Personally I'd read both, but if I *had* to choose one, it would be the
commercial.

Don't get me wrong, I've both played in and run my own freebie games in
the past, but you certainly seem to find a more dedicated loyal base of
players when they are coughing-up for turns, and the games seem a whole
lot more stable.

Of course there are always exceptions.
