The Central Mailer Says...

This Issue's Edition

Welcome and News from the CM

Martin Maenza

World of Maenza: Online #5

Not only will heart surgery not stop Martin from cranking out the WoM goods, but neither will getting a new job and moving to a new city! Martin keeps on keeping with two new Protectors stories ("Hate for the Eight" and "Entrapped by the Octagon"), three villain profiles of Octagon badasses (The Mimic, Shadow Dancer and Timewarp), and some Heromachine designs on some heroes and villains on his Victoria City page. Did someone say "Omniverse"? This could be the opening salvo that gets it all going again...

Dave Mattingly

Power Point #3

Dave returns (woo hoo!) and brings us up to date on his Noble Foundation campaign happenings, presents a very disturbing (and disturbed) villain named "Piece Keeper" (you might find a bit of yourself in him...), and talks about the latest offering from Blackwyrm Games..."The Fires of War" (The Algernon Files Vol. 2), a sourcebook jammed with golden age and pulp goodness, including over 100 fully written up characters, and all using the Hero System!

Michael O'Connell

The F Word #4

This time around, you get to check out the all-new look to the Forte 2000 web page (starting off with the stunning Forte 2K full-color group shot by Eryck Webb), feast your peepers on the greatly expanded Forte 2000 Gallery with lots of new works, read a fun e-mail correspondence between Forte 2000 members ("Birthday Girl", by Michael, Aaron Storck and Ben Bellot), and check out a Forte Universe web ad.

K.C. Ryan

Son of Thunder #3

Note that the link above takes you not directly to S.o.T. #3, but to the index page of the just-opened kcryan.com. That main page lets you go either to K.C.'s Americana page or his Son of Thunder page. Thought everyone should get a chance to see the new domain from the front door on. In this S.o.T., K.C. introduces the HUGE (I can't emphasize that word enough) Americana art gallery for your viewing pleasure, and in a new Americana tale called "Opening Day", K.C. takes you out to the ball game.
