This is a project I’ve wanted to be super transparent on, any questions can be directed to me either over on the Kickstarter page or on the newly opened Shenmue World Forum!

 

Forum

Please share all of your fan created content with us in this forum! Fan art, articles, whatever you like! We will curate each magazine based on your contributions, whilst also including our own articles, working alongside PhantomRiverStone.com to bring some of his fantastic blog posts in printed form! Please also share your feedback on the project, and when you receive the magazine (if you are one of the lucky backers!), let us know what you think!

 

Thanks so much for checking out the Kickstarter page, and celebrating 20 long hard years with us, here at the Dojo! It’s been a pleasure being part of this community this whole time, and here’s to another 20 years!
