Next Barking Irons Magazine - Delays and Dystopia

Hello Everyone,

Well its overdue but here we are. Barking Irons No 2 is now late for publication and for that I am sorry. Me personally, not the rest of the team, as I am editor of the magazine and it lays at my door to make sure commitments are made. I will not offer excuses but those of you who know me personally will realise that I have been ill and have a rather heavy workload at most times. As BI is a labour of love for me its me own baby as they say.

The magazine will be complete in about a week, its in bits here around me. Plus thanks to those of you who have sent in material for issue number 3 and 4, I fully intend to make use of it as soon as slots open up in the page planner.

By the weekend I will put up a sample page to get you shuffling with excitement. Have a look at these two previous posts and if any of the articles gets your interest post in the comments to this item and I will try and make it one of these pages.

Here are the links to the other blog postings have a look:

Upcoming Posts for Barking Irons Magazine No 2

Good Afternoon everyone,

Today sees me putting this posting up which is going to get your taste buds a sizzling. The next issue of Barking Irons magazine is on its way and will be with you at the end of this month with mailing expected in early June.

With this in mind, as editor, I have decided to make some postings here that will let you all know what the magazine will have in it and to ask me any questions you might have. These questions might be on the articles in the upcoming issue, on the games in the issue, on future issues or even just the result of plain old curiosity.

You can see the spiffing cover of Issue 2 above and yes...that is DarkeStorme it features as a headline. My next posting will be the list of contents for Issue 2 and then after that in the coming days little snippits and artwork and so forth from selected articles.

So for now enjoy the cover and as always if you have questions just post them in comments here or on the Notables Yahoo Group and I will do my best to answer them.

Gavin.
