The new APWOT arrived yesterday and it's simply marvelous to hold and read. I may be a touch biased having worked on multiple issues, but @cazwis.bsky.social produces a wonderful product and you should totally check out the Kickstarter for the next issue: @apwot.bsky.social. Print ain't dead.

It is here! and oh my stars, I came for the UO/VW feature but the layout design in every story is just. GORGEOUS?!?!?
I cannot wait to read this cover to cover.
I remember now that I backed the standard edition, probably because I'd be doing exactly that and wouldn't want to mess it up

Personally, I love the @apwot.bsky.social issues, and got a few special versions. They live on my bookshelf at work and students leaf through them delighted at how nice it feels.
You should buy nice magazines!
