Hello to everyone.

Hope everyone is having a nice Spring so far.  Without the hayfever if possible.  For those wondering, the store is sort of behind schedule so I don't see it likely to open this month as planned.  But trust me, when it opens, it'll be rad.  I've been working on the parts of the website that are open to make it look hopefully more polished and accessible to all visitors.

• Two New Authors to SpGa:

I am happy to announce that Specialty Gamer actually has two new authors since the last Newsletter.  I'm always pleased when someone new is interested in contributing, but two people in such a short time?  I was surprised.

• Upcoming Game Magazine subscription deals:

Four video game and PC magazines will offered as the Deal of the Day from Best Deal Magazines this upcoming week. 

Each is the price per year.  I personally subscribe from them so I can vouch that they are for real.  They don't auto-renew at a regular rate or anything like that.  The banner link was taken down for now (no game magazines lately) but I'll put it back up by next week.

Here also are some coupon codes that I have:
