    Default Hyper Play a new printed RPG Fanzine!

    Firstly to say this is not my fanzine, just that a absolutely adore printed fanzines and I thought to spread the word about this new one to the forums I'm a member of.

    Loads of quality content in Issue 0, including:
    *superb new reviews of FFIV, FFVI and Bahamut Lagoon
    *EXCLUSIVE - the Prologue to the epic FFVI novel by professional writers David Logan and James Moon (in print for the first time ever)
    *1001 Videogames You Must Play Before You Die
    *PSP RPG feature
    *Top Secret eBay tips
    *Guide to visiting Akihabara (inc 2 x FF cafes) on the cheap
    *Playtests of Nintendo games
    *Super Play magazine retrospective and competition
    *The best of RPG artwork
    and lots, lots more!
    We are PRINT-ONLY and, given the love, quality and sheer beauty of the thing, each issue is sure to be highly collectable.
    PM me or email rpgzine@hotmail.com to join the others already at the front of the queue. Word is getting round and it's looking like Issue 0 of HyperPlay RPG will sell out.
    Apart from the very small postage cost, it's pay-what-you-like. So there's nothing to lose, everything to gain.
    If you like RPGs, you'll love HyperPlay RPG. So what are you waiting for?
    PM me or email rpgzine@hotmail.com to make sure you don't miss out.
    All the best

    What's got me particularly excited about this new fanzine is that it appears to be heavily influenced by my absolute all time favorite magazine the legendary Super Play!!
    Which for those who don't know was a nineties UK SNES mag that covered tons of import games, RPGs, anime and Japanese culture.

    Obviously the more you pay us, the more time we can spend on future issues and the better we can make HyperPlay RPG fanzine! We think you'll like what you see in issue 0.

    Hehe I always had a good fight with Super Play and Tony Mot. In the last issue he called me an 'imbelice'. Nice spelling, Tony, I guess I had the last laugh.

    Kind of a funny title, isn't RPG playing more like Mellow Play? :P

    Great news! Thanks for sharing. Younger kids today probably scratch their heads and put paper zines in the same category as cassette tapes, but it was an essential part of my youth and I'm happy to see it alive and well. Every now and then I do feel an itch to create a zine, paper and staples all, and mail them out. It was a lot of fun and I felt like I belonged to a "scene" that was part of the greater popular culture.

    Today, of course, one could publish a blog and be instantly read worldwide...FOR FREE...which is something we zine editors 20+ years ago couldn't possibly dream up. Like mix tapes, you really have to love the craft of making these things. The medium is the message, as the saying goes.

    For the record, I am always awaiting a new issue of Digital Press. If the decision is ever made to publish again, I will gladly volunteer my talents for the cause.
