What can I say? The title says it all. With this issue, I hope to get Other Hands back on a consistent, quarterly publication schedule (disrupted over the past year by my new duties as Assistant Series Editor for MERP). There have been a few changes in our production staff since our last double issue, but I think that the new situation will be very conducive to getting future issues out on time. All for better, since I’ve been accumulating a small mountain of submissions for the pages of this journal that are just waiting to see print.
Anyway, in addition to all our normal features I’ve decided the time was ripe to publish a rather lengthy piece I prepared some time ago: a “live” transcript of an on-line Kin-strife campaign I ran about a year ago. The original character stats have all been included for those GMs who might be in need of some colorful NPCs in their own game. I always find Campaign summaries of this sort to be very enjoyable reading — and valuable, since they often suggest ideas for how the scenarios of a published module might be adapted and actualized in a real game.
