As usual, they have to remind us about the niggling little technical details; they don't have the budget for color, so B&W illustrations only, and use ink or paint, not pencil, as that doesn't show contrast properly when being scanned. Plus the stylistic ones, realism, not ridiculous hypermuscled characters wearing impractical clothing and for gosh sakes stick to the code of conduct! As with the writing guidelines last issue, not much change since 1983 then, and there won't be until WotC takes over and decide to go for a more edgy direction with the 3e art. Not very exciting for me to read about.Regional Directors: Along with the reminders of how to submit to the magazine, it's time for our irregular updates of the list of regional directors, so you know who to write too if you have a problem. They're up to 40 now, although it's still a pretty uneven distribution. 31 USA ones, with some states having multiple and others none. (Texas has 4!) Three for australia, one each for Germany, Canada, Mexico and Sweden, plus ones specifically devoted to US military expats and the general management of Raven's Bluff.  We have lost a few people since last time, with the loss of a dedicated online advisor particularly surprising, but the overall trend continues to be upwards. Hopefully that will continue to be the case next time they do this.Exclusive Savings: We finish things off by bringing back the exclusive mail order bargains for RPGA members. T-shirts, sweatshirts, baseball caps and belt buckles, featuring famous D&D characters and iconic monsters! Now with free shipping if you send your order before September! Very cheesy. Reckon these are rare enough to have appreciated in value if you sold them second-hand?Another issue that's hard work, but in a more interesting way than the last one, showing them exploring new areas and trying to expand once again. Some of the things they're trying probably won't succeed, but you can't know which will and won't unless you actually go through with it, and it's nice that they do have the resources to throw lots of them out in quick succession to see what sticks. On we step to see how treacherous the next stone in this lengthy crossing of history will be.</blockquote>
