I had never heard of this magazine and indeed this particular issue came out two years before I was born, however my excellent wife found me a pristine copy on eBay that included a full tactical space game complete with counters on the inside. It also came with a flyer for 1981 Gen Con. I will be posting pictures of these later on.
This is a pretty neat gaming magazine and one of the better ones I've ever seen. In addition to game reviews it also has reviews for fantasy pulp and sci-fi themed movies, books, and factual information for constructing your own fantasy and science fiction scenarios, some of which you can see pictured. Did any of you guys have this book? Let me know!
I got these cool 1920s/30s era cars at the flea market today. They are too big at 143rd scale, but they look pretty good next to heroic 28 mm, which are probably around 1:50 scale.
If you haven't yet, check out https://www.splendoroffire.xyz/ our new gaming mag.
Splendor of Fire is the online journal of the In Hoc Signo Society, a union of Christian wargamers and adventure gamers.
Splendor of Fire is a throwback to the Golden Age of the Internet, when everyone had their own websites and centralized platforms with their pay-for-play and algorithmic censorship were only a glimmer in the bright, dead, alien eyes of the technocrats. We are dedicated to the hobbies of miniature wargaming and tabletop RPGs, not shilling for big companies. We use miniatures from ‘unapproved’ manufacturers, make our own army lists, and play out of print games and ‘obsolete’ editions.
Here you will find hobby journals, tactical studies, battle reports, miniature and book reviews, essays on gaming philosophy, commentary on the passing scene, and whatever else our membership finds notable. We will also host periodic online wargaming campaigns and chronicle them here.
