Issue four. It's been a whole year hasn't it?

If you've been with us from issue one then we would like to say thank you. Thank you for reading, thank you for sharing, thank you for your time and interest. We'll keep it up in the next year.

If you're new to the Eye and this is your first issue, then thank you for the blind leap into reading us. Pick up the back issues, I promise it's worth your time. Welcome aboard!

This quarter's issue features a scenario from Marc Huete. If you've been paying attention, you'll recognize his name as the author of Continuity, this year's ENnie Gold winner for Best Electronic Book. The scenario in this issue is a great continuation of his work. Let us know how it goes with your own group, we're thinking of adding a 'kill count' to our scenarios.

We also have a collection of articles focusing on avians and other mercurials this time around. If Panopticon's expansion on uplifts wasn't nearly enough for you then keep reading we have more for you.

Extra credit for this issue goes to our editorial staff for their hard work polishing all the articles in this issue. You went above and beyond on the project. And of course to Donnie Clark, our layout editor. Your work remains spectacular.

This year has been a wonderful experiment and we've learned a lot that we will be using in 2012. (Assuming the world doesn't end.) We have scenarios in the works for the coming year and we're always looking for more authors and artists to join us.

If you have questions, comments, letters for us send them to the_eye@firewall-darkcast.com and we'll be glad to answer in the next issue.

We'll see you in January!
