With mascots and now a comic by @othatsraspberry.com, what else can I do to give the zine more of that classic magazine feel?
How about a letters section?!
If y’all want to write a letter discussing or asking a question about the zine, any of the previous games, or any comments, send me a DM!

As an optional add on or included in the “Everything set,” you get three stickers by @ryspiritart.bsky.social inspired by the games inside the issue.
