Is that thing still going? It takes me back... m.e. 12:04, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
It looks like the external link is broken....
I changed it to "first magazine" instead of "one of the first fanzines." I've often heard of A&E as the first, and I've never heard a counterclaim. I added contributors who have Wikipedia pages of their own (myself among them). I added the debt my game Over the Edge owes to A&E. Jonathan Tweet 05:02, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm changing it back to "one of the first." Claiming that it's the first based on one's own knowledge without proper references just leaves too much of a chance of being wrong. -- Talono 01:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Is it amateur if they're making enough money off it to pay off their mortgage early? It's not amateur, you can't even sign up for the email copy for free, despite it costing next to nothing in reproduction costs. : http://www.mythusmageopines.com/wp/?m=20050713
The oldest continually published RPG magazine amateur or professional will be publishing issue 360 this august. Alarums and Excursions began as a continuation of conversations started in the Los Angeles Speculative Fiction Society’s own newsletter, and grew to become one of the leading voices in the early RPG community. Many an RPG notable has appeared in A&E, and a number got their start there.
Mrs. Gold has published A&E with the able help of her husband, Barry for all these years. They even managed to pay off their mortgage early because of A&E.
