Hah, I had actually edited it down somewhat. I wanted to include something about building my own PBM game, but that's going to be slow in coming. (Probably better to just do first and then announce it, rather than announce it and then do it.)
Issue 1 is excellent, though rather different from Issue 2. It's smaller and has much less in the way of ads (understandable). Bob must have gone to magazine publishing school or something because the professional look and feel of subsequent issues really takes off. But I love Issue 1 for the articles -- a long review of Empyrean Challenge, several pieces on Feudal Lords, including info on how it was developed, etc.
Since starting this thread I haven't had a chance to sign up for a PBM game yet. Maybe after this weekend's camping trip. I'm thinking Hyborian Wars to see what Grim does when he's not here. I also need to dust off a couple of other free positions in ongoing games. Perhaps Sunday.
