This issue, dear readers, brings the first year of Broadswords and Blasters to a close. We've got a weird Western kind of tale where people are missing their skins, and a special kind of video game that's more immersive than ever. We also have a simple act of theft leading to much deeper trouble, and a pirate ship that gathers curses like other ships collect treasure. You'll meet a man living in the future in a compartment, noticing the strangeness creeping in on him. Two strangers share a fire, but there's a dark connection there that will end in blood. And a crew of space pirates takes a salvage job that goes badly wrong.
