The trouble with spaceships is that when they crash, they crash hard. Getting down to ground level with the occupants and contents safe and sound is an engineering challenge in itself. The people on the cover seem to have managed it, but whether they'll be able to survive the planet where they've landed and get it flying again is another matter entirely. Let's see how they build on this premise inside. Notes from HQ: They've been struggling to get more reader submissions ever since they started the newszine, so it reflects what the fans want and the staff don't have to work quite so hard.  Maybe one of the things deterring them is how strict they were on everything submitted becoming TSR's Intellectual Property. So they've decided to loosen that up a bit and allow you to retain some rights to own and resell your words. (although any new rules you add to their games still belong to them) A good reminder of the rules of supply and demand. They've chosen to be nicer because they aren't getting enough supply, and therefore have to actually listen and respond to people's complaints. Let's hope they don't get too big for their boots for a good long while. Letters: After a year of the letters column being mostly absent, due to lack of people writing, Roger's somewhat tone-deaf sexism column provokes a ton of responses, mostly rather cross. If he's trying to be helpful, he's not doing a very good job of it. You'd get less criticism if you were obviously on the other side. Which is another of those things that hasn't changed at all in social justice circles over the intervening decades. The grind to reach equality is considerably longer than the one to get to 36th level, and just as prone to sliding backwards due to energy draining undead who think things were perfectly fine back in their day, don't you know. We'll probably be seeing more on this in the near future.</blockquote>
