Reviews
In the February 1976 edition of The Strategic Review, Gary Gygax lamented the poor print quality of the inaugural issue, saying it "was barely legible in spots." Gygax was rather impressed by the variety of articles, which ranged from "'Sex in D & D', new character types, a long article on spices and magic, and some other interesting items." Based on the first issue, Gygax thought the zine "seems to show potential", and on a scale of "Major Tragedy" to "Major Triumph", he rated it a Minor Triumph.
