A solid issue though I was in two minds over "Mordenkainen's Art of War!" While I enjoyed the meta-gaming tactics discussed I was hoping for something a bit more, well, Mordenkainenesque. It looks like the editing staff were looking for a snappy headline for what could be seen as a slightly dry article and decided to slap the moniker of Greyhawk's favourite mage on it.
I can just picture it ....
Dragon guy #1: "Hey, we've got this submission about the tactics of using heavy-hitting spells."
Dragon guy #2: "Cool. Let's run with it. What should we call it?"
Dragon guy #1: "Hmm ... how about 'War Magic'?"
Dragon guy #2: "Good, but how are we going to get those miserable, old Greyhawk veterans to read it? You may as well call it 'The Lightning-Rail Riding War-Forged's Art of War'!"
Dragon guy #1: "Ummm ... I'm sure Mordenkainen's been in a war or two ..."
Dragon guy #2: "I like how you think, my stalwart companion! And now, to the alehouse and the buxom wenches contained therein!"
