We had a trip to a factory last issue, now it looks like it’s one of their periodical attempts to add firearms to a fantasy setting. It takes hard work by the druids and wizards to keep secrets esoteric and prevent technology from moving forward. Let’s find who’d responsible this time around and if you’ll get to keep their stuff for any length of time after dealing with them.Editorial: Chris Perkins has boasted before about writing enough rejected adventures to fill the magazine for several years on top of being editor if he were so inclined. But despite his joking displays of egotism, he knows that this place works better as a collaboration. So the editorial is actually written by the other Chris, Mr Thomasson (almost as bad as hollywood leading men around here) and talks about the roles the rest of the staff play, their favourite movies and their favourite monsters. Art Director Larry Smith likes Mind Flayers & Young Frankenstein. Publisher Johnny Wilson also likes Illithids, but prefers the Godfather. Dave Gross likes dragons and Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. Perkins is a fan of Jaws and Beholders, while Thomasson himself picks The Shawshank Redemption and Blink Dogs. Not a huge amount of in depth analysis, but it gives us something to think about, possibly to check out as well if you haven’t already seen these. (not that any of them are particularly obscure or hard to find even now.) What would your responses to these questions be and why?Letters is rather sparse this month. First letter notes that they recently did an online-only Side Trek on the website and wonders if there’s more in the pipeline. You’re in luck, because several other things have been released online only as free .pdfs recently. Make sure you download them now, because they’ll be gone in a few years time. The only other one is your basic complaint about the whole idea of releasing a new edition, particularly one that forces them to release a whole new set of supplements redoing old ground under new rules. Surely they could continue doing at least one 2e adventure per issue for the sake of the holdouts? Nope. It’s a clean sweep and nothing’s gonna change the way they feel inside. Trust us, once you actually see the new rules you’ll agree they’re a vast improvement in so many ways. And that’s not even mentioning how fast the OGL will let the new edition blow past the number of old supplements and add new ones they would never even have thought of let alone let past approvals as a single big company.</blockquote>
