Looking for Article about Role Playing Games from the 1976 to 80s time frame. It was in one of the SciFi magazines of he time. I don't remember the title or even which magazine it was in. It told a story to illustrate how RPGs worked. The story is what I remember though. It was a SciFi background with magic. It seems that Magic powered the FTL in the game and the Wizards had a dislike of engineer's messing their magic up. As I remembered wizards could not do magic while under FTL drive. Engineers' were trying to define magic in their terms. Since I read that article, I've been looking for it. I have had no luck. So I'm asking for help. Anyone remember this?
It had to be in Amazing Tales or Analog or one of the other SciFi magazines. Thanks, Pinworthy |

I think the article you are looking for is On Evenings Beyond The Fields We Know by John M Ford. The article was published in the July 1979 issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. |
