This is the website for Variable Pig games magazine.
Variable Pig is an amateur zine that has been running for many years and covers a wide variety of postal games. It's issued free, 6-8 times a year, as a PDF file (typically 48-64 pages).
This site holds back issues going back 20+ years in pdf format. Files are typically around 2MB in size and have bookmarks for quick navigation.
