Yup, the hundredth issue of Flagship has now reached its readers. If I
tried to pat myself on the back about this I couldn't reach the
keyboard, so I'll just say thanks to everyone who's contributed to this
special issue and to our previous ones.

We've gone up to 60 pages, quite a few in colour. PBM articles cover
new games and old: Dungeonworld, Destiny, Lords of the Earth, Legends,
StarFleet Warlord and the new Middle-Earth scenario, Battle of the Five
Armies. We also publish our annual list of players' ratings. For online
gaming there's an article on Asheron's Call and another exploring
Yahoo's initiative in renting out computer games. For boardgames, we've
reviews of Age of Steam, and the expansion sets for Lord of the Rings
and Starfarers of Catan, and also an account of new games discovered at
Spiel '02. For tabletop gaming there's a review of recent d20
releases. Plenty of other news and chat, too, including lots of
players' comments about the games they play.

What else? Our founder Nick Palmer reveals all about the early days
of FLAGSHIP. There's a free CD with details of Battle of
the Five Armies plus a sample copy of Flagship on it (part of an
advertising campaign that's also going out to UK shops). Last but not
least, there's a generous special offer for the new area of
Dungeonworld.

I'm happy to have produced an edition which reflects the liveliness of
games and their players.

Subscriptions are possible through our website. But I'll send a free
sample copy of a recent issue (not 100 itself!) to anyone who's not
seen FLAGSHIP before and who emails me with his/her postal address.

Best wishes to all for the festive season - Carol
