[QUOTE="Thondor, post: 4671792, member: 31955"] For various purposes I'd like to compile a list or index of all print magazines that deal with RPG's. Of course I expect that D&D related magazines will receive the most comprehensive treatment. The attempt is to inumerate the following characteristics of each magazine: Name; average page count; subject area; frequency; number of issues to date; available in .pdf, ("newstand") price, subscription price, website Responders should feel free to offer corrections, new information, tell me what I've missed, and wax poetic about the magazines they like.
