Now on Kickstarter, we have a single campaign for two different zines!
Illuminated Manuscript. A collection of web articles, unpublished material, and text from our retailer newsletter from 1987 and 1988, this small zine is a grab bag of random fun for your reading pleasure! One of the things we miss most about magazines and newsletters is the ability to hold the work in our hands, and Illuminated Manuscript brings some of our web articles to print for the very first time.
1976 Ogre Playtest Booklet. First published in 1977, Ogre is Steve's first game and it has been through several editions over the last four decades . . .

It's hitting upwards of 70 degrees in Austin this week, so it's a bit unreal that just seven days ago it was single digits and our power grid was failing. We're fortunate to have come out the other side, and while much of the team was affected by power and water outages (myself included), we were still able to get a Kickstarter project launched and keep the wheels turning.
Despite all that, we're definitely some of the lucky ones, and many people were not as lucky . . .
