GamesMaster International, or GMI, was a roleplaying game magazine in the UK published by Newsfield Publications starting in July 1990. The magazine featured the same editorial team (Tim Metcalfe, Paul Boughton and Wayne ?)of G.M. The Independent Fantasy Roleplaying Magazine. The team approached Newsfield in 1990 to take over the publication after Croftward Publishing ceased trading.
With the knowledge of its former circulation and advertisement income history, Newsfield decided to launch GAMES MASTER INTERNATIONAL on a low-budget and the first issue hit the news stand in July 1990. Unfortunately the gaming market was in deep recession and both circulation and advertisement income targets were never achieved and the magazine ceased trading after 15 issues in October 1991 when Newsfield went into liquidation.
Famous quotes containing the words games and/or master:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”
—Hugh Latimer (1485–1555)
