I've just been reading one of those pseudo-psychological newspaper articles. It suggests that you can tell a person's character/personality by the magazines they subscribe to. (OO! DEEP!)
Okay, I'll go first...

Private Eye.
When Saturday Comes.
Montana Magazine.
Battlefield Dispatch.(Newsletter of the Custer Battlefield Historical & Museum Assosciation).

Could this possibly suggest that my interests include humour, football and Montana?

Gee, sad comes to mind. That's akin to buying Wargaming Weekly.

Mind you, when I was mad on roleplaying games, I used to buy Dragon magazine.

I hope not, Roger.

I've never subscribed to a magazine in my life. Ergo, I have no life.  :(
I apologise, in advance.

Let me guess - you wanted to live in a land called Honalee, and be called Puff?

It suggests that you can tell a person's character/personality by the magazines they subscribe to.

Subscription to mag's = ZERO
Mag's bought daily/weekly/monthly = ZERO
mag's read = ZERO

 :-\ :-\ :-\ I am without character  or personality it would appear!



(No shock there then  ;))

I buy one magazine a week: Now! It's for my teenage granddaughters and I flick through it first to make sure there's nothing too horrid in it.

What does this say about my 'character and personality'?

EXACTLY!
Well, apart from it being nothing to do with "wargaming".
And it's a historical publication.
And it's edited by archaeologists.
And its proceeds go to maintaining a national monument.
But, apart from that, it's akin.

Sadly, no, Vulch. I was talking about the Custer Battlefield monument. I am, however, regarded in my household as somewhat static and ornamental.

Peepmaster suffers from static as well.

Now, if I was going to subscribe to a battlefield magazine, it would probably be the Battle of Issus or the Battle of Leuctra.
