Colonial Times #1

An enjoyable read, and one of the best fanzines I've come across to a dedicated setting. May not be much from a standpoint of rules-related material, but it evokes the setting wondefully! I'm always looking forward to more.

I've really never been much for fanzines, but this is stunning. I feel the amount of effort put into each of these issues is tantamount to an entire adventure module for the game - and this is at no charge for the reader.

I came late to this Fanzine, but I was very impressed with its quality. The artwork is spectacular and the "in setting" commercials etc. are great and provide a really good background for the setting.

The article on Liquidity (the cover article) was very interesting.

I am really looking forward to future editions.

I am not a 2300AD player, I dabble in Traveller; this notwithstanding, I found this magazine both useful and beautiful to read, with some downfall for me (but probably not for 2300 players and referees).

I liked this issue so much, I contacted Stygian Fox and asked to contribute - which I did in the following issues (so, I won't review them as it would be ehrm... cheesy).

I particularly like the fake ads, that lend life to the product - I know, it is not a first, but it is a good use of a quality trope.

It is free. It is beautiful. It is useful. Do you need more?

An interesting fiction from the current author of 2300AD, a few bits of art from Ian Stead that are nice and an interview with a GDW alum Charles Gannon. Otherwise Colonial Times doesn't really add anything necessary or interesting as would be expected of a Fanzine though - more like junkmail. Has fictional ads etc. that look a bit amateurish. Has some history or events in the gameworld that seem to be made up by the editor maybe(?) that aren't very good. Not worth buying if it wasn't free but since it is, you don't really lose anything but time I suppose.
