ASG's Zine-O-Rama

What's in the box: Going by its name, each month brings a curated selection of indie tabletop RPG zines, though the site does not list exact contents.

ASG's Zine-O-Rama is the RPG subscription from All Systems Go Games, a small game store that sells new and used board games, RPG books, card games, video games and 3D printed miniatures. It sits in the shop's Subscriptions section next to a board game club and is listed from $14.99. The store describes its subscriptions as a curated surprise in the mail each month and as a way to support a small local game store with a recurring membership. The name points to zines, the short, independently made RPG booklets that have become a big part of indie tabletop gaming. However, the site does not say exactly what arrives each month, how many items are included, or which game systems the zines cover. That lack of detail is the main drawback. The shop clearly knows tabletop RPGs: it stocks 5E content, sells miniature sets that come with free 5E adventure modules, and carries indie RPG titles. If you like finding small press games and would rather your money go to an independent store than a big retailer, this is an affordable way to try it. If you want a predictable box with a published contents list, ask the store for details before you subscribe.
