Community building is again a big topic. We talk not only about things going on in Southern Arizona, like our special Ides events, but a way to get in touch with other gamers all the way to the Netherlands. Uncle Bear also invites us to check out the Dire Cafe.

YouTube has caught our attention. If your looking for some hot nerdy action, check out 1 900 Nerd Girl and Nerd Porn (language warning).

Polymancer talks about overpowered characters and how to deal with them. Polymancer magazine is a multi-genre magazine about roleplaying games (RPGs), miniature wargames, LARPs, and more. Articles are written so that they can be useful to gamers of all kinds, no matter which rules they prefer to use. This is done by making the articles “system-independent.” There is a complete adventure scenario in every issue. This is not an e-zine, but the real thing: an honest to goodness, printed magazine for gamers. Find out more at www.polymancerstudios.com.
