Probably not. I like to support the OSR booth and so we've lost money there a couple years in a row, but I am dead broke this summer (any rich hedge fund managing D&D players want to send a donation?) so I don't really have the capital to float. Part of the problem is because we deliberately sell cheap (we make about a buck per print issue) it is very hard to put product in stores and at cons. Cool stores like Games of Berkeley, Endgame, Vault of Midnight and others which have carried the mag have been to some degree subsidized by me in doing so, mostly as part of the mission of promoting old school gaming.
Next year if I have some coin I'll do it again, but part of the long saga of why we've essentially missed a year with the mag has to do with money troubles, and so we're just not in a position to do some of the promotional things we normally do.

I will say that both sets of OSR guys have been great and the mag has sold fairly well there, it's just that we have a per-unit loss rather than profit out of the gate, so it's hard to justify when you're broke.
