A few more zines I printed out this morning while having my morning coffee. First are two about game history. Yu-Gi-Oh! 1999, a look at the first competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! format, by Temple of Ra:

Obscure Vandalism Ideas by mind ape is the kind of zine that makes me want to trawl my city looking for vandalism, and then make zines about them to document the people who passed through here, wonder what they were like, and what was going on in their lives. Please I need more

Couple #zines that were not from the Hybrid Decker Zine Jam but are still neat: The Fediverse as an alternative to Instagram by @soapdisch . You're reading this on the Fediverse so you already know most/all of this lol but it's till neat to have on hand and possibly whip out on unsuspecting Insta users in the wild

the fediverse as an alternative to instagram

So many Instagram users have qualms about how their data might be used without their consent, yet they continue to use the platform for lack of a better option. This zine introduces the Fediverse as a viable alternative. Download the PDF here Print with A4 Borderless settings, scaled to 98%. Fold into a minizine and…

As I collect more print-out zines, so too do my powers grow... if you have a printer, you too can just print out zines and Have them, put them in your wallet, give them to your friends, lovers, and enemies, slip them inside library books for strangers to discover

@renkotsuban While I'm trapped in letter-size hell, I know someones who managed to get Lindwyrm (and related, I think?) to work printed on A4 with some tight trimming -- the others on here generally have pretty decent margin space so if nothing else they should fit on a page and be foldable, I think.

If not and there's something you'd really like A4 for let me know and I'll see if I can bash things around lol

(many of these are also itch but this is more direct lol)

[taichara@turnipheap.loneknight.quest]

@renkotsuban They aren't very flashy, but they're mine :3;;

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

@taichara omg I love these, currently printing and folding ahaha. Unfortunately I think letter size is slightly larger than A4 so when I resize to fit, some of the margins get squished (so a little of the text cuts cut on text-heavy ones like Wandering Wayfarers and Lindwyrm) but for the most part these work perfect!!*

*I need to get one of those long staplers tho that can reach to the middle and get these haha, the only stapler I have is mostly for corners But it's fine it worked out too!!

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

omg look at all these zines by @taichara. I love flipping through game systems manuals and bestiaries and good ruminations, augh zines are so GOOD okay

Printing these tho made me realize that if I'm gonna keep doing this, I am gonna need to invest in some nice scissors and a stapler that will reach the spines of these fold-up zines, haha

[taichara@turnipheap.loneknight.quest]

@renkotsuban Yeah, that whole patch of Lindwyrm [x]/Wandering Wayfarers spun out of a "can I fit an workable basic D&Dish on one sheet" and then extras because lol (and then WW grew, lol) which meant much squinchier margins than usual.

I did spend a few days after making Lindwyrm trying to reflow everything into an A4 format but it just didn't work >_<

Stapling trick for half-page etc: fold, open up stapler, put the zine gutter on cardboard or etc, staple down and pull free, fold staples ~

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

@taichara Unfortunately I have the kind of stapler that won't let me open it up (I cannot complain tho since I stole it from a school I used to work at LOL.....)

@renkotsuban thanks for testing it out!!
