List of all RPG magazines

[grodog]

Hmmm, intriguing. Any idea whether the goal is quarterly (my guess) or monthly? Or if number of pages they plan to regularly print?

Matt "Mythmere" Finch (EiC) would have to comment, but my hunch is that KS will be vary in size based on content received to print.

Anyone read through Knockspell 1 yet? reactions? Seems relatively cheap for the pdf and rather expensive for the print version, maybe the cover art plays a roll in that.

I'm about half-way through it, and enjoying what I've read so far. Lulu in general strikes me a expensive most of the time....

Well if people want to start discussing e-magazines, feel free.

I highly recommend the Oerth Journal @ The Oerth Journal which is an excellent Greyhawk fanzine, with a long history back into the mid-'90s. Much of the content, while rooted in Greyhawk, can be ported easily to other settings or homebrews.

I think we should also mention Mongoose's free e-zine, Signs and Portents. as it does have stuff for Traveller, Dragon Warriors, 4E, Conan and back issues have 3.5E stuff in.

You can download it from their website.

Polymancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The latest issue I have is Volume 2, Issue #7 ISSN 1708-4474, printed in Canada.

They lean heavily on their myspace page. MySpace.com - Polymancer Studios - 101 - Male - Montreal, CA - www.myspace.com/polymancer

Their Podcast, MySpace.com Blogs - DiceCast has moved to a new URL: Official Polymancer podcast relocated for technical reasons - Polymancer Studios MySpace Blog

Hmmm, very interesting. Their website seems to be a bit of a mess, hard to navigate. (I'm not that familiar with myspace pages either, so a little lost there, plus my computer seems to be having a hard time loading them for some reason)

I notice you can get a free magazine (just pay the postage). This is especialls good for me given I live in Canada. I may do this.

I discovered that a year subscription is 24 ($canadian) for 12 +2 issues + shipping of course. But not much else. Do you or anyone else no the average page length?

Has Paladin actually come out yet? (New magazine aimed specifically at FRPG's, vaguely D&D centric I think) There doesn't seem to be an option to buy them.

The free Polyglot newsletter seems quite useful, especially to anyone interested in the gaming industry. Really surprised this is the first time I really heard about all this. (I do remeber Polymancer being mentioned briefly recently.)

All right a nice pile of updates in the first post. There's still a fair number of holes (shown by a ?? usually) that could be filled by anyone with more info then me, if you know please post below. The 'subject area' could probably be expanded better by people who have read them or work on the magazines for most of them.

As always if you know any I've missed, let me know.

Also go ahead an talk about the strenghts of the magazines. (you can critizize to of course but try to say at least one positive thing.)

Do you or anyone else no the average page length?

The ones I have are 48 pages including the front and back cover.

About Polymancer magazine

Since we're the publisher, I thought it would be appropriate for us to respond to this thread.


Polymancer magazine is a general magazine, covering roleplaying games and related hobbies. Articles are "system-independent," meaning they are meant to be useful to gamers, regardless of their rules systems or settings of preference. By the same token, the magazine is multi-genre, containing articles and adventures for fantasy, science fiction, horror, pulp, historical, modern day, and just about any other genre imaginable.

There is a a balance of content between that which is useful to gamemasters and that which is useful to players. There are regular columns and comics. Plus, there is a complete adventure scenario, playable right out of the book, in every issue of Polymancer magazine.

More information is available at http://www.polymancer.com. We are also always open to people who are interested in writing for us, who should contact us at writer@polymancerstudios.com

Paladin magazine details

Since we're the publisher of this one, too, we are happy to provide you with the information


Paladin is a quarterly fantasy adventure gaming magazine. The majority of the material for it will be for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game but articles for other fantasy RPGs will also be welcomed (e.g. Tunnel & Trolls). Moreover, "generic" or system-independent articles, that is, those which could be used by players and gamemasters of any fantasy RPG will also be accepted. Please note that with regard to D&D, we are only able to accept articles for D&D 3.x and 4th Edition due to licensing restrictions.

The emphasis in Paladin is on articles that gamers can use. This means they have stat blocks and references to rules mechanics whenever they are appropriate


More information is available at http://www.polymancer.com. We are also always open to people who are interested in writing for us, who should contact us at writer@polymancerstudios.com

Thanks for the details. Seems your website doesn't show up very well in Firefox (at least on two computers I've tried. It is better in Explorer, not sure why).

I can't seem to find how many issues you published of Polymancer or Paladin (I know Paladin is pretty darn new, has the first issue been released yet?)

Thanks again.

Anyone got anything new to contribute?

I'm trying to think of a place to put up this list . . . I suppose I could just put it in a blog entry here on ENworld, course I'd have figure out how to do that first.
