actually, there is oNE article awaiting, and it's not an RPG one so I can't speak about how usable it is. We NEED more submissions.

it's a tabletop game review that you wrote SE.  I dono what Fell's scedule is like this week, what with the moveing to logan and new job, so maybe we should take this time to ask him if he needs us to post articles in his stead this week?

See what happens when I don't submit anything?

I've been planning a Book Review and two RPG based article, each about something to consider to make a game a bit more interesting. I've been planning thes efor a while, as well as my CD game. If you're lucky, tomorrow I'll get off my butt and start writing. More likely, they'll be finished sometime around July.

Thanks to my commute and current computer situation, I'm virtually cut off from the outside world for a while. I delegate to SE and Tage (if they're willing, of course) the job of posting articles. Thanks for your help, and I'll do my best to get back online as quickly as I can.

I can take over the article administration for the time being. As a note to all department heads, anytime an article gets approved it leaves a little note for an admin, so (assuming I check the admin page, which I'll start doing) I'll see that you approved an article. If you want to be doubly-sure, just IM me or post a note here in this thread.

I'm posting the last article in our waiting list, so unless we get something else in we won't have any updates.

SE, you didn't put a score on the Zendo review, but it was very favorable so I stuck a "5" on it. Let me know if it should be something different.

I'll have a flash game for friday or monday depending on how log it takes to debug, but it's a simple program so shouldn't take too long.  Also I have to write a review for the StarWars D20 book fell gave me like 2 months ago, and if I feel like it I'll do a FFXI review.  But I doubt I'll do the reviews till this weekend.

yeah, 5 is fine.
Also, with the current drought, even if you see more than one article approved, I'd encourage you to only do a blurb for one of them.

sorry about no article today, guys. I fully intended to write up something quick this morning on one of half a dozen topics. However, continuing the freakiest winter ever, we got 1/8" of snow last night/this morning. Apparently, this 1/8" was a sneaky and deceptive amount of snow with superhuman powers, for it has cause more acciendents than the several inches we got last month all put together. I'm supposed to be in the office at 8, I got here not earlier than 10:45, so you can tell how sucky my morning has been. It does not look like I'll have an article done before 6 or 7 tonight, in which case we'll just post it next week. In the mean time, all of you can feel free to contribute a bunch of articles so we can keep up our track record.

I just approved an artilce in RPGs on the Babylon 5 RPG, too. Just thought I'd point it out so you'd know to blurb it, Tage.

Btw, I haven't been able to see it, but there's an article waiting we should probably get approved and posted. I have 5 articles ready to write, they'll go up soon (and my last Avalanche Press product is almost ready too). I know Jeffe has some button Men we haven't reviewed yet too. I'll email him about how I'm doing mine and see if he wants to do the same. And Entropy, haven't you been playing DBA Online with that account we got you? Can we get a review out of that?
