Defying all logic, this magazine just keeps getting better & better...

That cover is gorgeous! Really, really gorgeous. I cannot wait over the next, what, two years? to see all the entries at full size. And your forward, Cal, had me laughing out loud AND nodding my head in agreement...

I now need to rustle up the cash to buy both this issue and the last one (I'm lagging behind in my hardcopy priorities...)

I must say, the issue turned out absolutely beautiful (and I owe my thanks to the people who illustrated my articles - you know who you are). I am also happy with the content I have seen so far; solid, and sometimes verging on controversy.

Fabulous job. That's all that needs to be said.

That cover - Wow!

Best cover yet.

Jeff, Slimy Lake is awesome. Makes me want to run some MF this minute.

Wow, I'm proud of you all, writers, artists, editor etc

You've excelled yourselves, this is a bloody great issue !

[calithena]

Let's see that full cover again:



Thanks Mark! Great work!

[kelvingreen]

A stunning cover, and I'd agree that this is the best issue yet!

[ant]

My other comment seems to have been sucked away into the other thread so I'd like to once again join in the praises of Mark's amazing cover. Truly beautiful.

[zacharythefirst]

I can't get enough of the cover. I keep just looking at it. There's a lot going on there.

[sham]

It's really good so far. I too cannot get enough of that fantastic cover art! Kudos to all involved.

[zacharythefirst]

I love the illo by Andy "ATOM" Taylor on page 33. It does a great job of making the adventures appear tiny in comparison to the challenge. It's a little whimsical, but not too much so.

[marjasall]

Sorry that I have not responded sooner - woke up really ill this morning and the whole day has been a weird blur to me. But i'm starting to feel better now (felt like flu-symptoms).

I want to say "Thank you" to everyone for the nice comments that have been made about the cover. I'm very happy that it has been so well received. I'm looking forward to doing alot more for FO! in future issues.

I'm fairly new to the magazine (I must admit) and I have to say that I like it. I had no idea that it was done so well. This issue is excellent all around. I'm really enjoying it. I applaud everyone that puts this magazine together - you all do a great job! I can't wait to see the next one!

[treebore]

I wish you guys could get Lulu to list you on Amazon, it would save me $1.85 in shipping/handling costs.

[greyharp]

I was going to say this in a pm, but given some of the comments in the Ron Edwards thread I thought a bit of public praise wouldn't go astray.

Cal, thank you for all 6 issues of Fight On! You have done a brilliant job and I for one have complete trust in your ability to continue to put together a consistently fantastic Old School magazine. Well done.

I'm gonna have to agree with this totally. Very well done, Cal!

[terje]

Another great issue! Thank you Cal for all the work!

[akrasia]

I can hardly wait to dig into this issue! It looks brilliant, as usual. Thanks to Calithena for his endless labours, and marjasall for the wonderful cover.

[calithena]

Thanks guys! I'm really pleased with this one and think we're still moving in the right direction.
