I found this magazine to be generally ok, not great, not terrible. The articles did offer some interesting insights but it felt too scattered to be truly useful. Nothing I could really use in my games, at best it was vague inspiration, the same as I might get from a good TV show or novel. I did enjoy it though.

James Desborough's style alone makes a product worth reading, so I don't regret having bought this issue. However, be aware that it's primarily a series of essays on sex, romance, sexual deviation (for lack of a better term), and the difference between the genders--as they pertain to gaming. They're interesting topics if you like the theory behind the game, but perhaps not so useful if you're looking for crunch.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: I enjoyed Desborough's summation of the psychological difference between males and females.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I would have liked more in the way of story seeds. The concepts were interesting, but I'm not sure the magazine offered anything to alter my style of play.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

A very well written collection of articals on a subject that often gets glossed over or outright ignored. An interesting perspective on our hobby.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Well written, to the point, punches are not being pulled.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Where is issue 2?<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

This is a very direct e-zine. The discussions regarding roleplaying and sex are frank and potentially offensive for sensitive readers. If talks about this subject are taboo for you and/or your gaming group, then pass on this one. If you want advice on do's and don't for your gaming group, transgender roleplaying tips, or just a thought provoking read, you'll it here.

I liked it.

It was written and organized by an established author of Mongoose Publishing (they are not affiliated with it, however).

Future issues are coming on an irregular schedule with a totally new topic.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I have very little to say about this product - good or bad. Alot of the topics included were pretty tame (not that I was expecting porn), but nothing really jumped out at me as clearly unforgetable.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
