I don't think Ever & Anon would make for a great venue for self-promotion but who knows. Fight On! zine (not an APA) would be better fit for that, since it is exclusively OSR focused, has been around since 2008, and allows for advertising: www.fightonzine.com

I think you'll get the best feeling if you thumb through the published issues. People write about their experiences, share play reports, reviews, so on and so forth. It is a bit like blogging and commenting before either were a thing.

Attronarch @attronarch.bsky.social · 1d

APA is in essence a collection of fanzines distributed as a single volume.

Every contributor sends in a zine, about anything really, as long as it is focused on roleplaying games.

Contributor guidelines are reprinted in every issue, plus here everanon.org#contributor-...

Toads are tough AF! They can take down unsuspecting players in few rolls :D

Finally here!

Wow, I greatly enjoyed watching Aniara. It is apparently based on a Swedish poem of the same name. Time to hunt it down and read the original too (a translation, that is). Please do let me know of any similar movies and works—I'd appreciate your recommendations!

Attronarch @attronarch.bsky.social · 20d

"You remember THE CUBE?"

"Yeah, was a fun horror / sf mix!"

"Well how about the same, but in ONE DIMENSION?!"

"What, the LINE?"

"No, THE PLATFORM!"

Joking aside it was a fun movie to spend an hour and a half on.

Eagerly awaiting for THE DOT.

Great, thanks for sharing! Last year I made 400 S&W pregens (20 for each race and class combination), so I'll test the sheet with 6 randomly selected characters.

Attronarch @attronarch.bsky.social · 25d

These are great! Please share when done, we'd love to playtest them

Attronarch @attronarch.bsky.social · 27d

Oh no

Attronarch @attronarch.bsky.social · 28d

Great game. I spent countless hours playing it on PS1.

Can't believe it's already been a year! My reflections on running a sandbox game have been read by the thousands*, published in Fight On! and praised by a few in the blogosphere. Perhaps you find the post useful too.

(Probably not, my only analytics are a number of visit. Vain, I know xD)
