RESTO! I. ORGANIZATIONS RSGaron Sone So here we are again! Hopefully this issue willreach you with the mini- mum of problems, something we cannot claim for issue ten. Forthis we offer our apologies and ask you to bear with us. Isue ten was actually Finished atthe beginning of February. However, ue to some serious and lengthy ongoing problems it didn't tum up until much ater than planned. Hopefully, tis was simply teething problems with new way of doing things, and it should all be smooth sailing from hereon in. IF on the other hand this drops through your letterbox inthe new millen- nium, well 1 guess it happened agin The editorial is usually the last article we write and Talwaysend up wondering what Lam gong to write about, Why then do I bother? The simple answers that ike reading them in oer magazines. The theory tus follows, if like it somebody else mus doo. Flawed logic? Maybe, but then I'm the editor... (Evil megalomanise laugh!) Ob! And it scored quit highly inthe reader’ oll ‘But [can't fil eh editorial simply by talking about the editorial My eyes alight po an old chestnut: the state ofthe gaming industry Yes! That old chestnut, We all know thatthe RPG industry is abit of. diseased dog, bits falling of from time to time, occasionally getting up he energy to run fora thrown sick, Since inception, Warpstone hasn't had 10 many dealings with the industry. However, we have wanted as many people as possible to read i. Thus we have afew war stories to el. Il give you the facts and let you draw your own conclusions. T'llstart atthe top ofthe food chain, and work down. The distribu- ors are those who take products from the games companies and pass them on tothe shops. As a whole, they have a very bad reputation Knowing the shops in London already sold dazens of copies we sent hem a sample. Allaround the world they went, and we waited. Only wo distributors had the politeness to drop us line. They sai, “no- thanks atthe moment”, but hey at least they replied. We decided to follow up the UK distributors with phonecal asking what they thought We werent too surprised when these weren't returned, [Nex step was to contact the UK shops directly. We sent them a sample and an order form, telling them if they couldn't sell them we would take them back. A ‘no-lose' situation, we thought.) Somewhat pleased we received orders from several shops. Since then one shop has paid, plus another only paid because they wanted more andthe rest nave not responded to two follow up eters, We didn’t start Warpstone to make money (we were under llusions about that!) butit's nice not to lse too much, Maybe it was because we couldn't tlk to them face- face, We have no complaints with the shops in London, and they are io thank in many ways or keeping Warpstone going. One comfort was ixoveing that olher magzzines and small games companies were nthe ‘Ofeourse then here was the magazine who decided o reprint our aticles without permission. We won'tname them, buta couple of years ago we sent them a collection of issues on their request inthe hope that we could perhaps trade articles, Needless o say we didn’t reevive any copies in eply ~ oF, indeed, answer to e-mails asking if they had re- ceived ours. Then afew months ago {received a request from one of their readers asking for clarification of points ou article. Soitseems they translated and printed two of our articles. What makes this par- ticular galling is that we would have been happy to let them do this with any ofthe material we hd rights, in return frail credit and a copy ofthe issue to review and circulate. Needless to say the fllow- up emsils also disappeared int the ether. Ws been along, long haul Itmay sound lke a bitter old story, but it has @ happy ending, We ae very pleased with the Hogshead deal, Warpstone has always tried to deal with everyone fairy, honesty and politely. All we hope fr is tha the same courtesy is shown tous, "Now, to end, where would the editorial be without a request for ewers? We ike these. However, the delay of issue 10 means we have none this time around, Please set this to rights: by the time issue 12 comes ou, we should be inundated with all the post that two whole issues have provoked you into writing! ‘And as always, we hope you enjoy the issue.

Additionally, some notes are given suggesting ways to incorporate each adventure into the Enemy Within campaign. ‘These notes ae all fairly comprehensive, though inthe case ofthe Enemy Within notes, any GM would already be able to fit the adventures into the campaign with ite effort. ‘The White Dwarf adventures are all petty standard fre: one- nighters with few loose ends or heavy consequences, Nevertheless they are all funto play, A Rough Night at the Three Feathers’ being the most ‘enjoyable and well thought-out. The way they are strung together though seems tobe abit haphazard, andthe plotline will need tobe fortified by the GM in some places. ‘The collection’s exclusive scenario, “The Hunting Horrors the ‘weakest adventure ofthe campaign It's just a dungeon romp in ‘mysterious gothic house, and the sequence of “enter a room, illa ‘monster, search the room” becomes monotonous.
