Introducing... Bit 'o Ur

Bit 'o Ur is a fantastic little zine printed on fine paper gathered, by hand, from the ancestral lands. Each edition contains a handful of headlines & links to images celebrating the fun, the wacky, the hidden, and not-so-hidden goings on in Ur. 

They will be published regularly and available to all through the fine Glitch Auction House. Each copy will come stamped with edition and print number -- start your collection today! 

And, please, get involved! If you happen to see a wacky something happening in Ur, be sure to snap a picture and send it our way!

Thanks!

  • This is such a great thing!  I love me some zines!  

    Any tips for how to follow the links?  I'm running Chrome and can't seem to copy and paste.

  • I have a request...

    Can I get a subscription instead of going to the auction? I'd like to have copy #11 regularly. :3

  • Ah! Great question Circe. We should probably include that info in later editions. Clicking control-c (or command-c on mac) will copy them for you. Then just paste them wherever, however (mouse or control-v/command-v).

    And I'm not sure about subscriptions -- I dunno how to best automate that or make it so it wouldn't get accidentally lost/forgotten. We'll ponder that, though.

  • Fun stuff! Smart use of both paper and the auction system. I'll definitely get a copy, even if it's just to support the idea ;)

    All the other ones that I didn't reply, ty for the awesome feedback, we are really happy with it ;D

  • Wow! When we did this, I thought we might sell 25 or 30. Maybe. 50 would have been surprising. 150? No way! 

    Well, we did, and we know some folks who are dying to get their hands on a copy so arizoo's printed up some more. You can find them here

    Thank you all for your wonderful feedback. It's been loads of fun and we're thrilled you all like it :)

  • I bought one, and then was pulled away by real life for a while, so it was a nice semi-surprise to find it in my mailbox when I got back to the game! I still haven't checked everything out yet, but I heartily approve of the idea. :)

  • Great idea! Thanks for making more copies!

  • I'm in love with this post, I just keep coming back to it, every now and then, I never thought it would be like this, we had more than 130 members in just 3 days after making the group public and amazing people have bought it in auction, I mean, really amazing people ;) ty for that. Some people do blogs/websites, etc.. we just thought about creating something special for glitch, something that we could have fun doing it and at same time didn't felt like work at all, this is how bit o' Ur born ;)

    Have fun glitches!
