Notes
An ominous note on page 2 of StarDrive Volume 1, Number 1 - the rebranded issue following StarDate Volume 3, Number 6, that also attempted to sever ties with FASA - states Clifford VanMeter was "released from his employment [with Reluctant Publishing] as of 11 December, 1987." When asked about it and the circumstances further alluded to in the editorial, he replied to Johannes Heidler in a private mail on 27 November, 2007: "Not sure about the StarDrive thing you referenced. I left Reluctant Publishing because they couldn't pay me, simple as that."
