In Survival of the Able, you’re a disabled person living in a European almshouse when the Black Death comes to your town. Little is known about where the plague originated or how to stop it, but those who die from it are rising again—and they’re hungry …

Accessible Gaming Quarterly by the Numbers

When I launched the Kickstarter campaign for Accessible Gaming Quarterly, I set a budget of $1,000 per issue. At four issues for the first year, that meant a goal of $4,000 USD. I wasn’t entirely sure how reasonable that goal was, but I was confident in my ability to make it work as long as my assumptions weren’t wildly off base.

Now that all four issues have been published, it’s time to take a look at how I did. This analysis is as much for my benefit as it is for yours. I hope that by publicly announcing my costs and numbers, I can give you an insight into what it might take to produce a zine of your own someday. If nothing else, I feel I owe it to my backers to be transparent with where the money went.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

Open Call: Authors and Artists for AGQ Year 2

The Kickstarter campaign for Accessible Gaming Quarterly, Year 2 was a huge success. 166 backers pledged over $5100 to make sure you’re going to get another four issues of the zine. Not only that, you helped raise enough money to convert all issues of the zine to ePub format.

We have already done the conversions for the first four issues. Issue 4 is now available to Year 1 backers and subscribers, and it will be available for general sale after print copies are ready to ship to backers.

With that said, it’s time to start looking ahead to Year 2 content. That’s where you come in.

Accessible Games is seeking new voices to be represented in Year 2 of the zine. We have a lot of returning contributors, who we love, but to keep spreading our reach we are going to need to attract even more writers and illustrators for the zine.

Accessible Gaming Quarterly Year 2 Now on Kickstarter

Check out Accessible Gaming Quarterly Year 2, Now on Kickstarter.

When I launched the Kickstarter campaign for Accessible Gaming Quarterly during last year’s Zine Quest promotion, I had no idea what kind of impact it was going to have. Would it be well-received? Would people be interested in the promised content? Do people really care about accessibility, or is it just one of those things we talk about?

Now that I think about it, there was a lot of uncertainty and bothersome thinking there.

Well you know what? You gals and guys shattered my expectations, uplifted …
