Also I was getting Dragon more regularly and my gaming dollar did not stretch that far.<br />And, this may be the big one, I was in High School at this point and had other things going on.<br /><br />It was not till much later (well into college) that picked up all of these again.

I am just curious about that, because it seems WD post-45 still catered mostly to the games you like with little to foreshadow more (frequent) Warhammer coverage to come, judged by how little attention it got from WD in the first half of the 80's. <br />Originalhammerrpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341697506270002166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-50800174148027103182013-01-30T13:48:55.728-06:002013-01-30T13:48:55.728-06:00Originalhammerrpg, I said I might be a little maud...Originalhammerrpg, I said I might be a little maudlin. ;) <br /><br />It is the beginning of MY end with White Dwarf. I was not interested in Warhammer, so I stopped getting White Dwarf. <br /><br />Hope that makes sense.Timothy S.

That's quite harsh, during the first 2 editions of Warhammer, the game got surprisingly little coverage in WD compared to other games. Not every issue had a Warhammer article (by far). WD support for the first two editions of the game is very sparse even if you count the ads(1983-1986) so any beginning of any end (from an RPGer's POV) would be near the end of that period (release of WFB 3d ed. and/or Brian Ansell's editorship).Originalhammerrpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341697506270002166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-30857651246080679502012-12-26T13:48:27.896-06:002012-12-26T13:48:27.896-06:00Yep, Pavis was a good bit of Runequest setting... ...Yep, Pavis was a good bit of Runequest setting... a city on the edge of The Big Rubble, a huge ruined city. Maybe the first boxed sets for RQ?<br />Recently in our Earthdawn campaign we visited Haven and the ruins of Parlainth beyond, which certainly must be an 'homage' to that earlier pair of burgs.
