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...

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...

After a rather lengthy hiatus, we're delighted to venture back into the gaming magazines of old for our regularly scheduled White Dwarf Retrospective. Issue no. 5 begins with a few delightful ads—a ¼ page for Dungeons & Starships, another ¼ page for Warriors of the Lost Continent minis, and a ½...

Amid the fungi and dense foliage of a forest, a timid a warrior fends off the brazen attacks of raven with murderous intent. Alice in Dungeonland, Monsters of Mild Malign and Hyboria all receive top billing. Quarter page ads for Warriors of the Lost Continent (miniatures), Games Centre, The...

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...

Good evening fellow Storm Knights, travelers of the Cosms, and veterans of The Possibility Wars! Last time we met, I brought you the knowledge and wisdom of our benefactor Darrell Hayhurst. Today, we bring you a glimpse of what's happening in the world of Torg Eternity and a few other Ulisses...

Thanks again! I'm happy to keep writing them. For me, it's a way to reconnect with the past and perhaps learn about things I may have overlooked through the years. Sometimes I may not realize the significance of something right away, but that's part of the fun. I'm writing the recap for issue #4...

That's a great suggestion! Here is the first issue http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?5511-White-Dwarf-Revisited-%97-Issue-1-June-July-1977 Here's the second http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?5829-White-Dwarf-Revisited-%97-Issue-2-Aug-Sep-1977

Thank you!

That is an amazing bit of information! Thanks for sharing! I didn't even make the connection. For the next installment, I'll have to look up the names (of the letter writers) and see if they have any unique connections as well.

Amid the backdrop of a dank cave, two adventurers prepare for battle with a man in the process of transforming into a werewolf. A lone treasure chest sits at the foot of the warrior as a spider looms above. Below, this issue promises to teach readers how to paint Conan and do some solo dungeon...

In January, our contacts over at Ulisses North America arranged an interview with EN World. Ostensibly about the Torg Eternity: the Nile Empire (the massively successful Kickstarter had just finished), the interview eventually expanded into more about role-playing, the world of Torg, the...

I can ask Darrell about that, but I can't guarantee an answer! The Nile Sourcebook is going to be great. The next part of this interview covers it in more detail. IIRC, April should see it's release.

Interview with Darrell Hayhurt, Ulisses North America - Part One It's been a few weeks since the last Ulisses North America update, but there’s a very good reason why. We have some exciting news today. In January, our contacts over at Ulisses North America arranged an interview with EN World...

They're similar to the Starfinder maps, but I think the City version has some Imperium insignia. The desert side is pretty generic. I'll be at the FLGS later this week and I'll see about snapping some photos for you!
