I used to get it on a monthly basis when I was younger and disposed of my paper copies some time ago. However waiting that bit longer until the versions on CD comes if out (which is happening on an ongoing basis is now more cost effective and saves on space.

Slingshot

Bimonthly journal of the Society Of Ancients and running since September 1965 this is in my view the premier scenario design research resource. It you join the society in addition to getting 6 issues of it a year you are able to purchase the first 273 issues on DVD for £20.00 an absolute bargain if ever there was one. Here is the link to the Society Of Ancients website.

Then its up to those of us we work on scenario design for the game to do something about it and write some articles ! |
