I agree that trying for a quarterly release sounds like a good idea. It
should still give us (hmm, I guess by using the word 'us' I'm
volonteering to contribute and/or work on it ;-) enough time to put a
decent 'zine together, and be frequent enough to be called a 'zine.

A section detailing new spheres would be nice. It could either be a
bare-bones 'Give the GM ideas but let him flesh it out himself' sort of
thing with a new sphere each issue, or it could be a fully-detailed
thing, with each sphere being detailed over the course of several issues.

Well, I'm excited about getting some writing done again (for the first
time in a couple of years really) too! Maybe I'm not shooting quite as
high as you though...
If it helps, I could compile things into a PDF document, although I'm
strictly an amateur when it come to doing these sorts of things, so if
there's anyone who might be better at it, I would very happily step aside!
