Musings:

There are lots of articles that are re-prints from the UK Players Association Newsletter in the issue, as is with other early Polys.

Also, the Jim Ward interview was a great read. Detailing his first days of gaming and meeting Gygax, into his first days at TSR and some of the products he authored.
