The Escapist is a new e-zine featuring a ton of names that are well-known amongst the gaming intelligentsia — the first issue has an article by Tycho Brahe of Penny Arcade, where I am a moderator on their forums.

You can read the stuff on the site, via feeds or as a downloadable PDF, and even have the PDF mailed to you when there’s a new issue.

The site looks good, though I would probably have a stroke if I started thinking about accessibility issues. Also, it’s very annoying that the site hijacks your arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn keys for site navigation.

Also, the site has lots of signs that tell me it’s powered by Ruby on Rails.
