In this magazine review, we are having a look at the 6th issue of Bexim's Bazaar, labelled "the Gaming Crafter's Magazine" it can be found on DriveThru RPG.
Published back in june 2019, this magazine focusses on creating adventures and ideas for your roleplaying games, and check out Realmsmith on YouTube for more content.
It starts with the editorial, which looks back on the first half year of the magazine since it's creation. It's writer, the TabletopEngineer on YouTube, also creates some awesome content for Frostgrave and such there, and is one of the channels I follow with great intrest. It has a section enxt of letters to the editor, as well as what sort of submissions they are looking for to include in the game.
In Gorwder's tent, some new cards for universal use are presented for easy print and use in games, while Treana's Tent offers a table of fun items for your adventurers to roll on, containing for example a scribbled notebook with gibberish. Some more in character adds and store advertisements are then included for those "getting the feel" moments of the magazine.
In Show us your craft, people are sharing pictures of their work in progress projects to up their roleplaying tables. Kev's lounge presents you with some paper miniatures for those not skilled in building and painting actual models, and they look good I must say. Next is a tutorial on how to build block walls yourself using XPS foam.
Next is something I really like, the Legend of the Grimoire Principalia is a 10 part solo campaign for Frostgrave, and this issue contains the fourth instalment in the series, The Forgotten. It takes place on a cemetery, and digging up stuff is the thing to do. Though not everyone is happy with your efforts, least those trying to sleep under the soil...
We then get some more hobby related articles, like how to order paints on your desk in the Garret's Table of Tinkering article. Nothing new for veteran wargamers, but handy for those just dabbling into the hobby.
The Arcane Vault is a mini-adventure, a quick quest for that little bit of time you might have in between, and A Swift Survey is another short stand-alone scenario in which you ascend up a tower. More fun stand alone games come in the Chase game of urchins chasing their quarry like a thief that stole their toy rock.
Next we have a review of the paper terrain by Fat Dragon, the second part of the The Docks set, and with all the templates included so you can build it yourself out of the magazine. Great addition if you ask me for sure.
The Gnoblogg wandering monster is included as a freebie as a new addition to your games, before we turn to a short story of the Magical Menagerie. A review of the skirmish wargame Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse is next up, as well as an article on how to attract new players for your games.
And those are the contents of this mighty 100 page magazine, definitly worth checking out!
