This is the website for Variable Pig games magazine, and its forthcoming successor, The Celestial Dragon.
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). Variable Pig is running down to a close, and when the Pig dies, the Dragon will be born.
