Welp, I’ve only been here for a few months rather than
a whole year like some other bastards. But what can I
say about this magazine? I can say it’s a quadrupedal
reptile primarily located in sahara regions. That would
be a lie. A true thing I could say is that it’s given me more
reason to explore a game which honestly I don’t really

as garrison followers just as well as the living? Are we to
assume now that any dead person can just choose to hang
around with no limitations? That opens up many more
questions that can’t be answered, it makes no sense.
But I’m missing the point, like I always do. I don’t write
to inform people, informing people is boring. I’m here
because I like to entertain, to amuse, to regale. And to
that end I have to thank the magazine for giving me a
voice with which to do that thing that I just said. And I shall
end with vaguely appropriate nonsense. The reason I’m
bad at endings is because I don’t want to stop writing.

finding something rather irritating, amusing or just even
slightly interesting inside the game as is, i would think
“Hmm… I could make an article about that”. I’ve had some
awesome opportunities appear from this magazine, I’ve
been able to interview some awesome people and talk
about all my awesome nonsense all the while keeping
it in a professional manner. I’ve been able to express my
thoughts in a way that it could captivate an audience and
