Volume 6: HBGames Xen Era
These eight are the latest issues and they are the ones I am most proud of. Chunky in length and a definite rise in quality. Take any issue with the pink HB badge as a quality sign.
Volume 5: Advanced RPG Maker Magazine... Era
We had a good run, and the first four issues of aRPGMaker were high quality, but ultimately the magazine was too much work to complete, especially as we were still making HB the Zine at the same time. It was difficult to get the outside community engaged, which was the purpose. Nonetheless, if you exclude the last issue which is a bit of a dud, aRPGM is a solid work.
Volume 4: Decline Era
These mark the Dark Days of .org - especially since there is a three year gap in there too. The issues are smaller, contrived so as to use as little content as possible to make them easier to churn out. I am not proud of these, although there are some great games and a few decent articles mixed in.
Volume 3: eZine Rebirth Era
These mark a huge uplift in quality from the Despain era, and they were my first attempt at actually replicating the original eZine format. They are more graphical than Lene's issues and a lot of them are highly experimental in terms of look and layout. And, I think, there are some decent articles in the mix!
Volume 2: Despain's .ORG Era
These were originally released in a different format, and they are short and not very sweet. Issue 8 for one is just a test issue and highly questionable. There are some good reviews in here though, such as Mawk's review of vvvvvv (which was never actually one of our games...)
These are the first issues where I am involved in the creation of the eZine. I had some help from some regular members at the time (you'll see their articles).
Special: 2006-2009 Retrospective
This was wedged in later on to fix the fact there are too few magazines, as one issue was labelled "Issue 3 & 4 Bumper Issue!" (it's short).
We feature three reviews of our Games of the Year for those years, and catch up on some of the big contests that went on at the time.
This era was largely where we shifted to the This Week on .ORG thread format for news and content, and so the eZines were unnecessary.
Volume 1: Lene's Era
These are the original eZines, edited by Lene and her eZine team. The first three are from the dark days of the collapse of RMXP.net; the next three are from the embers of Ccoa and Erk's RMXP.org. They're gritty and difficult to read sometimes but they started something big.
