Kogge's Centrality piece in Gamer # 5 have I been this impressed with a locales and history oriented piece. Great job to all!!!

Anyone have thoughts on Gamer # 9?

 

"I'm a little surprised at the lack of talk on this one."

Then you missed the thread about it a week or two ago, we discussed the issue in great detail.


"And I thought the Modell Sector piece by Carey, Fry & Wallace is chalked full of hard work and continuity details; hammering out the world creation on that piece alone looks amazing!!!"

I love that article epecially, the refrencing of star tours.

"Not since Mike Kogge's Centrality piece in Gamer # 5 have I been this impressed with a locales and history oriented piece. Great job to all!!!"

I fully agree.

"Anyone have thoughts on Gamer # 9?"

Like I said it's one of my favorite issues up there with issue 5.

 

D*mn I just was able to find the NJO sourcebook today.

Now I find out that Gamer #9 is out as well.

One would think the Capital of Florida would be on the ball.

 

THIS messed-up state? I don't things are any more on the ball in Tallahassee than they are down here in Miami.

 

I'll have to get it soon. I love the rogues and wraiths!

 

Thanks for the FYI Val,

I did check that thread, but I guess I missed when the discussion covered material other than Keyes' 2nd part of his novella.

I'll have to backtrack and see what I missed.

Best!

I agree that #5 was the best, but 9 is good. Real good.
