Where we're at

[calithena]

I have everything I need in hand to finish the issue. I have three things to overcome and then we are there.

1) Finishing layout.

2) Converting to PDF. My refurbished computer no longer has Acrobat on it so I need to either find some free software or wait until August 22 when I return from the mountains.

3) Finding internet access. I am going to the upper peninsula of Michigan where this is not always easy.

So, it's possible work-wise that the issue will be out as soon as Tuesday, but realistically it may be more like two weeks from Tuesday. If there are any FO! fans with the right software and internet access in the UP, drop me a line - this might happen sooner. We really are close to done here.

All of you who are going to Gencon, have fun, and be sure to show off your Fight On!s!

The good news is that we'll still have another cool issue of the magazine out this summer, and more after that. :-) Sorry again for the delays.

You'd have to download it, which may not be possible for you right now, and it may not have exactly the same functionality as Acrobat, but PDF Creator may do the job.

PDFCreator has already been mentioned. PDFill is also a good program, and it also lets you "stitch" several PDFs together into one file ... useful if (like me) you like to work with smaller files in your layout software.

Here is the link:

Thanks guys. I have brief email contact right now. We'll see. It will be out before the end of August in any case, I was just really hoping for before GenCon. Daughter is still doing well. Have fun and I'll be back in a week!

I have sent the "Staff of Wingenback" and the illu to Iggy, would it be better if I sent it to you, too?
