If you are running anything witchcraft related in Lovecraft Country you need this magazine. Although its a magazine, its more of a supplement.
Bret has assembled an all-star cast of writers who have created a great collection of articles ranging from the Salem witch trials to a complete bibliography of published witch-related Call of Cthulhu scenarios. The content of issue #3 of The Gazette is a vast improvement over #1 and #2, and they were quite good.
The single topic aspect of the Gazette feels different, and makes any reading or browsing a concentrated experience. The articles complement each other and expand what we know about Mythos witches.
The Gazette's graphic design is good and very legible, and deliberately reminiscent of Chaosium's CoC books of the mid/late 1980s. Which is no bad thing in this reviewer's opinion.
All in all, the Arkham Gazette is a necessary purchase for Lovecraft Country keepers and interested readers.
