[QUOTE="herald, post: 4038643, member: 1112"] But it's not that straight forward. Magazines are printed for and used by the players/DM who really want new fresh material on a regular basis. My 'zines were read by myself, my wife and my son as well as the many players that came to play at my house. So I have doubts that there are a one to one viewing on these publications.
