So, they've finally figured out their identity, and this is where the newszine as we know it really begins, just as Dragon started out as the somewhat less catchy Strategic Review for a year before transforming into the form we're more familiar with. The cover art takes a step up too, with Larry Elmore giving his take on the sexy world of cinematic espionage. Let's roll the bombastic orchestral theme tune, make Shirley Bassey an offer she can't refuse to come out of retirement for one last job, and prepare the circular matte background for the credits sequence. PolyhedronNothing rhymes with polyhedronSo writing a theme song for it is really dumbBeyond even the musical skills of … Joss WhedonPolyhedronPOLYHEDRON!It's rolls rule your heart, which is really ironicFor as a shape, it is purely platonic You think you can roll just one, but you're wrongPolyhedronThough it may be, translucent or opaqueIt can never be relied on, There's a chance that you must take when you rollPolyhedrons!What would a game be without polyhedrons? The most skilled always the champion Does that sound fun?PolyhedronPOLYHEDRON!Inextricably linked with roleplayingDon't hide your rolls or we'll know that you're fakingRoll low or high? Depends which game you're playingPolyhedron!POLYHEDRON!!!!!Letters: Our first letter is from someone confused about what's going on with Gen Con East. They had problems with the previous venue and it's staff, so they've moved it to a new one next year. Our second letter sees Gary comment on the interview of Jim Ward. If anything, it understated just how chaotic he is as an employee and a gamer. Be very wary of letting him into a position of authority. Muahaha!Thirdly, we have someone floating the idea of a DM training camp. For this to work they'd need both expert DM's to teach, and people willing to pay money to be taught. Are the logistics there for this to work? Now that's a very good question indeed, and if properly advertised in a place like this, probably. Watch this space.Finally we have someone complaining that polyhedral dice are too expensive. Are they really worth that much? Probably not, but as a small print specialty item, the network externalities aren't there yet. This'll definitely get better as time goes on, and even better still once 3D printing becomes a thing enabling small custom runs of all sorts of unique dice at much lower production costs.</blockquote>
