Glaive : Issue 01

Glaive is a quarterly magazine dedicated to gaming and the subcultures surrounding its various forms of expression.

A new full colour magazine dedicated to the ways of the good stuff. If you're reading this then you already know. Published by and for gaming fanatic groups worldwide, the editor (CJ) & team at Hothead Collective (NYC) writes; "this magazine is my attempt to try and bring some of these groups together into one physical place, curating a collection of subcultures that share common passions".

Covering indie video games, skirmish and tabletop roleplaying games, cult classics, Glaive celebrates games of all types. Gameable TTRPG content, interviews with creatives, advice, and opinion pieces catalog diverse voices and experiences alongside art and design steeped in the DIY sensibilities integral to our hobbies. Glaive curates an archive of current happenings in our communities, amplifying those making waves and capturing the fleeting moments shaped by today's independent tastemakers.

Starting off with an article on Dungeon Synth (penned by the venerable Kaptain Carbon), Cosmic Ocean is proud to stock Glaive Magazine.
