Hey Turbo Listers!
I'm currently developing a hard-copy Zine (e-Zines don't quite
cut it, I'm afraid) whose content revolves around obscure/overlooked
video games and systems, classic RPGs (i.e., D&D), anime and
such. I figure it's as good a help as any to ask what all of
you wouldwant from a Zine. For example, what haven't you seen
in today's mainstream magazines?
Since the Turbo is the ultimate overlooked-yet-awesome system,
you'd be the guys to ask.
Another point of interest might be the fact that
much of any given issue will be an open forum (to subscribers)
for pure, unadulterated submissions such as reviews, articles
and (have you seen it in a Zine before?) game-based fanfiction.
Since I'm also a designer for Funware, (http://funware.hypermart.net)
this Zine will be one of the best place to find coverage
on our upcoming and existing PC games.
Here's a short rundown of what the premiere issue
contains as of yet. Nothing's written in stone (in
fact, it's written in Publisher ^_^), so feel free to comment.
