Thrilled speak to Forbes about the origins of the mag, the challenges of working on APWOT part-time for nearly a decade, and my hopes for the future. 📚

"APWOT is arguably the best example of print media celebrating the industry."

How ‘APWOT’, The Most Beautiful Gaming Journal, Made Its Annual Release An Event

'A Profound Waste of Time' has set an incredibly high bar for printed gaming media, even if only four issues have been produced in ten years.

'Interact as a colleague not as a fan' was salient advice I received very early on in my career.

Bertine van Hövell @baroness.bsky.social · Jul 23

My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart

If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.

APWOT is generally some of the best games-related publications you can get. Absolutely worth it, incredible writing and art, and after being the coffee table book for some time, they're so pretty that they retire to a place of honour in my book cabinet for future reference.

Omg I'd love that! Maybe I'll get some practice in.

I love my cat.

Woman (in a red skirt, white petticoat and large jeans jacket) and a black cat in a sun kissed and lusciously flowering garden. They're both standing, the woman looking down at the cat and the cat, tail up, looking up at the woman.
