After reading the latest edition a week or so ago, I soon realised that The Crypt was very possibly on it's way out of the diskmag scene, and that was confirmed as fact last night (Sunday the 3rd of October) after a telephone call from it's head honcho The Dungeon Master, or Ray Hawkins as he's really known, and a good mate in the past to yours as well.
The main reason for DM's decision is lack of commitment on any of the other two lads side, Hercules (Craig Daines - assistant editor) and also is or was editor of UFO which is a diskmag for UFO enthusiast's together with a lad called XLR8 who is TC's music editor are both for packing The Crypt in.
Apparently, TC has a readership all over
the country, and some readers abroad, and even with that following,
the output is there, but as all the lads on The
Ripper know, is that a
diskmag needs an equal amount
of both "INPUT" and "OUTPUT" Rn order for a diskmag to
continue, so apparently, The Crypt has hardly any of the former,
but a fair bit of the latter, so Dungeon Master has decided that
alone, he's carried The Crypt far enough, and so, as he says in his
words "Fuck it Steve, I've had enough mate".
And so lads, with The Crypt
out, or on it's way out, surely, this is a good time
to seize the bull by the horns so to speak and approach
a couple of PD libraries, F1 Software being a good place
to start possibly, in fact any of the still available PD libraries
might want to sell copies of The Ripper, if we want to expand,
then we must start to look at other outlets as
well as contacts wanting issues and
also the "Online" contacts, do we want to become
a well known diskmag like The Crypt was, or do we just want
to stay in the shadows,
I think not....(Dr Jekyll).
