Re: AFS 5 - a call out for writers/submissions
This looks really amazing. I'm hoping AFS 1-4 will be back in print soon as i'm looking to order all of them.

Re: AFS 5 - a call out for writers/submissions
Scaly, if it is OK with you, I have two more subclasses in the works, and I would love to use AFS as the testing ground for them. One is a hunter class (fighter subclass) and the other is a seer (cleric subclass). Ideally, when we go to hardcover with AS&SH, I'd like to include these two classes as well as the cryromancer (magician subclass) and purloiner (thief subclass) as seen in previous AFS issues.

That would be awesome Jeff! I am already looking fwd to some other cool stuff for AFS 6 also that I think you will like from a British game author whose work I know you like. Hopefully he'll end up submitting something as discussed anyways. Sometimes you never know
Also - AFS 5 is starting to ship starting tomorrow in batches. I am finally at the stage to be producing magazines this evening and addressing envelopes. I will keep shipping them in batches for the next week or so probably. I do have a large handful of stock if anyone new orders. The initial 20 signed/numbered ones have been gone for awhile. Thanks!

Re: AFS 5 - a call out for writers/submissions
More sub-classes are always welcome!
I talked with Scott briefly and am hoping to have an adventure ready for AFS #6.

Re: AFS 5 - a call out for writers/submissions
Scott, I finally got a chance to read AFS 5 yesterday; it arrived while we were traveling. Nice work! The interview in particular is fantastic and fascinating, and the "D&D" adventure is really well made. Thanks for your work!

Thanks for the feedback Handy. Yeah I think there are some good bits in there, and that interview is enlightening. Ken St Andre seems to tell it like it is/was.
I might do another interview for AFS 6 as I think it breaks things up a little
