Valkyrie was a UK role-playing magazine that existed between 1994 and 2003.
Publication history
The magazine was started in 1994.[1] Angus Abranson was one of the forces behind the foundation of Valkyrie, and reported news for the magazine afterward while working in his position at Leisure Games.[2]: 341–342 It was published by Partisan Press and edited originally by Dave Renton (original editor of Role Player Independent) and then taken over by Jay Forster. Renton held the post from 1994 to 1998 and Forster from 1999 to 2003.[1]
Some[who?] claimed that it was the successor to White Dwarf amongst the UK role-playing community,[citation needed] with numerous contributors from across the hobby, including Phil Masters and Marcus Rowland.
The magazine was resurrected as a quarterly with issue 19 and ran for several years before ceasing publication with issue 28. It folded in 2003.[1]
On 15 September 2019,[3] the first edition of an all new Valkyrie magazine was launched in 2019, but its ownership, contents, style and target market are completely different. In other words, apart from the name, the new magazine has nothing to do with the original.
