What OTHER game magazines do you read? (besides Dragon or Dungeon)

[CarlZog]

I just learned, very belatedly, that EnWorld Gamer magazine has been cancelled. Very disappointing; I really liked it and its predecessor, the Players' Journal.

Looking for some alternative, I'm wondering what other game magazines people read and recommend -- BESIDES Dragon and Dungeon...

The sudden demise of EnWorld Gamer was a loss, I guess I was one of too few subscribers...in terms of other reading...I really mainly on Enworld itself! Though reading on the screen for long periods will cause eye strain...

Hi-
I always liked both Dungeon and Dragon magazines, Most are good, a few are bad. As for other D20 type magazines, never been interested just because I can pretty much get the same thing from WoTC's house organ mags.

A really cool gaming magazine would be one that is a throwback to the early dragon magazines IE one that publishes not just 3.5 stuff, but also Starwars advenuters, or wargame articles, even publishing stat blocks for 1E, 2E and 3.5 D&D Adventures so everybody can feel the love of D&D. Maybe a Warhammer FRP 2E adventure thrown in for good measure. A letters page to boot. But no feats or Prestige classes, theres enough out there to last a life time.

just my two cents

What other magazines are there?

I'm more of a miniatures fan these days so read a bit of Harbringer and White Dwarf and even sneak in a few issues of Warpstone when I find it, but while I enjoy Call of Cthulhu, those quarterly books are a little too expensive for my reading enjoyment (as I rarely play CoC, just enjoy the fiction and some times get to play), and most of the other magaziens don't fit my needs.

Heck, anyone remember the Scroll, Morningstar Rising, The Gamer's Connection or some of the other smaller mags? Most of those functions have been replaced by places just like this.

I mean, what else does anyone who can post to the internet really need?

You're probably right, and I'm sure the internet has killed a lot of small mags, but I still like them. There is something nice about getting a regular print magazine with the right balance of well-written features and columns. I've always been a magazine junkie in general.

I was a huge fan of Timothy Kask's short-lived Adventure Gaming magazine from around 1980. It was a broad-based gaming magazine covering a variety of stuff, but despite its diversity, most of it always seemed to appeal to me. When they wrote about games I didn't play, they made them interesting enough that I wanted to play. Can't seem to find anything like that.

I was no aware there were any others anymore.

I loved a lot of the old gaming mags: Different Worlds, Space Gamer, non-house organ White Dwarf, Interactive Fantasy.

Nowadays, the only one I'm reading (and occasionally contributing to) is Hero's PDF house organ, Digital Hero.

I liked the Knowledge Arcana online magazine...

Until I have DSL in my bathroom, there will always be a place for print magazines in my life.

That said, I don't read any gaming magazines as such. The magazines I do read - National Geographic, Africa Geographic, The Economist, and so on - often having gaming-applicable content, however.
