Site News: Last Resort #7 submissions
Posted by bri_aitsya in the forum
You got a really cool idea for Alternity? A short story, set in one of the published settings, or your own homebrew? How about that uber-death ray blaster that can double as an intergalatic space freighter? (Ok, that last one was just silly...) If you have an idea that has been, or perhaps needs to be in print for the rest of us to use and abuse, submit to Last Resort! For a springboard of ideas, you can check out the column titles we have in the table of contents for underutilized columns LR has such as Domain Virtua for Gridsites, or perhaps Future Shock!, tech of PL9+.

Perhaps your talents lie in the more visual, and you can sketch weren in your sleep, or render a starship in some computer program... if you'd like to get your art out there, and would like to work collaboratively with a writer's vision... sign up for the Last Resort!

Last Resort is a volunteer effort of fans of Alternity for the fans of Alternity... To join, navigate your way to http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/lastresortmagazine/ or drop me a line with your intentions... Please put "LR7 Submission" in the subject line so my spam blocker won't eat your hard work.

Site News: Account clean up
User Accounts will be deactivated due to inactive email accounts after the next resource is uploaded.

Deactivated accounts are still in the database, but they do not show on the User Register, if the user account has a forum account as well (as all new members do) the forum account member group is shown as "BAD EMAIL".

This is reversible if anyone wants their account restored, just email terrox at this domain.

Also the "Age" status in User Register pages will become "Last Login" (as Age is part of the forum as well), after a year of inactivity we might automatically "hide" accounts which are not accessed so we have a more useful measure of site usage by real humans.

Update: A lot of inactive accounts were created in 2006. Was that some sort of reaction to D20 modern?
