Zines. Zines & dice. These are two of my favorite things. My collection always has room for more dice, and zines can fit on any shelf, physical or digital. Zines generally have far more "bang for the buck" than other gaming purchases, and they often fit into the "impulse buy" category. I really like zines :)
