Default Gate, a TFT 'zine Kickstarter?

I found out about GATE · A Fantasy Trip® RPG Zine well after the Kickstarter completed. I was bummed about missing it, but I see it seems like a failed Kickstarter and will not deliver the final product. I'm curious if anybody was a backer and if there was any indication what kind of stuff was going to be in it. I'm sad we won't be getting more TFT goodies, and would love to know what we missed.

The Kickstarter page includes a list of the intended articles.

I re-purposed my submissions for another 'zine project... and this one got published!

I hope the other authors find a home for their articles as well.

Me, too! Now I need to update my list of TFT articles in periodicals. There was a huge gap where it never got updated at all, and now I see I need to put in Hexagram, The Fanzine Trip (which I can't find for sale anywhere!) and Heroic Expeditions.

I wonder if I should put in Cauldron? It's the occasional magazine for Heroes & Other Worlds.

I see The Fanzine Trip over at Noble Knight Games (https://www.nobleknight.com/P/214802...urple-Cabochon).

It might well have been a one-off, can't say for sure here.

Man, I was really hoping for PDF -- once my daughter was born I instantly ran out of room for more physical gaming materials! 🤣

I don't think The Fanzine Trip is available in any other way than a hardcopy from someone's collection.

It looks like PDFs used to be available. There are links to a DTRPG page that's been deactivated.

The creator of that 'zine broke all ties w/ SJG and the TFT community. He was the one who deleted the original TFT Discord server w/ no notice, explanation or apology. Those bridges are pretty thoroughly burned.
