Mysteries of the Sith
I'm sure you all know what 'Mysteries of the Sith' is. The soon-to-be add-on pack for Jedi Knight has prompted quite a stir with lots of info and screenshots appearing on the web in recent weeks. So I decided to track down all the info I could on it and offer up some analysis...
Interogation Room C
Once a month, we drag a poor unsuspecting innocent into Interogation Room C and force the truth out of them. This month's interview is different, John "Jumbo" Santos must journey into the Black Sun offices to meet their leader, Annex.
Assigning COG to Keys
Earlier this month, Brian Taylor (our resident Buffy fanatic) released his own version of the Grappling Hook....what differed his from previous versions was that the patch did not replace a weapon or item, but rather ADDED the grappling hook as a new item. Now he shows us how to do the same...
Class is in! - Tutorial

Mr Movie's Rantings
Geoffrey Elliott has not only been hard at work on his JK Academy web site, but he's also been slogging it out with the video camera shooting scenes for his second home made movie....


Fiction

Ashalaa
The story of the making of a Jedi. Last month Kira, trapped in a smashed up Cantina, lost his best friend. No time to greive though as hostile forces are closing in . . .
Interactive Story
This is where you, the readers, can write the next chapter of a continuing saga, Darkness Falls- The Story. Simply write it, email me it, and the best one I receive will be printed next issue. This month Paul A. Keifer has written Kyle into quite a predicament :)
