Scary clown on the cover means that this issue all about Terrifier. It’s really not my sort of thing, so unsurprisingly I didn’t help with the cover story.

My feature in this issue is called Beyond The Dream Park and talks about all the interactive theater you can find in the UK right. It focuses especially on Lemon Difficult’s Key of Dreams, which is more my speed for horror; I like the mix of the mundane, the mystic and the cosmic. Also, Beyond Dream Park was also the name of one of the first convention panels I ever moderated.

Brave New Words focuses on women writing modern science fiction, from speculative climate fiction to shooty bang explosions in space. Roll for Damage gives Wizkids some love, talks about the end of Fantasy Flight’s X-Wing game and cover’s Gale Force Nine’s Alien’s game, Another Glorious Day in the Corps. We also look at the Darrington Press edition of For The Queen and Bright Eye Game’s storytelling game, The Plot Thickens.
