I was under the impression that it was a much older magazine based on the numbering used in the Dragon Magazine archives. What most likely meant volume 2, number two (or issue 6) is numbered as STRV 202. I mistook it for a much old publication that was utilized by miniature wargamers, possibly purchased by TSR at some point early in their growth as a company, much like Gen Con.The point I was making about the not including board games and strategic games was that change happens. What seems like heresy today is often both accepted and embraced later. Did Gary Gygax really believe that Dungeons and Dragons would be around in thirty years when he launched it? Did he really believe that Dragon would be here this long after its inception? They had no more idea of its long-term survival than we have of this new online version. What if the online initiative fails but Pathfinder becomes a higher quality, more focused version of the magazines we know and love today?What bothers me is that we, as a community, are so conservative that we get so bent out of shape when change happens, and that we have such a strong sense of entitlement. The fact is that roleplaying isn't as popular as it used to be because of personal computers and MMORPGs. Heck, if the PCs we have today would have been around thirty years ago, the preferred form of roleplaying might have been online, not on a tabletop. The world is changing around us, and business has to either keep up or fall behind. I think this is a case of WotC keeping up. Don't get me started on the gamer sense of entitlement.</blockquote>
