We wanted to know what sorts of games and topics interest older gamers for this issue of Cerise, and we received some interesting responses in the form of Gamer Stories and reviews. We’re also bringing you some articles focusing on game planning and preparation this month, as well as an interview with miniatures artist Victoria Lamb – and a Craft Check detailing a way to make miniatures that are way less impressive than the Victoria Miniatures line. And on the Back Page, you’ll find a link to the latest edition of the LOLGAMERS Contest!

As always, we’re looking for new contributors for future issues. Be sure and stop by our submissions page during your visit this month!
