Any errors or omissions are unintentional.  \nEDITORIAL  \nThere comes a time, probably around midlife, when you realise that if you've been engaging in the same hobby since your very early 'teens, started clubs during your university years and beyond, that you're probably not going to give upon the hobby anytime soon. Further, if you fancy yourself a bit of a writer, a publisher and a collector of friends who are also competent in these areas, you may very well end up starting an online RPG magazine.  \nSo welcome to the first edition of RPG Review, a gaming 'zine which is both a fan publication in one sense (that is, the production and commercial sense), but takes itself sufficiently seriously in others, looking at predecessors such as Different Worlds and Interactive Fantasy; and perhaps even more so Alarums & Excursions.  \nA common theme within the magazine is a sense of balance. There is a balance between contemporary games and those of the past and each issue will feature a retrospective; in this issue it's DragonQuest. There is a balance between 'indie games' and mainstream publications. Between critical pieces and practical pieces; and between tabletop gaming and other related activity, such a computer games and inspirational films.  \n2 RPG REVIEW ISSUE ONE September 2008  \nI have many people to thank for this first issue, but most of all I wish to thank Erica Hoehn for her work in proofreading and Victoria Jankowski for her advice on art and layout. I am overjoyed, of course, with the quality of the contributions.
