I subcribed to this magaazine and use to pick it up at my local B&N but they no longer stock it. I don't like to read online so it no longer is feasable for me, but love all the content when I had it.

Noctiluca looks like it could be interesting. Not as much into the spooky/Halloween tie-ins, but I get why they tend to get featured this time of year.

I love games being both a parent and a nurse I use games for kids as well as the elderly. The best thing about them is bringing people together and keeping the brain active ALL WHILE HAVING FUN! THESE SOUND LIKE THEY WOULD BE A WELCOME ADDITION AS WOULD ALL GAMES! THANK YOU!!!
