These are "sister" magazines, with overlapping issue numbers
Various issues #1-12: 14 magazines total
A magazine with lots of reviews and inside industry info.
The VIP of Gaming (1985-1986)
Issues #1-5
A nice magazine. It's cool to read about what was "new" back then.
Pyramid (1993-1998)

This is the entire print run. The magazine went all-digital with issue #31.
An excellent magazine put out by Steve Jackson Games. Covered non-SJG games too.

"The Independent Games Magazine"
Published by the Alderac Entertainment Group, Shadis tried to become what Dragon magazine used to be; a general-purpose RPGing magazine. Lots of good stuff in here.

)Re: Neutrality's Behest
Greg, et al.,
Sorry for the confusion. The game is a "Beginner" level FCSGL game. That means character levels 2 through 7, but if you are creating a new character. level 5 is recommended. You can create one 2 - 4 if you want, but not above 5.
This link will take you to a general description of the game's team levels.

This link will take you to a page for beginners to familiarize you with some of the game rules.

For the most part, we run standard Edition 3.5. You can use any core book and any supplements (it will say "supplement" on the book). We allow some things in from the alternate world settings, but its best to stay away from those when you are just starting out.
If you run into any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. (fcs@firstduty.com)
