SBG magazine
A fanzine for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game
Damian O'Byrne and Tom Harrison produce a Middle-earth fanzine in their spare time with the help of numerous contributors from the Great British Hobbit League community. Free PDF copies of the magazine of Issues 1-5 and our two special editions (April Fool's, Advent) can be found by clicking on the cover images below.
Each regular issue is 48 pages long and contains articles on tactics, battle reports, opinion-pieces, hobby aids and more. Our primary goal when we started this project was to create a fanzine containing content exclusively from The Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game and we're very proud of our 'little project'!
Can I pick up physical copies of the magazine? Yes! We also get physical copies of the fanzine professionally printed, which we post worldwide (we've posted to 30 countries!). We do this so that if you, like us, love sitting in a comfy armchair and thumbing through the pages of a glossy magazine, you can do so! If you're interested in picking up any physical copies of our issues or want to get in touch, then please drop us an email at sbgmagazine@gmail.com.
