"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Different Worlds #1 - Chaosium
I have tried to get copies of most major RPG magazines through the years. Other than the 800 lb gorilla (now online only) this may have been the best of them and at time I might sat better. The only other possible contender would have been White Dwarf. This is issue #1 and it grew quite a bit over the years. I have most of the issues of Different Wolds and someday plan to make a point of completing the run. It was nice in that it featured an alternative voice and a delivery system for articles on other game systems as well as Chaosium's. If you get a chance to pick up a copy do so. Maybe one of the theme issues which were always nice or one of my personal favorites were the issues with write ups the X-Men or the Teen Titans.
