Exclusive: Check Out Wil Overton's Gorgeous Cover Art For HyperPlay RPG Issue Two

40 pages for £4? Really?

I think I'll pick this up. Been a fan of Wil Overton for quite some time, and he's often popped in for some Nintendo Directs here too. What a ledge!

Since this is out next monday, the renewed interest people might get from it will hopefully provide a boost to my SoM2/SD3 repro stream that I was gonna start this friday xD

Hi @riChchestM - Editor Kincl here. That's as cheap as we can go for a self-funded fan initiative, featuring a glossy full colour A4 size poster by Wil on the cover! If you like Nintendo or RPGs there's stacks more to interest you in HyperPlay RPG than any newsstand magazine. And the 40pp are packed - no ads, just all-new, quality content. It takes ages to read it all:

Everyone who's taken the plunge (about 1,000 readers so far) loves the 'zine:

Our first couple of issues are 50p cheaper if you prefer and the price includes quick delivery to your door.

If you take the plunge, perhaps you'll come back and edit your comment, maybe even contribute to the zine like other readers have. Let us know!

Is Secret of Mana 2 Seiken Densetsu 3?

@riChchestM

I honestly think it's good value if you're into that kind of thing.

As a fan-made project it does lack the polished sheen of an old Future magazine, but in my opinion it more than makes up for it with decent content throughout, written by passionate people.

That's some cool art!

ah, the simpler days...

Wow looks great! Reminds me of the old UK gaming mag called HYPER back in the 90's.

Can you not pre-order the newest one yet? Either way I think i'm going to buy that first issue number 0 with FF4 on it. Not as interested in the Xenoblade Chronicles one.

Hi @dougphisig. Thanks for the interest in our fanzine. We don't take pre-orders because we don't like to take anyone's money unless we have their copy ready to send immediately ☺. Hope you like Issue 0 (the FFIV & VI one)!

Everyone who has bought copies of HyperPlay RPG today - we're sending them out now. UK readers please give it a couple of days. Europe/Worldwide, 1-2 weeks. Hope you enjoy the 'zine!

@kincl4 Awesome thanks ya I already ordered the Issue 0 looking forward to it. I'm a huge old school RPG fan especially FF 4 & 6 are a couple of my favorites of all time.

@riChchestM About the price of a comic book.

From your website:
"UPDATE: Better still, the first 100 copies of Issue 2 will also receive a glossy double-sided Terranigma poster (seen on this webpage) created exclusively for HyperPlay RPG by Anna Vuong!!!

PRIORITY FOR ISSUE 2 WILL GO TO BUYERS OF ISSUES 0 & 1.

So if you haven't got Issues 0 and 1 already, get them quick!"

You said you already sold 1,000 copies of each 'zine. Not a very good chance then of getting the poster even for those who already bought issues 0 and 1. I would implore you to make a notice immediately once you've shipped all the posters. Thanks.

Thanks @LemonSlice. Not everyone who bought a copy is on our mailing list (buyers at game shows etc won't be) and not everyone who bought a copy has bought both issues. So the mailing list comprising the pool of potential first 100 buyers for issue 2 is much smaller than 1,000.

References to the free poster will be removed when they're all gone.

Thanks for your interest in our 'zine and the poster. Hope you enjoy reading HyperPlay RPG.
