There's something very wrong here

I went to the bookstore the other day and noticed that there are no roleplaying magazines anymore yet there are SIX different magazines for pot smokers. There's something very wrong with this world. :\

Lowest common denominator at work.

Probably because there are more stoners than there are roleplayers?

Also most rpg mags were absolute rubbish so few people bought them twice.
If a stoners mag is complete tosh it's not like the readers are going to notice/care now is it?

BTW Privateer press do a mag for their Iron Kingdoms setting but unless you play the wargame as well I don't feel it is worth the money as most of it is given over to their wargame but what rpg stuff there is in it is generally quite good.

Stoners don't use computers or the internet to enhance or expand their "hobby" like we do. Dungeon and Dragon may not have failed as magazines, but there was a REASON they are no longer in physical print. Approve or disapprove as we may, OUR pasttime at least grows, changes, and adapts. Stoners will always just be stoners no matter what they put in their magazines.

But what about those of us that don't want to read their magazines online? I like my magazines in my hands, dead tree versions. I was a loyal Dragon reader from #27 to #359. They lost my loyalty and my dollar by going digital...

Tree murderer!

So what's more carbon-friendly, distributing a magazine in paper form or electronically?

There's three active gamer magazines I know of: Kobold Quarterly, No Quarter, and White Dwarf. Ok, maybe WD is less RPG than minis, but it's not completely barren out there.

I may be/probably am wrong, but does Troll Lord Games put out a magazine? Maybe it's not them, but I thought I saw a magazine by someone focused on C&C a couple of times.

Yeah, but they ain't at the bookstore anymore.

I'll promise to switch to electronic Dungeon when you switch to digital toilet paper, tree murderer!
