I know being merely a zine means they have a lower art budget, but this is barely a sketch. Who are these silhouetted adventurers, and what lies up the stairs? Could be virtually anything. Let's hope the interior has a little more time and detail put into it. The Third Degree: They haven't done RPG reviews for a good 3 years now, so the job is wide open to anyone who can be bothered to submit them. Jeff Cisneros takes a shot at it, using the framing schtick of a private investigator. (as would later appear in many reviews by notable forumite Dan Davenport) His first case is the Gamma World 4e corebook. His conclusions pretty much agree with the stated intentions in the previews, that it's a big improvement over the previous editions in organisation and worldbuilding, much more able to support long-term campaigns. Now the challenge is just finding enough people who want to play it to make up a group. A pretty blandly positive start. Will he stick around long enough to stamp his own personality on proceedings, give some more critical responses and tackle some more obscure products? Tune in to future issues to see what cases he takes on next!Notes From HQ: As usual, they talk about how Gen Con went a few months late, due to the way their production schedule works. Thankfully they don't have to repeat their complaints about flaky judges, although more people signing up is always welcome. The Spelljammer and Ravenloft tournaments did pretty decently, but it's the Fluffyquest benefit one, fittingly raising money for guide dogs that really attracted lots of attention, both positive and negative, and they fully intend to have another fluffy scenario ready to inflict upon us next year. I guess having something to love to hate keeps people engaged. Looks like next year will also have plenty to irritate me with then. Oh well, the show must go on.</blockquote>
