Big Iron Vault gaming magazine released

“It’s not just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle” is the motto of this unorthodox gaming magazine that deals not only with role-playing games but the people that play them.

Big Iron Vault #1

Our first issue’s cover is a wonderful watercolour painting by Rising Stars of Manga award winning artist Lanny Liu.

It is called the Dragon and the Knight, both are taking a break from fighting to read BIV #1. Please take a moment to check out Lanny’s work at www.lannyworld.com.

In this issue …

A complete new game by Keith Foo entitled Mysterious Circumstances. It is a new style of “Beer and Pretzels” RPG that is meant to take only three hours to complete. Simple, yet entertaining it will no doubt provide hours of “down time” fun. while taking a break from your usual campaign.

We were blessed to have Shelly Mazzanoble be part of our first issue. Renowned as the author of Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress she has been instrumental in encouraging the explosion of women gamers we see today.

In addition, we have ongoing columnists working on such topics as Living with a Gamer, Coming out of the gaming closet, The best store in the GTA and Keith Hackwood’s deep dive into the gamer’s psyche with Through the Mountains of Qaf and plenty more campaign material that can help you flush out your world.

Our tough but fair reviewer of old school games checks out Castles & Crusades in the column Kickin’ It Old School.
