With the assistance of people I wanted to be sure and remind everyone that, while we such as Edi Birsan and Craig Reges, I have been are now announcing themes for upcoming issues far in building an on-line archive of postal Diplomacy zines (in advance, those themes IN NO WAY mean we only Adobe pdf format). The idea is to archive and preserve want to publish articles that match those topics. The the history of the postal hobby (which is where the email themes are meant to take up only a portion of each and internet Diplomacy hobbies grew from initially) in a issue. The rest of the pages need to be filled by non- manner which will eliminate the dangers of a flood or fire theme articles of any description: strategy and tactics, or trash pickup depriving us from access to the games, variants, humor, puzzles, history (both hobby and real- creativity, and personality which flourished for so many world), convention reports, demo games, personal years. The project itself actually started for me when experiences, and anything else you can think of. So William Christian announced he had two boxes of old please don’t ever feel an article you are considering is Diplomacy zines which were to be thrown away if inappropriate for a particular issue. Just write it and somebody didn’t want them. I paid to have them send it in. If it really doesn’t fit for some unknown shipped from Canada to Texas, and the contents really reason, we’ll simply hold it until the following issue! renewed my interest in the history of the hobby. I found classic zines galore, starting with John Boardman’s I’ll close by reminding you the next deadline for Graustark #1, (the very first Diplomacy zine ever). Now Diplomacy World submissions is January 1st, 2009. I’ve got boxes more from nearly every era, courtesy of Remember, besides articles (which are always prized the work Edi Birsan is doing going through Tim Haffey’s and appreciated), we LOVE to get letters, feedback, archive material.

  • Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression
    THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J. Limbert A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Travis Limbert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor When Magic: the Gathering was released in 1993, it was the first trading card game. It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community.
