Did you know? APWOT originally started as a student zine all the way back in 2014! 👀

The original self made publication used a limited colour palette, came in two sizes, was about 20 pages and was made in just under 2 weeks. We've come a long way to having Astro Bot and Playstation on the cover! 🤖

FRIENDS! 💛

My team at @bluebackpack.bsky.social and I just released The Berlin Apartment, the game we’ve worked on for the past 4 years! 😭💛

Give us so much love, wishlist and buy! ✨

This campaign also includes the Astral slipcase, for issues 4-6 of APWOT! It features a fantastical creature accompanying each letter of the APWOT initialism. Crafted from 3mm-thick card with foil blocking and spot varnish, and available as an add on and a bundle for this campaign!

A Profound Waste of Time: Issue 6 The beloved gaming mag returns, with Astro Bot's Nicolas Doucet, Danganronpa's Kazutaka Kodaka, Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda and more!

I do not post on social media, but I feel in the age of AI slop and digital only releases, something physical, beautiful and created with such care should be shouted from the rooftops.
@apwot.bsky.social keep doing what your doing!

How lucky we are to have Cas and the team throwing everything at every issue of APWOT. An honour to be asked to contribute - so many great writers I can't wait to dig into. Its annual arrival is a highlight of my gaming year. Treat yourself to a copy and you won't be disappointed.

How ‘APWOT’, The Most Beautiful Gaming Journal, Made Its Annual Release An Event 'A Profound Waste of Time' has set an incredibly high bar for printed gaming media, even if only four issues have been produced in ten years.

Thrilled speak to Forbes about the origins of the mag, the challenges of working on APWOT part-time for nearly a decade, and my hopes for the future. 📚

"APWOT is arguably the best example of print media celebrating the industry."

Oh no way! Hi Martin. Lets hang out.

Thank you KC! 😊 Hope you're well!

APWOT is generally some of the best games-related publications you can get. Absolutely worth it, incredible writing and art, and after being the coffee table book for some time, they're so pretty that they retire to a place of honour in my book cabinet for future reference.

Omg I'd love that! Maybe I'll get some practice in.

A healthy little lad.
