So over at the Knights and Knaves Alehouse, home of OSRIC

, they've come up with an idea of building a magazine. Now that Fight On! and some of the others are gone, they are looking to do something real old school in spirit and feel.
As Stuart Marshall put it:
Subject: Knights & Knaves Alehouse Magazine

I'm perfectly happy for K&KA to host a free magazine. It would need to support the site's objectives as set by Jerry Mapes: Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu, Boot Hill, BRP-based systems (including Runequest), the K&KA-specific retro-clones (being OSRIC and Swords & Wizardry), and certain miniatures-based or hex-and-chit wargames----a scenario for ASL or Panzerblitz per issue would honour Jerry nicely?
I feel like our town (with the caveat that we can also publish it if we want in the future as a whole product) would fit the bill. Always enjoyed the Judges Guild Magazines (Pegasus, etc) that they showed little bits of their world off one issue at a time. Now we're just doing a town, but who knows where it will lead.
The guy putting it together thought something from the PbP perspective might not be a bad idea either. I'd love to see us put together an article, or a running article, detailing "Old School Gaming the Play by Post Way! by the Unseen Servant team". But that's a topic for a different post which I'll put in General.
If we have some enthusiasm and willingness to do something like this, I'll merge the posts from whatever threads together, but as of right now I'm just gauging interest in doing something like this as a community. I think it'd be fun and interesting at the least.
Be well all, and let me know what you think!
