[Balabanto]

As long as I'm around, I'll grovel for DH #42 previews.

No peeking. You wouldn't want to spoil your appetite.

I don't know what will be IN DH #42, but, as far as the issue itself...

... it will be the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

(Hope that doesn't put too much pressure on, Dave!)

No peeking. You wouldn't want to spoil your appetite.How about an appetizer? Or a "tide-me-over" snack? ;)

Sorry, but my writing might give you indigestion. :p

[Goradin]

How come it says do not buy on the page we purchase them?

[mattingly]

There should be another one there, that's the actual #42. The "do not buy" was an accident that came from the webmaster uploading the issue when he was away from his main computer, and was trying to remember all the steps to do it by hand. It'll be removed soon.

[Funksaw]

And -do- let me know what you guys think. I'm kinda psyched - this is my first gaming text publication :)

[Goradin]

Thanks, Mr. Mattingly for the reply.

CYBERSYSTEMS
