Including 14 more entries, hyperlinked tables of contents, updated art, and lovely endpaper collages by Jude! This is the edition we are submitting to the Ennies under the Online Content and Community Created Content categories. We'll let you all know if we make the nominees! Fingers crossed.
To celebrate, Haasio has designed a new sticker add-on! Profits from this 6d4 design will go towards compensating everyone on the zine team. Available here! We're still working on alt text, accessibility, and proofreading edits for the second half of the zine. These will be coming April in the printed version + itch.io release.
Less than a week remains to grab a copy for the print run! The backerkit campaign closes March 29th.
Hi everyone! Incredibly, we are over $9000 in funding! Thank you all for following, sharing, and backing!
By the end of March, we'll be releasing a new digital pdf edition of the zine with new print content. We're planning to submit this version of the zine for consideration in the Ennies, under the Online Content and Community Created Content categories.
This edition includes revisions to existing contributions and 14 new entries! Expect additional finished artwork, missions, factions, mission reports, tons of GM content, and a preview of our very special Employees of the Month page!
The Employees of the Month page will be finalized for the definitive Print Edition PDF we're shooting to release in April. This will also include a cover art expansion by Kodasea and collaged endpapers by Jude! Alt text and screen reader accessibility is currently in the works for this final version, and about 50% done!
200 zines have been ordered, which unlocks a shipping discount of around $9 USD!

I ran some math on shipping discounts going forward, and it stops increasing as quickly. It also fluctuates a lot more than I previously thought. The main cause of variation is the percentage of international orders, since the print run is split between the US and EU. The shipping poll (please respond! It's attached below) currently suggests that 27% of the zines will be printed in the EU (EU + "Other" addresses).
As you can see, the rate at which the price decreases slows down around 250 zines, where it starts to flatten out. I probably won't be putting out further discounts on shipping, since I don't expect us to go past 300 zines. If that changes, I'll be in touch! The current shipping discount is somewhere around $6-9 USD, depending on the percent of orders printed in the EU.
We also have some art updates! Haasio and Wyllora are still offering slots for the Employee of the Month section of the zine, and we've got a sample page of the completed artwork! The art commissioned through the forms below will be completed BEFORE the Backerkit batch of commissions. We're around 50% of the way sold out!
"Thank you for your support! Every stretch goal has been met, so all remaining funds will go towards further discounting shipping for everyone"
Hey y'all!! It's truly incredible we smashed every single stretch goal in 5 hours. Thank you so much for the support and help in making this fanzine the best it can be!
We will not be offering any further stretch goals so that all of the additional money can go back to the backers— credited as discounts to shipping! These zine shipping discounts apply to EVERYONE, regardless of your address. All prices in USD.
If we can make it past 200 zine orders, it is possible that certain addresses get free shipping! These depend on your proximity to Jude and Haasio, who will be shipping the zines out from Czechia (EU and international orders) and Massachusetts, USA (USA, Canada, Mexico) respectively.
To help us create better estimates on shipping discounts, please respond to the poll below!
Our organizers are running the zine's print run as strictly not-for-profit, so any excess zine money after manufacturing, handling, and packaging the zines will be spent on shipping discounts for the backers. If you wish to help support the organizers for their time, consider picking up a sticker or two! Stickers and commissions in the Add-Ons menu are separate from the zine funds, and go towards compensating organizers for their time and efforts.
Special thanks to Caleb at Haunted Table Games for spreading the word about our campaign! The boost last night was incredible. It's awesome to see so many new faces!
