Rumor has it RPGenerationX.com may start a trade rag.
hehe.. there seems to be a market!

BTW, anyone that was on the MC forums is more the welcome to
join there and chat.  

Here's a thought.  Use the "power" of the iNation and start
a real mag.  One could make a small mint.  Just don't fold
to advertisers and don't change your subject material to
some of the garbage that the two biggies did.  Look at
iSeries Experts Journal.  that's a great mag, with real
meat.  Not all marshmallow crap with "gurus" and
"evangalists" telling you "RPG is dead, use Java, now use
C#, woops.. here's comes the next thing.. forget all I said
and use this.. and use XML for everything.."

We need a mag with material from people that work in TRW.
Not people that write about "what's neat" and tell us to use
a particular solution when there's no problem.  We need
material that defines a problem, gives solutions and tells
why they work and when and where.
