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 there is 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 choose 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.
