Challenge Mag and GDW

Interesting News:

Just received Challenge 48 in the mail from GDW.  In the "From the Management"
section it states: "We're going monthly starting in July."

This is good news, because now they are going go head to head with Dragon
and White Dwarf.  I always found Challenge to be a decent mag.  While it
does cover many other games other than MegaT, I do think their other
material is quite interesting.  It will be nice to get a science fiction
gaming mag once a month.  My roommate gets Dragon, but that doesn't cut the
cake for a science-fiction gamer (even though they said in their last
editorial they were also expanding to include sf.  I doubt that will
last).

Bad news, because I just sent in a subscription which I thought would last
a year.  Even though the subscription was paid by using gift certificates
it looks like I will have to renew in August.  They also mistakenly sent me
47 on my subscription, which I told them I already have.  Oh well, I'll
just give it to one of my players.

Speaking of which, I have to say that their mail-order is quite efficient.
I sent them my order (60 dollars of 65 dollar total was paid using gift
certificates) less than 2 weeks ago.  I was quite surprised to see it so
fast.
