We kick off as usual with a message from the editor and get a sneak peek at this issue’s highlights before we join him for the latest update on his hobby challenges as he works through the grey horde!

Step into one of the most bizarre conflicts in history with this unique wargame scenario set in the Australian outback of the 1930s in Emu War!

If you missed out over the summer, we have two show reports to bring you.

We have a few very intersting articles for our role players out there. First is Blixen, a cunning goblin NPC ready to add intrigue to your next D&D session; next is a look a five apocalyptic scenarios to add a bit of end-of-the-world flavour to your upcoming games and campaigns; further we have ideas for five differenet D&D locations that could occur in your urban adventures; and finally we have a review of the latest accesories from Loke – not the battlemaps and tokens we’re used to perhaps, but greetings cards, a calendar and even dungeon-themed wrapping paper!

If you prefer you gaming with a taste of madness, we also have a review of Arkham, a setting book for Call of Cthulhu which allows players to explore the secrets of Arkham in this must-have setting for Call of Cthulhu players.

And finally, but no means the least of our content, we have our ever-populat book reviews, looking at Pirates of History, the Union Army of the American Civil War, the Battle of Crecy, as well as three more titles that have a view to enabling and advising would-be wargamers wanting to take up solo wargaming; or in the particular ages of 1066 and the Norman Conquest, or starting to wargame in the Napoleonic period.

Whether you’re into historical wargames, roleplaying games, or just love great fiction, this issue has something for everyone.
