Shadis
''Shadis'' was an independent gaming magazine that published articles on role-playing games. Started by Jolly Blackburn,〔 it began as an independent gaming fanzine in 1990, and was later transformed into a quality small-press magazine in 1993. Published by Alderac Entertainment Group, each issue contained a variety of articles covering many different aspects of role-playing game systems and genres. The series included game reviews, adventures, fiction, maps, gaming advice, and cartoons.〔
The magazine was a three-time Origins Award winner, and is also notable for featuring the first appearance of the long-running RPG comic strip, ''Knights of the Dinner Table''.〔 This strip was initially intended to fill a blank spot in the magazine, but later took on a life of its own.〔 In late 1994, the magazine received its biggest success by making available random Magic: The Gathering cards at a time when booster packs of the card game were scarce, causing many players of the game to buy multiple issues of the magazine in hopes of getting a rare or out-of-print card.
''Shadis'' "went on hiatus" in 1998, and effectively ceased publication.〔 In a 2000 interview at the ''Gaming Outpost'' web site, John Zinser, the owner of Alderac Entertainment Group, said that he wanted the in debt company to grow at a faster pace than Jolly Blackburn was comfortable with. Hence, a split was agreed upon, with Jolly Blackburn leaving with the rights to ''Knights of the Dinner Table'' and a few other properties.〔 In drawing lessons from this magazine, Wolfgang Baur, the editor-in-chief of ''Kobold Quarterly'', thought it was a mistake for ''Shadis'' to rely too heavily on content that was not focused on fantasy in general and Dungeons & Dragons in particular.〔
