Rack & Rune

Woohoo! We spent $55.90 and bought a combo printer/scanner at BJ's. It's an Epson, and it scans surprisingly well. I used it to turn an old zine of mine into a PDF in remarkably short order.

I wish it had been able to use OCR, but that didn't seem to be an option. I'll just have to make sure that the link description is fairly detailed when I add it to my RuneQuest site.

Anyway, here's a quick link to the zine. It was first published in July 1992.

I'm going to be able to start adding ALL of the missing zines now. *glee*

I'll need to redesign the zine page a little first, though. And I'll also have to do some work on them; the scan quality is excellent, but I want to add modern-perspective notes to them, just as I did for the zines I put up earlier.

Ha! Great timing, I was looking at old copies of R&R just a few days ago...

I actually had a momentary wild fantasy of holding a 20-year reunion, or something, in 2014. But I'd be afraid that too many people would be dead. :(

True enough, but it also means that roleplaying is making it seriously into a second generation... and maybe a third.
