Issue #38 of Mongoose Publishing's Signs & Portents pdf magazine is available for download. Here's an overview of the issue, which is divided into Wargamer and RPG sections:

SIGNS & PORTENTS 38 - WARGAMER
We have random event cards for Mighty Armies, new Drakh vs. EarthForce in A Call to Arms, and the Gorith Campaign for Starship Troopers. If that is not enough to get you going, we have new official ships for A Call to Arms (including the all new Sagittarius and some new Drazi hulls), the Rebel Colony Army List for Starship Troopers, and the Transdime speciailist for Gangs of Mega-City One. This is on top of all the usual terrain and tournament articles, making this issue jam-packed with new things to try out!

SIGNS & PORTENTS 38 - ROLEPLAYER
Flight of the Redhelms gives you a chance to use the mysterious aliens from Season 5 of Babylon 5, while we also continue the 2nd Edition coversion guide. For RuneQuest, we take a look at Enchanted Items, and also a new system of random character generation. Have fun with those! There are also articles for the Judge Dredd and Conan RPGs, and we wrap the issue up with an investigation in Mega-City One for Judge Dredd.

I'm consistently impressed by the quanity of projects that Mongoose takes on and the increasing quality of their work. While I wasn't overly taken with Starship Troopers, A Call to Arms remains my favorite ship-to-ship space combat game and and Conan simply rocks. The PDF zines are a great way of tying all their products together, and make for some very good reads, so check them out.
