Super-cool White Dwarf 99! From 1988 & editorial re Realm of Chaos notes, “The Realm of Chaos swirls around our feet as we trip over ourselves trying to get this issue out.

I made a few issues of very tiny White Dwarf magazine so my Imperial Guards have something to read. If you take care of your soldiers they fight better.
