Everyone loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The four amphibious brothers are a cultural institution at this point. Back in the 1980s, however, they were still more of an underground affair. All that changed when Playmates toys and the 1987 Fred Wolf cartoon came around, but there was definitely a point when enjoying TMNT was a very different experience.
By this issue, White Dwarf seems to have hit its stride. The first page of this issue greets readers with a full page of ads for various fantasy miniatures. What follows is a brief editor’s note from Ian Livingstone and the table of contents. This month’s topics cover the announcement of White Dwarf’s one-year anniversary, a statement regarding Games Workshop’s new headquarters, a small price...

On Dungeons, Lasers, and 3-D Terrain for RPGs

Maps, miniatures, and dungeon tiles are a major part of many D&D games these days. I’ve used them extensively in most of my past games and nothing beats a well-painted, easy-to-use miniature or piece of terrain. Terrain itself figures prominently into most miniature-based wargames, but in my experience, there’s always been a lack of high-quality terrain for D&D. Luckily, Poland-based Archon Studios—a company already involved in creating high-quality miniatures—is aiming to change all of that with their new product line, Dungeons & Lasers.
