Even though it's not the title of the magazine, they still have a dragon on the cover. I guess they are in the name of their biggest game, so they still have good reason to use them, but hopefully it won't be every year, otherwise they'd be stepping on their other magazine's toes. Let's see what they're up too, and how differentiated it is from their other products this time around. Notes from HQ: Well, straight away they remind us that their primary focus is on conventions and tournament games in a way that Dragon wasn't. Come to both Gen Con's, meet the big name designers, and get very very drunk with them. Should be fun. As I noted last issue, it's still a good way from media training and focus groups blanding everything out, and they haven't been big long enough to get a strong separation between the designers and regular players. Enjoy it while it lasts. Notes from overseas: Getting more international penetration is an important part of their expansion plan. We already know from issue 3 that the UK has it's own semi-independent RPGA branch, which is actually more popular per capita than the USA one. So here they tell us what other countries also have at least one member, and which ones will very shortly as people are sending applications as they speak. Mostly european countries, but there's at least one on every continent. Another of those pleasing little signposts that shows how fast roleplaying was expanding back then.White Rabbits: Yet another apology that things are going to be late and cost more than they thought they would. They're doing their best, but logistics are still an eternal struggle. It'll be worth it in the end, and they'll even throw in a few more cool goodies for you to buy if you like. This is getting repetitive, so nothing more to say here.</blockquote>
