Rationale for the magazine

After a 15 year break from gaming two of my old friends met up with me last summer and we decided to start playing again.  One of them told us about a game called Labyrinth Lord and since then we've not looked back.  We meet up around once a month and already have 2 campaigns on the go.

Playing again had me sorting through boxes of old magazines and games from the attic with rediscovered interest.  After flipping through some early back issues of White Dwarf I got thinking how great it would be to have a magazine that would suit gaming's old school renaissance.  When I thought some more, I decided that I could produce one, and two days later I'd had a list of ideas for articles a couple of pages long and the name.

I plan to release the first issue of the magazine in April and it will be a $2 download from www.rpgnow.com  I'm currently working on the layout but expect the magazine to be 30+ pages for the launch.

Next week I'll put up a contents list for the first issue.

Run for your lives!
