by Innate Mak, Editor-In-Chief Untap, Upkeep, Draw!! More Changes in Beyond Dominia Since our first issue in June 1996, Beyond Dominia has experienced tremendous growth in both size and popularity. From that first issue, with our entire content of two articles, we have grown and expanded. As of the time of this writing, our 7th issue, March 1997, contains 14 articles written by our wonderful staff of 22 contributors and editors. We have also expanded to meet your needs; from its humble beginnings, the Rumor Mill has now expanded into four separate boards, with two more planned. We have also added the Magic Joke Collection, and are feverishly working on our newest project, the Magic Software Central (more details about this further below). As Beyond Dominia continues to expand, we realized that a site redesign and reorganization is much needed. The old familiar front page is fast becoming cluttered and disorganized; in its current state, it is a poor guide to exploring the different facets of the site. So, in the upcoming weeks, you'll notice gradual changes to Beyond Dominia; we're giving it a new look, as well as reorganizing the site into 4 general areas, with one new area on its way... so, without further ado, here's how Beyond Dominia will be organized soon... Beyond Dominia   This Month's Issue Monthly Articles and Columns Latest Magic News   The Magic Joke Collection Collection of Magic jokes, nicknames, and funny/cool card creations   The Sideboard The Sideboard will stay as the main "interaction" place, featuring : The Rumor Mill The Strategy Mill Type I Mill (coming soon) Type II Mill (coming soon) War Mill (coming soon) Magic Chat Room (coming soon) The Trading Post The Question of the Month Book-Talk   Other Magic Pages (still looking for a good name) The Magic Site of the Month The Magic:the Gathering Resource Launchpad   And finally... Magic Software Central The ultimate guide for all Magic: the Gathering software and computer games!! Featuring reviews, ratings, tips & hints, screenshots, and more!! Well, that's what we're planning... hope you'll like it, and find it much easier to travel through our site!! Of course, if you have any comments, feel free to e-mail them to me at i***i@o***w.edu   Beyond Dominia's newest Senior Contributors This issue, Beyond Dominia is proud to recognize four of our contributors as senior contributors. They have all contributed regularly and dedicatedly since we went back to the monthly format... and these people are, in alphabetical order : Michael Harney Better known as "Da Sarge", Michael's extremely controversial commentaries produce debates wherever it goes. Not afraid to question WotC or DCI, Michael likes to rant about issues that many people shy away from. While we must stress that all of Michael's commentaries are his opinions and not necessarily ours, we have to agree that his articles are interesting. Whether they're right, or wrong, is up to you to decide.   Brett Martin Better known writing under his pen name, Silas Benforth, Brett has been contributing monthly fan fiction pieces which are praised by whomever reads them. Brett has a wonderful ability to bring his story to life; most people agree that only one section per month isn't enough! His current project with Beyond Dominia is Into Oblivion, the Quest for Lim-Dul.   Brad Smits Brad is a unique contributor in the fact that he contributes in two different sections, Deckbuilding and Art. A look at his decks or his artwork shows that he is quite creative; his art piece in this month's issue is already getting good reviews, and it's been out for only a day (at the time of this writing)... check it out!   David S. Wilson David's monthly "Stretching Dominia Dollars" column is fast becoming a mainstay at Beyond Dominia. Guaranteed to be filled with excellent tips on getting more bang for the buck for a featured expansion set, Stretching Dominia Dollars is a "must read" for any Magic player! Also be on the lookout for David's fun Magic play variants. [ Back to March 1997 Table of Contents ] [ Back to Beyond Dominia ] Magic: the Gathering is a Registered Trademark of Wizards of the Coast
