I had an issue of this despite never owning a Sony system at the time, it was something I got at a dentist's office they let me keep since it was a back issue. I don't remember the cover but there was a story on making an RPG with no cliches (you're not the chosen one and your hometown doesn't blow up) and they had an image of a healer who was covered in blood. Pretty sure it was late 2002, Vice City might've been on the cover?
