Background

The original, print versions of Chop Shop zine

Chop Shop began as a self-published ‘zine in Chicago, Illinois in 2001. Circulation was almost 100 copies per issue, and the small publication focused on topics that players of role playing games found useful and interesting. With readers as far away as Florida, West Virginia and Minnesota, Chop Shop Zine covered everything from costuming to snack recipes players can serve at game. As the digital age takes over, the second edition of Chop Shop begins online.
