Shadis Magazine, Issue #17, 1995

Founded by Jolly Blackburn, of Knights of the Dinner Table fame, (which originated with Shadis), and co-written by John Zinser and David Seay, Shadis was a gaming magazine first published in 1990. Best remembered for including MTG cards with each issue, it was dedicated to tabletop gaming, and lasted until 1998, with the last issue being #53.

Starting in full black and white, later editions had colored covers and even fully colorized pages.

Issues up to #23 have been fully archived on IA, although certain later prints up to #48 are also available.

"Will you have lunch with me?" Modern au !Keith shadis x wife reader (one shot writing practice!)

----------------------------------------------

The echoes of y/ns footsteps and the buzz of running air conditioners were the only sounds that could be heard in the empty halls of Traust high. Y/n walked the empty halls before stopping in front of a classroom door and knocking. The door slid open, and Keith stood in the doorway. "y/n? What are you doing here?" He asked with a quizzical look on his face, "You forgot your lunch at home, so I came here to bring it to you!" Y/n said, holding up the wrapped bento box for emphasis. Your husband smiled before taking the lunch box in his hands. "I don't have a class right now. Do you want to come in and have lunch?" He asked, and you nodded before stepping into the classroom and shutting the door behind you. The hour long lunch break was filled with idle talk and laughter between the two of you. Then the bell rang and brought an end to y/ns visit, "Well that's my que to leave " y/n sighed while packing up the empty lunchboxes "get home safe sweetheart, call me when you get home " He said before kissing y/n on the forehead, y/n kissed Keith on the cheek before waving goodbye and walking out of the classroom and making her way home.

Can you tell I have a lot of thoughts about Agent and his reaction to Mitsi's death and how he probably would've sacrificed himself for her in a heartbeat if he'd had a little more time to act.

And how he probably feels all that more indebted to victim for failing to save their partner, or to stop their spiral into paranoia and fear, or to do something, anything to help them.

And how he's also probably spiraling in his own way, putting up a stoic and unbothered front to avoid confronting the guilt that haunts him, ignoring how much it hurts to never get any comfort or closure, because he can't burden victim with his own issues when they've already got so much else to deal with.

...Also I think he should get to punch Chosen in the face 1 (one) more time. As a treat.

here’s this thing IT DOESN’T MATTER it doesn’t MATTER if you like kamala harris. it doesn’t matter if she’s not your ideal, perfect candidate.

the other side has the support of NAZIS. of the KKK. of white supremacists and pedophiles and every type of vile evil person you can imagine. and donald trump welcomes them. he makes them feel safe.

you will be dooming your bipoc friends, your disabled friends, your lgbtq+ friends. you’ll be dooming palestinians and at-risk kids and marginalized groups of all types.

it doesn’t matter who you like. what matters is that you vote blue anyway.

Shadis Magazine, Issue #09, 1993

Another Shadis cover, since we actually came across a few we liked when first deciding on which cover to feature in our previous post on the magazine. Since we've already covered a little bit of the history of Shadis, here's a few bonus bits of info about this magazine!

The average structure of a Shadis issue was often an update on various goings-on with the team and their own various TTRPG adventures, ('Cries from The Attic'), a Q&A section with readers, and then what would move on to either retellings from TTRPG sessions, advertisements, shoutouts to certain notable figures in the community, tips and tricks for world building and writing your own campaigns, (Issue 08, for example, actually had an excellent introduction on writing criminal justice systems for GM's, written by Blackburn), and finally, a classifieds and mailing section called the 'Market Platz', for various similar zines, RPG publishers, as well as "bounties" placed by readers of Shadis itself, dedicated to reaching out to other readers of the magazine.

my comic for @aabadendingzine which is out for free over here.

extra stuff/commentary under the cut | like what i do? support me on ko-fi 💙

helloooo how's it going? i really hope you enjoyed the comic <3 it's rare for me to draw such wholesome things, i know [bats eyelashes]

DFGHDJKF ok i know, it's evil, the entire zine is evil you should go read it!!!!!!! but also, i remember coming up with this prompt and the image of mikeko trying to wake a dead apollo up evoked such a visceral reaction in me that i audibly went "NOOOOOO" when i thought it up LOL

the fourth page is the first page i ever thumbnailed bc i knew EXACTLY how i wanted this thing to end!

i think my favorite page of this comic is the 2nd page (the 4th page being my second favorite bc what can i say, i'm evil wheezes) i just really enjoyed drawing the montage of apollo going about his life and kristoph just. being there. always watching him.

i keep thinking about how spark brushel mentioned feeling like he was being watched those past 7 years. i imagined apollo would get a taste of that once he starts trying to find out the truth behind what happened in his first case.

and as for my favorite panel, I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE!! it's just fun shoving every important element alluding to the case 7 years ago to the moment when zak died!

and it's not very obvious but an element i really like about this one is zak still on the chair he died on. it's just his torso visible and i would've loved to make it more obvious that he's there but oh well.

i can't think of anything else to add about drawing this so i'll end it by saying: PLEASE GO READ THE ZINE, IT'S SO SOS SOSOSOS FULL OF LOVE FOR HURT AND TRAGEDY AND THE WAY MY FELLOW ZINEMATES EXPLORED THAT IS SUCH!!! GOOD AND HEARTWRENCHING STUFF!!!!!!!!!

i had to take a break from reading the zine when i went out to finish it bc my chest started to physically hurt bc ohhhhh lordy, it just hurt. it just hurt a lot! (please do read the trigger warnings before reading the thing bc this zine deals with a lot of heavy stuff!)

i like to joke about how i'm evil and enjoy evil things such as angst no comfort which. well, it's kind of true LMAO so i'm thrilled that i was able to be a part of this zine and cook up something completely terrible <3

here's the link for it again, go read it!
