		This month's featured zone is the Orc-infested region known as Black Crag. In the Age of Reckoning, the war between the Dwarfs and the Greenskins rages on many fronts, but few are as important as Black Crag. If, against all odds, the Dwarfs can claim a victory in this dangerous maze of winding canyons and jagged spires of rock, the road to the Greenskins’ fortress at Karak Eight Peaks will be open. Then, finally, the sons of Grungni will be able to strike back against their hated enemies and turn the tide of the war.

	"Personally, I like getting to brag about it. Since I was pretty young, I’ve had a fair number of friends who were HUGE Warhammer buffs. When I was in college, I had a roommate that was a hardcore player (his White Dwarf collection was my first real introduction to Warhammer) and my boss on campus had an office full of miniatures. The bragging rights that come from getting to work with such a high-profile property are a nice bonus."

	"I've been following online games for QUITE a long time now… I discovered the BBSes… Boy did I ever get hooked on playing Trade Wars and L.O.R.D. That was fun and all, but there was just something missing from them. When I was introduced to my first MUD though, I discovered what was missing: the Community. BBS games were technically multiplayer, but you never had more than one person playing at a time. In a MUD though, you were playing the game with people from all over the world… I fell in love instantly…"
