No Quarter 33

The PDF version of No Quarter magazine has some issues which makes me not recommend bothering with the PDF version. The most obvious reason is that the price is identical to the cover price for the PRINT magazine - that's pretty ridiculous considering there's an obvious difference between a print and electronic product in terms of production cost and end-user usability. In addition, while the PDF views fine on my computer, it does not render well at all on my iPad. The colors are oversaturated and off which makes me wonder if the PDF is set for CMYK. This is one of the few PDFs I've had problems with on the iPad and the only one I've ever seen with this type of graphics issue. The result is that the magazine is not convenient nor comfortable to read, detracting even further from its value.

What I'd like to see? A reasonably priced PDF version of a magazine which is largely a marketing tool for Privateer Press - A high number of pages are dedicated to "previews" and actual ads for PP products and it seems ridiculous that they're charging so much for a version of a print product which has very little overhead cost and which is several months out of date (you can't buy the current issues electronically).

Your reaction to 'No Quarter' is solely dependent on why you think it could be useful. If you are a miniatures player foremost, you'll find the standard array of new miniatures releases, new rules, scenarios and discussion on tactics and army composition to be informative and useful.

Whilst there is a decent amount of tacit information that you glean and extrapolate if you play the 'Iron Kingdoms' RPG, the role-playing line is under supported in the magazine. Whilst you can rely on one article per month, the quality of said article varies wildly. If you are purchasing this to fill the complete void of current product support for the RPG, then be very choosy about which issue you pick up.

If you play both sides of the coin, you'll find something useful every month.
