Sadly, I just found out that it has ceased publication just shy of its 50th anniversary, and over 590 monthly issues.
Alarums & Excursions was one of the longest running, if not the longest running APAs ever. It won numerous “best amateur magazine” awards, especially in the 80s and 90s, including being inducted into the Origins Hall of Fame in 2022.
…disappointed to see alarums + excursions end so close to the gold mark but by that same measure its run is nothing short of a triumph by modern standards; lee gold’s shadow looms large and well-earned…
