The background is in color, but the main character is in black and white? It's more commonly the other way around, but I guess either works as a means of creating emphasis. And simply inverting familiar tropes can be a good way to make them feel fresh, at least for a while. Let's see if this issue repeats familiar topics, manages to put fresh twists on them, or manages to come up with something completely original. Notes From HQ: Advertising is nice, but nothing beats the personal touch and getting feet on the ground. They managed to sign up 200 new people to the RPGA this Gen Con, twice that of the whole membership drive over several months. The number of tournaments, seminars, awards, etc was once again up from the previous year as well, so this is mainly a list of people who made particularly significant contributions without a huge amount of detail. They only manage to squeeze in future plans right at the end, talking about the 4th membership drive, which is focussed on increasing the size of existing clubs, and encouraging people to fill in Raven's Bluff's harbor district, as apparently there hasn't been enough emphasis on it's nautical side for their tastes yet. Seems like the bigger they get, the more there is to do, to the point where it's increasingly difficult to fit it all in. They really could do with a page count increase soon, just like Dragon and Dungeon at this time. Letters: First up is Lisa Stevens thanking the newzine for publishing their Ars Magica promotion, but pointing out that they've moved address recently, so if you want to write to them, it's already out of date. Hopefully it's because they're doing well and needed to expand. Second is a complaint about them using obscure monsters in adventures without telling us where to find the full write-up. Does the Fiend Folio really count as obscure now?! One of those things that's much easier to solve now with a quick google, so you can easily get a list of what books you still need to buy.</blockquote>
