Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 7992163" data-attributes="member: 27780">Polyhedron Issue 12: May/Jun 1983part 1/632 pages. A different genre of aerial dogfighting from last issue's cover, as a pegasus and rider try to hit the weak spot on a dragon with a lance. They might just be onto something with that idea. Let's see if there are any good clues to the development of RPG history inside. From the Publisher: Our new management continue to make incremental changes every issue. You'll notice straight away that they've slightly increased the font size this time, slightly reducing the amount of content they need to fill the pages, but also making things look cleaner and easier to read. Just as important though, are the behind the scenes ones. They've moved Polyhedron to a different division of the company, so they can work more closely with their other periodicals, and enjoy the benefits of using experienced specialists on both. Weirdly enough, this actually moves them to a lower level of "officialness" though. Their pronouncements about the rules no longer carry the same weight as Gary's. (although technically, as company president, he could have contradicted them at any time anyway and had precedent. ) As they grow, the company hierarchy becomes increasingly complex and stratified, which may cause problems down the line. But for now, it's all upwards and onwards, as membership grows exponentially. From the Editor: Mary follows on from Kim, talking about the same changes, but from her perspective. The reason they can change things this fast is because they support each other's ideas, and encourage each other to do do more, and better. Which is how collaboration ought to work. Everyone brings their own skillsets and ideas, and together you accomplish more than the sum of your parts. If you also get to joke with each other and affectionately take the piss in the process, that's even better. Sounds like they're finding ways to keep their jobs fun, which is good.</blockquote>
