Lots of great shadow talk on the Puyallups's Gangs from the Dumpshocked crew. Focusing on the places and contacts now.

Was there anything you still needed in the way of submissions?

My current status is posted *here*
Besides some (1) Black Market entries (gear), (2) advertising (from criminal elements who would advertise in the DDH) and (3) artwork ( <- I need these three ), I think I've probably got enough content. I formatting the Review right now and then will start formatting the other Puyallup entries. If I get enough artwork in the next two weeks I might be ready for the first round of proof reading at the end of the month!

There is always 'what about issue #3?'...

If I get something pretty soon I would consider adding this, otherwise I'm way ahead of schedule right now and going to try to keep it that way.

What about issue 3!?

Seriously though what is going to be the focus of issue 3 so people can start thinking about it?

Let's get two in the bag first, Shortstraw. But, yes, let's think of this as just a step towards making a regular item!

I would like to move over to Tacoma. Do a focus like is being done for the Puyallups. Lots of variety in Tacoma: AAA -> E. I have maps already created showing KE Security Ratings....

Considering the number of warehouses and factories in the area, as well as residential and other such things, this is a great idea. My group was wondering, and almost complaining, about always going there.

Then they had to steal a cow.

:: Picking myself up off the floor :: OMG, best non sequiter. Evah!!! And what's worse, I know exactly what you mean.

Yay corp stuff!

Is it a cow with a frikking laser on its head?

No. Beg and I might tell the story again.

Please, oh please, can you tell us the story!

Keeping moving along, several more articles finished and formatted. I am expecting several pieces of artwork this week end and am pretty stoked about that (green [Done] is overwhelmed the blue & orange on the status).

Thanks to all the Dumpshocked who have been contributing Shadow Talking, most of that is being directly incorporated into the issue! By the way, it should weigh in around 40 pages.

Rather than derail the thread, I'll just post the link where it started long and ever ago.

Awesome. I don't suppose you have thought about writing any of those up in more detail for the fiction section of the magazine?

Where/how do I contribute Shadowtalk?

although most of them are locked now

I wanted to post my Black Market addition for shadowtalk comments but it appears the forum is locked. Oh well, I sent it to Redjack.

As I put a section into DDH, I lock the topic to signify that I have included it. That is to drive the focus towards new entries. I will be adding new stuff for comment over the next few days and of course, Dumpshocked are free to add their own.

Are we supposed to have permission to post a new topic there because I do not.

Doh! Try again.

Yep, she be good.

I don't see anything new...

Its not up to stuff yet I just tested the forums when you said we were to post new stuff as I tried to post a question there earlier and it didn't work.

My post worked, maybe it's functional now?

Hey, it looks like the contacts section is the last bit that needs doing, any tips on what we're going for in that section?

Well, RL ate up all the slack I gained up front, but we are still looking like it will publish according to the original schedule: 12/15.. may be a little light on artwork but some good material. I also have some great inspiration for the black market after some Missions work at ShaunCon!

What all are you still missing, Red?

Today I am trying to finish the Black Market and Scream Sheet columns. Once those and the Last Word is completed, it goes to the proofers.

Back on track to the original publishing date of 12/15.

Artwork is very lacking. All the artists got too tied up to follow through on their original commitments. I compensated as I could with renders and Method provided some cool maps.

Done!! Sending to the proof readers. When they give a green light, I will publish!!

Proof reading is going well... and by well, I mean a lot of clean up work is coming back.

12 days and counting until publication... Anxiously awaiting additional updates from proof readers...

PUBLISHED!

Four days early.

AWESOME!

Read it a couple days ago. Drek hot! Kudos to the team.
