I loved it, and still do. It was amazing prophetic, as well <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  There was a lot of good fiction. 'The Gun That Shot Too Straight' comes to mind. The story of the trial of the doctor who removed people's sensory abilities (They came to me!). The story about the evil-tainted swamp. John Gregory Betancourt's 'Slabs' stories. Certainly Niall of the Far Travels. Child of Ocean by Eluki bes Shahar. The one about the kid who tries to bind a dragon as a familiar.  The Ecology Of.. articles. The fiction bits about the Will-o-the-Wisp and the Harpy still give me creeps. The more recent one on the Feyr had the same effect <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> A second shout-out to the Leomund's Tiny Hut, esp. for the Cloistered Cleric and the Deryni articles.  Greenwood's first article (I think): From the City of Brass to Dead Orc Pass, about gates and D&D. I think this is the first mention of any FR location; others appeared in his articles on gems and designing a fantasy calendar (The Merry Month of... Myrtul?), and you first began to realize 'man, this guy has a tremendously detailed world behind these articles...'.  Katherine Kerr's articles (She'd later go on to write the Deverry series of books)</blockquote>
