Special Announcement

27th November 2002 - Christian Dunn, the editor of Inferno! has just informed me of some very exciting news. It seems that Gotrek & Felix are to have their very own Inferno! Special early next year and  it contains a novella entitled Redhand's Daughter, a comic strip, a gazetteer, and a specially written and illustrated article about the Siege of Praag. Bill also answers some questions sent in by the fans, there's a coupon which entitles you to a special G&F foil card for Warcry and I'm sure you'll all agree that the Greg Staples cover (above) is a cracker! 

Anyway, I am hereby giving you advance warning -  issue 36 goes on sale on April 28th, 2003 so make sure you don't miss out!

27th November 2002 - I am sad to report that the old quiz is now officially deceased. Alas, it is no more. Mourn its passing, people and move forward with your lives.  

Fortunately, it's not all bad news - some of it has come back to us, reincarnated as the all new and hopefully, improved Trollslayer Quiz and it is just waiting for you to test your mettle. Are you Slayer enough, I wonder....?

24th November 2002 - I've now set up an onsite message board for those who are not keen on joining the Trollslayer Group across on Yahoo. It's still in it's early stages so we may well have a few teething troubles with it so please bear with us if that's the case. 

Anyway, to help prevent spam, you will still have to register an email address but that's as formal as it gets.  Rules are simple: no spamming, no flaming and to protect the innocent, I'd appreciate it if you could watch your language. That's pretty much it. Have fun and don't be afraid to post....

21st November 2002 - Okay, the good news is the transfer to new hosting has now gone through! The bad news is, the site quiz needs tweaked so I've taken it offline for the moment! Hopefully, it will be back up shortly.

20th November 2002 - Okay folks, the Black Library have now unveiled a preview of Geoff Taylor's Dragonslayer cover art  for the new edition and it's fantastic - check it out now!

18th November 2002 - Sadly, Bill is still struggling with internet access so we continue to run a bit behind with the column. I'm going to refrain from giving the date it'll be up onsite by because that's just tempting fate! 

Normal service will be resumed just as soon as possible though.

18th November 2002 - Due to a major site overhaul, you may find that it will be down at some point this week and I'm tendering my apologies in advance here. Hopefully, the interruption will be minimal but as ever, nothing is guaranteed. 

13th November 2002 - The new Farseer Character Anthology and Gazetteer of places are both now online and I'd just like to thank Warren Beattie for all the effort he put into them. Be aware though, they contain major spoilers so if you haven't read Farseer, you may want to avoid them for the moment.

I do have to say that the man has done a top job though - thanks again, Warren!

10th November 2002 -  I am in the middle of a major site revamp at the moment mainly because the beast had taken on a life of its own and was just getting way out of hand! In the process, I have introduced a new look for the BooksSlayer Books & 40K Books sections and have slightly revised the Reviews ones too.

Obviously, there's always going to be a risk involved when doing something like this and there may be a few glitches. If you come across a page that doesn't work properly, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know at the usual address - many thanks!

6th November 2002 -  Due to the fact that Bill has just faced the fairly major upheaval of moving house and currently has only intermittent net access, we are running a bit behind with his usual monthly column. Hopefully it should be up by the end of next week but like most things in this life, there are no guarantees. I shall keep you posted though.

5th November 2002 -  Remember, remember the 5th of November.... because today's the day that all the Trollslayer Anthologies were finally completed! 

It's been a bit of a slog and I really must express my wholehearted thanks to the people on the Trollslayer Group for their help and to Robert Clark in particular for the sterling effort he put in on no less than three of the individual book anthologies. Take a well deserved bow that man! 

Now, for the first time, you can find all the people and places from the Slayer books together in one big guide. And it is big, folks so please allow a bit of time for the main pages to load up - I'd like to think it's worth it. 

Anyway, as always comments, corrections and omissions should be sent to me at the usual address

5th November 2002 -  Okay, first of all, I know  it's been awhile since our last site update so apologies for that - I shall try to keep on top of it a bit better in future.  There has also been a few issues with the server which may have meant that parts of the site have been inaccessible or on a go-slow and though these things are entirely outwith our control, once again my apologies for any inconvenience caused.  

There, now we've got that out of the way, time for the real news!
