It's Monday already! - put down those retro artifacts and publish the newsie. Some of us can't get on with our daily routine until we find out about the new compo .

I'll have a and wait - I'm afraid that if it isn't out soon, I shall be forced to punish a subordinate. If some old women go home with dead arms and wedgies - on your head be it!.

The newsletter is waiting on some key (competition related) elements that are totally out of my control. I cannot even confirm if I'll get them today or not

So grannies near Van, beware.

What's the rush with new compo details anyway. The retro remakes compo is still out there for you to have a bash at. I know you are all waiting for my 'Splat' remake with eager anticipation.

Jas - Character Shop has been out for a few days now (http://charactershop.thegamecreators.com) - DarkMATTER 3 will be shortly, just finishing some renders for it.

Most of issue 19 is finished now, just the final compo details needed.

Nice, very nice. What sort of stuff's in it? DM2 has loads of pistols and sci-fi actors, just not enough other realistic weapons and realistic actors

Ah, DM3 off my wish list then. Wish i could get hold of more FRPG type models.

Character Shop is quite high up though for when i eventually get round to playing with models.

Cheers,

Jas

Rich, if we have information on these old games; should we like post up topics on them for people who don't know about them?
