The zine's the thing

As outlined in our "let's make Retronauts a full-time venture!" post from last week, our next Patreon backer reward mailing (due in a few months) will be dropping posters and stickers as rewards — they're expensive to produce and I can't seem to find evidence that anyone likes them — in favor of digital and print editions of a Retronauts fanzine. By "Retronauts fanzine" I do not mean a book created by fans of the show; I just mean an amateur-style hand-crafted mini-magazine. Like they did in the ’90s. It's retro!
