Deleriad said:So, as it says in the new S&P, S&P is going away for a while. Does this mean S&P 93 is the last one until next year or will there be more before it retires to its secret lair?
The Dan said:Sad to hear that Signs and Portents is on hiatus – not least because I had a folder full of submission pitches for it ready to rock and roll. I know Mongoose have promised some support via the website (which is great news), so I was wondering if it’s worth getting in touch about things I was planning to contact S&P about?

I'm kind of gutted myself. I must admit to really enjoying working on S&P, despite the enormous amount of effort it required every month.
Mongoose Nick said:I would contact me so I am aware of you and let me know what you have in mind.
Mongoose Nick said:Undoubtedly Matt and I will be discussing game support while S&P is paused. I would contact me so I am aware of you and let me know what you have in mind. Then I can see if this is something we might be looking for.

Any chance of us submitting bigger stuff that could not be contained within the pages of S&P, like the proposed settings for RQ and Traveller we'd hoped we could get off the ground for the summer?

We _did_ consider this, something like a $1 or £1 recurring subscription via PayPal every month. However, S&P kind of needs a reboot anyway due to a shift in focus with our products (basically, more miniatures and boardgames).
At the moment, I am thinking S&P needs to be smaller and split into specific game lines. So, we have a Traveller issue that may only be 16-20 pages or so, but it is _all_ Traveller. Might be called something else too.
We'll have to see what happens.
