Tavern of the Blue Hand

A few years back, before I got too busy with life and MUDs went to the backburner, I recall there being a print magazine featuring MUDs.

I was wondering if anyone knew what it was called, and if it's still around? I'm a guy who can't get enough of MUDs, but I'm doubting it exists to this day.

Thanks.

Didn't they disappear a couple years back with the last issue?

If I recall, they never published the 4th issue despite the fact that people who bought it paid for 4 issues. Then they lied about it for a year or more. There were stories of this delay or that, and claims that the last issue was still on the way! They were even taking subscriptions/payments during this time. Then they disappeared. I think that's a relatively accurate summary. Perhaps someone more familiar with the situation can explain more clearly.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. Later I did find it on Google. It's too bad they made some bad business decisions. I would have loved a magazine like that.
