Very affordable, if you can stand to sort through all the slash...

Hi, i have a spread number of titles and issues... never had the chance to complete any of the print runs... sooner or later i have to make my mind up about these...
If you are interested in my list you can send me a PM!
3 more details:
1. I am not in the US
2. I am in touch with another EU zine collector who is still very active
3. You'd better get in touch with Brette who is the 'lord of the zines' here as well as Joe Nutall who is running a very interesting recovery program from old zines!

Not just Gaming ones but anything Star Trek/Wars, Comic Book Related, Sci-Fi/Movie related.

Always thought they were so cool

I agree 100% ... I think they are like little snap shots of different gaming groups and different time periods in the earlier days of the hobby.  You can see this commonality in what people came up with (like background charts and skills tables to use in character creation and ways to improve D&D's spell system) as well as this depth of creativity around monsters, magic items and adventures.  

I didn't realize til I was reading Jon Peterson's latest book, The Elusive Shift, how you could pull out these different ideas and sort of categorize theories about what role playing was, how the DM and players should play etc.  We're still having that same debate about player agency and DM as storyteller versus guide in a story created by the players, dungeon delving combat and treasure accumulation versus intensive role playing and character development ... reading Jon's book you can see that's not a new 5e vs. 1e debate -- that existed before 1e AD&D had even been written.

Anyway, I love fanzines and encourage other people to enjoy them too.

AZMountaineer wrote in Fanzine Enthusiasts:Yes that's me.  Glad you like the videos.  

I'm doing a video on The Apprentice #6 in a couple of weeks, so I'll share that adventure when I pull that fanzine out.  If you see me mention any other scenario (a lot of them did have those) you'd be interested in for the blog, just let me know.

That would be great - thanks.

I hadn't spotted you'd started doing The Apprentice. I love the insanity of the adventures in that Fanzine - not sure how playable some of them are (The encounters in The Sanctuary of the Setians in #3 are mostly insta-kill) but the madness of a Giant Pigeon themed adventure was great. Gary Gygax appeared to be fighting a battle to keep D&D serious, and to my mind that was a strong motivation for why he started publishing his adventures - to set the tone.

I think of the zines you've shown so far that'll be the first from the 70's with a scenario in it I've not seen.

AZMountaineer wrote in Fanzine Enthusiasts:I haven't read through Demons Drawl yet but I have most of those (missing 2 or 3 I think).  Did that one just go to #15?  That's the last one I have.

After issue #15 it changed name to Telegraph Road and continued to issue #26 (for the last issue it is named Terri - its nickname). I think it's rarer after the name change as that's when it stopped being distributed to shops and became subscriber only. In total it ran from July 1983 - Nov 1987. There was a postal gaming supplement for some issues, and two publications - "Karush" - background for the magazine's PBM campaign, and Galadran Supplement (which collects all the Galadran material from issues 1-15 of Demons Drawl).

After that there was "Issue" which ran to 11 issues and June '91 (or at least that's where my copies end) which is a different beast - it contains a PBM "interactive fiction" game each issue but is mostly about Christianity - but the first issue has an article Terri #27. This isn't an extra issue but a history of the fanzine Demons Drawl / Telegraph Road / Terri and why it changed names halfway through and why it ended.

AZMountaineer wrote in Fanzine Enthusiasts:I'd be interested if you want to shoot me a list of fanzines you might be willing to trade/part with.  I have several extras/duplicates and I'd be glad to send some your way.  I haven't heard of The Wizard before.

Will do
