GLAIVE: MEDIA KIT

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

New 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.

Some examples of what can be found in an issue of Glaive are:

• Featured stories tackling new movements in our hobbies and noteworthy events.
• Interviews with movers and shakers within our scene that are focused on new and fringe ideas.
• Advice for both players and game designers alike, looking at how some of our favorite games became what they are or lessons on how to overcome creative blocks.
• TTRPG content designed to be picked up and played, speeding up the time it takes to get around the table and game.
• Game reviews focused on underground titles, both old and new alike.
• Short stories by new authors meant to inspire.
• Reader submitted letters and art.
• And much more...

With its wide variety of content, Glaive offers an engaged and diverse readership, making it an ideal platform for advertisers aiming to reach dedicated gamers, creators, and hobbyists.
