If you haven't read an issue before, Five out of Ten is a great, exploratory games magazine offering diverse voices and interesting perspectives. We're thrilled to have be occupying space alongside the excellent contributors, and highly recommend you check it out

ME&R Funding has opened

With our prototype issue just a fortnight away, ME&R has officially opened up our Patreon page!

All issues of ME&R will be free to view online, no matter what - but by pledging to support you'll be helping to pay contributors fairly for their work (as well as for print runs of each issue, and ME&R's web hosting). Any contribution is highly appreciated, and there will be more backer rewards added as we go.

A minor change and the near future

Hello friends! As you may or may not know, ME&R is my first zine project, and it's a lot of other Firsts as well. Which means this very first issue is a learning curve - how long will it take to edit submissions, make cover art, send invoices, work out the layout... so far, it's going well, but there's been a lot to learn. Beyond being a learning tool, this first issue will also be the sample of ME&R's work that will be used to kick off a Patreon page for funding - it seems unreasonable to ask people to support the work before you can really see what it is after all.

With that in mind, there will be a minor change to the first issue. ISSUE #1 - TRAVELLING is actually going to be released as ISSUE #0. This issue has a much work poured into it as I hope all future issues will, but is very much a pilot. A pre-zine, if you will, released purely online initially and with the potential to print it alongside future issues.

So what other news do we have for you?

Well, the announcement for the Issue #1 theme will come on Saturday the 10th, and some previews of Issue #0 pieces are coming up this week too. Keep an eye out!

ME&R now has an itch.io account and steam group - these will primarily be used to create lists of games featured in or recommended as additions to each article.
