We
are fast approaching the release of our 50th issue, 10 years now and I
still can't quite believe we've made it this far, however we bloody
well have and it feels brilliant. You may have noticed we have no info
or pricing for a subscription on our bigcartel online store. There is a
reason for that. About a year ago we decided to revamp the magazine,
new layout, new size, more pages, higher quality and with a new feel.
We agreed that issue 50 would be the perfect time to launch the all
new DicE. We also wanted to keep it under our hats for awhile. However
that didn't work out too well, we were so excited we told everyone,
we are crap at keeping secrets it turns out. Dean and I have been
waiting patiently (?!) for the printers to send us a sample copy. A:
because we were going mental just to see if all our work had been
worth it and B: to get some idea of postage costs. The new magazine is
a larger, thicker format and so therefore heavier. The mailing will be
a little more expensive but definitely well worth it. If your sub needs
renewing or you want to sign up for one you should be able to do that
very soon. Or before you do perhaps order a single issue when it
becomes available in 2 weeks time and see what you will be getting for
your hard earned cash. As soon as we have figured out prices we will
let you know. We are very very pleased indeed and extremely proud of
the results. It's not just issue 50, it's Volume 2 issue 1. A whole
new beginning. Every issue from now on will be a collaboration of some
sort with people and companies we all know and love along with guest
editors too. Issue 50 we have teamed up with Jamie from Repop MFG, 50
copies will be collectors limited editions which include some very
special one off items made by the man himself, more on that soon. The
regular copies all come with something rather special too. We also ran
a cover competition for our readers. The response and subsequent
artwork was amazing, we tied ourselves up in knots trying decide a
winner. In the end we added more pages and picked not one but eight
covers all printed alongside each other. Wait though, I'm giving far
too much away!
Watch this space!
Love
Matt and Dean.
