Shadis

"Shadis" was an independent gaming magazine that published articles on role-playing games. Started by Jolly Blackburn, it began as an independent gaming fanzine in 1990, and was later transformed into a quality small-press magazine in 1993. Each issue contained a variety of articles covering many different aspects of role-playing game systems and genres. The magazine was a three time Origins Award winner, and is also notable for featuring the first appearance of the long-running RPG comic strip, "Knights of the Dinner Table". In late 1994, the magazine received its biggest success by making available random cards at a time in which booster packs of the card game were scarce, causing many players of the game to buy multiple issues of the magazine in hopes of getting a rare or out-of-print card. It "went on hiatus" in 1998, and effectively ceased publication.
