It doesn't take too long. We have streamlined a lot of the procedures, so that helps a lot.

If i may say one thing tho; there were certain areas where the text blended in with the background images, making it somewhat hard to ready. I found myself re-reading the same line a few times. Most notably in the "RP Guide" article. The light colored areas of the Romulan city-scape almost absorb the text.
Otherwise - fantastic work.

Euh, Firix we may have streamlined it, but it still took us 3 weeks in total.
We're more efficient at it now, but it still requires quite some time from start to finish for the magazine. A lot of time is spent on preperations, like gathering interview questions, contacting Cryptic, making sure we get enough articles every month, writers writing their their articles, Blaze taking care of the art, etc.
All in all quite some time is invested in it, but we streamlined it in such a way that the pressure on those involved is low these days.
As we say in the Netherlands, "many hands make light work."

We'll take that with us next issue. Thanks for the feedback!
