The Place for Games Brings Top Gaming Magazines to the UK

Thu, Apr 17, 2003, 12:00 PM

Gaming fans in the United Kingdom have a new source for the best gaming magazines. The Place for Games Ltd., managed by longtime industry luminary Carl Crook, is now managing subscriptions and customer service for the leading roleplaying magazines DRAGON® and DUNGEON/POLYHEDRON®, and for the brand new hobby game publication Undefeated®. Subscriptions also may be available in Europe soon.

All three magazines are produced by Paizo Publishing™, LLC. Thanks to an agreement between Paizo and The Place for Games, readers in the U.K. will save money on their subscriptions and receive their magazines faster than if they ordered directly from the United States.

"Carl has extensive experience in the industry," said Johnny Wilson, Publisher and President at Paizo. "He has participated for many years in organized play, running tournaments and conventions. He cares for the business. What's even more important to us is that he cares for the gaming community."

Crook will be at the Paizo Publishing booth at GenCon Europe, April 18-21 at the Olympia Convention Center in London. He will sell subscriptions to U.K. fans, and will also gather information from European fans who are interested in subscribing.

The UK Subscription rates will be:

   DRAGON£36 per year (12 issues)
   DUNGEON/POLYHEDRON£45 per year (12 issues)
   Undefeated£22.50 per year (6 issues)
   European rates for all magazines to be confirmed.

Players and Dungeon Masters can also order back issues from The Place for Games. "We have back issues from way back to DRAGON #239 and DUNGEON #60, and subscribers can order while stocks last," added Crook.
