I don't suppose you could be more specific?

Which games are your primary focus?

I had a quick glance through and saw some 1e stuff. It looked like a good read and I'll get back to it when things aren't so busy at home.

We don't have a specific focus on any one game. To us, "old school" isn't about any one system or game, but a mindset, and we try to foster that mindset with an eye toward actual play. (How's that for a wishy-washy answer? )

The first issue of CM covers some 1e material, classic Traveller, etc. Our board and mag's focus is on games ranging up through the '80s: various flavors of D&D (my favorite is B/X, other members enjoy AD&D more or the recent retro-clones), Traveller, Marvel Superheroes, RQ, etc.

We also have several members developing and testing retro-inspired (not really cloned) games.

Thanks for taking a look at CM! We're always open to submissions, too.

Sounds interesting. I was just curious as to whether an annoucement for the magazine belonged here or not, but I'll be sure to check it out.
