White Dwarf as a monthly may be done. There is word all over the place that GW’s monthly flagship may be over.

Faeit, Dakka, and others have been saying things like this:

There will be an announcement this Saturday. The monthly White Dwarf magazine is history. There will be a small weekly white dwarf magazine and a new monthly magazine, called “warhammer: visions”, 230 pages strong(!!!). This will start in February.

Also there is a meeting in February for every European “black shirt” in England. Maybe for the new GW website, including FW.

As a heads up, you’re going to be getting emails about “weekly white dwarf mini magazines.”
It’s called White Dwarf Visions and it’s true.
They will focus on talking about the hobby and community more so than being a sales magazine.

It has been interesting to see the eras of White Dwarf over the years. What started out as a independent multi system gaming mag, more akin to Dragon Magazine in the early days, then became a GW magazine, and supported the hobby with new rules, products and hobby content for a time, before slipping into a long spiral of ever more overt advertisement and less real content.

The first (above) and the last:

Have at it. If true, is this a time for sadness, celebration, or meh…
