They no longer have an april issue in polyhedron since they moved to labelling them with precise months, but this cover looks pretty goofy anyway. I'm guessing there's going to be at least one low content humour article in there, maybe more. Let's see if they've got what it takes to make me laugh this year.Notes From HQ: Despite all their efforts, the bystander effect is still irritatingly in force when it comes to recruitment. A pitiful 33 people out of nearly 10,000 participated in the recruitment drive. Some regions didn't even have a single entrant to award a prize too! When asked why, most people said they didn't try because they thought they had no chance of winning. Even though the prizes for winning aren't really the point, it's the making new friends and building a community that'll hopefully last a lifetime. They're more than a little annoyed, and make their feelings clear on this over the course of the editorial. You genuinely can make a difference just by showing up and doing the work every day, because a surprisingly small proportion of humanity actually do. They then realise they have to end on a positive, and spend a short paragraph selling their humour articles this year. It's a bit forced, but at least they tried. Hopefully they'll have some more reasons to be genuinely cheerful soon.50 Quotes Players Fear Most: The humor articles go straight to full speed with a burst of irreverent DM sadism that does exactly what it says on the tin. There are many many ways you can screw over the players, both IC and OOC. Sometimes, they'll even deserve it. Don't overuse them if you want to continue to have a group to torment. The kind of thing we've seen before, will see again, is mainly useful as a cautionary tale, and I can't think of much to say about.</blockquote>
