Reviews:

Rolling Boxcars: “I thoroughly enjoyed reading this magazine. Everyone’s mileage may vary with the usefulness of the articles to them personally, but they were fun to read and most were thought provoking… I think you will enjoy this as much as I did. I would recommend you take a chance on this magazine.”

Reckoning of the Dead: “Arkham Gazette #1 accomplishes its goal of offering Keepers and authors, potential or experienced, more information about Arkham.

Seth Skorkowsky: “I really like this scenario. It’s a fresh kind of Call of Cthulhu scenario that really leans in and feels like an 80s horror movie.”

Never Read the Latin: “The Dare… offers up a fun and terrifying 1980s horror vibe that’s great for experienced and new players alike.

    Were can I get Issues 1 & 2 at ?

    • Issues 1 and 2 are currently not available from Sentinel Hill Press. They are being relaid out to bring them into the same style as issue 3 plus some minor corrections and updating. I will let people know as soon as they’re ready. If you can’t wait I believe an older version of issue 1 was put on Archive.org… But I hope you’ll buy them when they are rereleased. 🙂

  4. Erik says:

    So, issue 2 have finally arrived, and has been altered to look like the others!? Nice! But what happened to the possibility of buying it in physical print? I have the others printed, and are not interested in just a PDF. Regards, Erik B.
