The first hundred issues of White Dwarf (and some of the specials) are now available on t'internet as an archive.

White Dwarf Archive

(These were the days when WD wasn't an in-house advert for expensive miniatures, but a wide-ranging gaming magazine that covered games by a number of manufacturers. Somewhere I've got my old copies in a box - which started with number 71.)

And there I am in issue 65, in my only ever paid freelance writing gig.

Excellent! (I've actually got a hardcopy of 65 somewhere, picked up at about the same time as I started my subscription. Ah, memories of the Travellers and Thrud, too ... and the days when it reviewed books and games ...)

Ooh, splendid - thanks for this. I think the last issue I bought was 94, which was about when it competed its mutation into a house magazine that only covered Games Workshop's own products.
For some reason, FreakSoc had a copy of issue 1, which eventually ended up in the sideboard at Minas Tirith.

FreakSoc had quite a few odd antiquities. I wonder what happened to that odd carved statue with the tentacle design? [grin]

I stopped my subscription fairly low in the hundreds - at the time I played WFRP and some WH40K, but when they started redoing 40K to require their models, we wandered away.
