RPGNow Review of Knockspell #5 (5 stars)



This short 5-star review was posted by featured reviewer Stuart Robertson at RPGNow for Knockspell Magazine Issue #5:

The Review:
This is a really fun periodical and I look forward to new issues being available. It reminds me of the D&D magazine I used to read back in the 80s and is filled with the same kind of material. Interesting articles, new monsters and spells, and a couple of neat adventures. I highly recommend spending the $5 for this PDF especially if you have an iPad or other E-book reader you can transfer your PDF to. Sitting with a cup of coffee and reading an old school gaming magazine is great.

  3. I should add that I'm trying to revise the lulu interior pages, because the credit section (artists and cartographers) got dropped when I did the layout. Unfortunately, Acrobat is making one error, and cutepdfwriter is making a different error, so thus far I haven't been able to create a replacement pdf.

    Technology can be intensely frustrating. :(
