The Escapist is an attractive magazine that covers gaming, both the digital sort that’s so popular with the kids today and the more analog variety that keeps older gamers like me playing tabletop and roleplaying games. It’s beautifully rendered, and the articles are, for the most part, thoughtfully written and thought-provoking.
It’s unusual to see the topic of gaming contained in such a beautiful package. Even the best gaming publications I’ve read lack the crisp layout and artistic vistas present in The Escapist. It’s a treat to read something in which good words are artfully combined with good design, especially when it covers a topic so dear to me.
