What exactly is this?
Some online PDF magazine thing that costs money or some sort of podcast (that also seems as if it costs money)?

No its an online .pdf magazine that is free. It's done in Microsoft Word (the creator even admits it in the first issue).

It's ok but I can see why it's free. it's in no way something I would pay for.

Done in Microsoft Word?!? I won't hear of it! It's a proffesional piece of journalistic genius!!!

Nah - it's Microsoft Word. Like you say, it's free so I made it as simple as possible to publish so that I can get issues out with minimum fuss. This way I can keep Farsight Games' profile up while I work on the first releases.

The Emag mostly contains old articles of mine, just to fill it out, but it's mainly for writers whose articles have never been published, been published a long time ago or are just sitting on a hard drive somewhere gathering digital dust. Kind of where old RPG articles go to live out their days.

And thanks for the promo on this forum, Game Guy, it's appreciated!

As for the promo, not a problem.

Sorry if my assessment came across rough. Rereading the post I found that it could have been written a little bit better.

I put it in this forum, of course because of the Bill Coffin/Septimus factor. I am hoping that one day Bill will come over here and visit us.

No worries, man, none at all. I've been in the writing game for a number of years and had all kinds of rough unforgiving criticism, so believe me when I say that your assessment is the best review I've ever had!

Besides, you're not wrong in any respect - it's free, hence it's simple. I wouldn't pay for it, either! ;)
