Looking forward to another year of fun game reviews.
Great articles as always!
Looks like another great issue!
keep up the great stuff.
Content always sounds great, but I particularly love the cover on this one!
I can't afford to back, but if I could, I'd want a tier with print offerd.
As always, another great issue!
Love the cover artwork. I've never been to a con, so the beginner's guide was a nice read.
Looks great.
Oooo, spoooky games!
Nice article about humor in games. Although, I think you may have been too nice to Cards Against Humanity. I understand its impact, but I'm not a fan - to the extent I think it has done more harm than good.
Always enjoy the content!
Love that there is a free game in every issue.
I'm so stoked. Gaming is the only thing that relaxes me. I work like a dog. Thanks for making these gaming choices educated choices.
Great articles and content throughout. Thanks for the hard work.
Could they bump the font point size up a bit and use more of the margins? I feel like either having to squint or getting a half empty bag. I notice the pictures bleed way out into the margins.
Great looking production!
Congrats on blowing away your kickstarter goal and another great issue!
