Flipping through the Halloween issue #48 of White Wolf, circa 1994, I come away with a few things.
- It was chock-full of edgy, pretentious BS back in the day. It's pretty tame compared to the wackiness at the ends of the spectrum we're dealing with today. That is neither a compliment towards their writing, nor of the current situation.
- $3.95 for a magazine was an acceptable price for a guy who just had gotten a job for minimum wage ($5/hr) at New Frontiers in the Phillipsburg Mall selling Magic cards.
- Ken Carpenter was one of the only reasons I read this magazine at that point. A Fantasy scenario and a review for Legions of Steel? Totally Sweet.
- A note that issue #45 had an editorial about the movement to remove lead from minis. Oh the barbarity!
- The current reviews I post from time to time or little better than the schlock review for TWERPS Space Cadets 2nd Edition in the capsule reviews.
- The #3 best selling gaming product for that August was Jyhad Booster Packs. The only two products in the top 20 that weren't Wizards, TSR, Palladium, White Wolf or FASA? R. Talsorian's Castle Falkenstein. I may post that list later.
- It was the glorious early days of Reaper Miniatures as they had commissioned Terry Williams to sculpt some of the original Mouslings (and the long forgotten Verminites).
