Save For Half Sideshow 7 1/2: Game Mags with Tim Kask, pt 1

Back in the day, gaming magazines were the lifeblood of the role-playing hobby. News, plugs, variant rules; it was all in the pages of the magazines at your local friendly game store!

Tim Kask joins us for a discussion of his time and work on gaming magazines like The Strategic Review, The Dragon, Advneture Gaming mag, and Gygax magazine! Part 1 of 2.

No cats were harmed in the making of this episode, no matter what you hear.

Argh. My ONLY criticism is that you seem to ALWAYS announce your shows hours before they are available on my iTunes feed. This has caused some temporary annoyance in the past. Okay, I see it's now available, but still. We save up our dishes for this. It matters...

LOL... You can always go to the main site saveforhalf.com and get it there?

When I was a kid I was really into Dark Shadows. I lived in Boston and watched it on a Boston area UHF station with good reception. However, I soon learned that a New Hampshire UHF station also broadcast the show, but one day ahead! So, being the fan that I was, with no self-control, I ended up watching the show every day in an extremely grainy and distorted form. There's a lesson in that, I think. Though I'm not sure what it is.

I was the same way with Blakes7 in the 1980s. I had one of those TV-radio combos about the size of a boom box and I used to tinfoil the antenna samelessly to pick up the PBS station in Shreveport LA to get the "latest" episodes as they were ahead of the Dallas PBS.
