[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 3483699, member: 1515"] Well, "re-released." The first incarnation of Polyhedron was the newsletter / newszine for the RPGA. In that format, it started in the early 80s, with the launch of the RPGA itself, and continued until around 2002. That's when RPGA membership became "free for life"; I can't remember if Polyhedron ceased publication before then. The second incarnation of Polyhedron was from Paizo; it became the "d20 system" side of Dungeon, in an effort by Paizo to increase interest in Dungeon (and stave off its cancellation). That ran from 2002 to 2004. The third incarnation was what Glyfair notes above; about a year or two ago, RPGA announced reviving Poly as a free online magazine. The content was pretty thin, and, as Glyfair notes, it didn't last very long before just sort of quietly fading away. The fourth incarnation occured last year, when WotC announced an e-newsletter (which, as several have noted, fundamentally just consists of links to recent articles on the WotC web site). For some reason, they've attached the Poly name to it (maybe to keep the name alive for later use). [/QUOTE]
