GRIND Magazine V Launches a Demo!

GRIND, Romania's only gaming magazine, returns with a demo for its fifth edition.

Video game, comic book, and board game enthusiasts in our country will be able to access 30 pages of content from our upcoming publication for free.

You'll be able to read about games like Avowed, South of Midnight, Star Wars Outlaws, Atomfall, and Outlast. Editors include Leonard Luția, Vladimir CioLAN, and Zuluf. And the interview section also includes an interview with Morphi, one of the most prominent game collectors in our country (and probably the best photographer for the new acquisitions he makes almost weekly).

To read this demo, open the GRIND page at https://grnd.ro

The launch will also be presented on the GRIND podcast on YouTube, on 12 April starting at 9 PM: https://www.youtube.com/@RevistaGRIND

Concurrently, we are also announcing the opening of the “Rodipet” donation category on the project's Patreon page. All those who contribute a minimum of €20 to this initiative will receive a printed copy of GRIND V magazine sometime in July of the current year. More details about Patreon donations can be found at: https://www.patreon.com/RevistaGRIND

The content in the magazine will always be free for all those who access our website — with the possibility to download PDF files of all editions of GRIND magazine. However, printed magazines involve increased production costs and require additional work. You are not obliged to make any donation to enjoy the articles and graphics. But if you want to add a thick, glossy magazine to your collection, then you have the option to reserve a copy via Patreon.

Moreover, we encourage the production and distribution of GRIND magazines. If you want to print your own copies, we are happy that our work is so appreciated. You even have the freedom to sell the magazines without being obliged to give us any part of the profit — the only request, however, is to acknowledge the authors' contributions by not modifying or deleting any name.

We look forward to seeing you at the podcast and hope you will give our small journalistic effort a chance. The best way to support the GRIND project does not involve money, but the will to promote the efforts of a team that still keeps true games journalism alive, in Romanian. Success is measured not only in numbers, but also in involvement and enthusiasm.
