History and profile

Tim Kask departed from TSR after finishing his run with The Dragon #36 (April 1980) to work on a magazine of his own, Adventure Gaming (1980–1982); according to Shannon Appelcline, "His new venture was more generalist than The Dragon, but otherwise looked a lot like Kask's first magazine with an emphasis on (generic) FRPs, Traveller, and wargaming.[3]Шаблон:Rp

Adventure Gaming was launched in 1981.[2] The founding and continuing editor of Adventure Gaming was Tim Kask, long of TSR and founding editor of The Dragon. Adventure Gaming was based in Norwood, Ohio.[1]

Adventure Gaming took an editorial stance squarely in the middle between the booming FRP (fantasy role-playing) segment of the industry, and the traditional board and miniatures gaming segments.[4][5][6] The magazine closed in 1982 with total 13 issues.[2]

Reception

W. G. Armintrout reviewed Adventure Gaming in The Space Gamer No. 45.[7] Armintrout commented that "As of now, Adventure Gaming is a colorless publication that hasn't gotten itself off the ground. The only reason for subscribing would be if you have a personal motive for helping an all-hobby magazine survey. I don't recommend it."[7]
