ADRP Magazines

I'm curious about what magazines with an Amber focus have been published.

I have all 12 of the issues of Amberzine, and clearly this is the flagship periodical for ADRP.

I know that there were two other fan-driven Amber fanzines years ago:
(1) Trump Call -- I believe there were six issues (which I owned at one point, then lost in a basement tragedy)
(2) Shadow Eclipse – At least three issues, none of which I've ever seen.

I know that there are several magazines with interviews or reviews (Dragon reviewed ADRP, Journeys #1 and #2 have interviews, etc) but I'm thinking of magazines designed to focus on ADRP instead of ones with one-shot articles.

Troll & Toad (used game store) advertises Panzerschreck magazine as having an Amber Diceless connection, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what it might be since it looks more like a WWII wargaming magazine.

Are there any I've missed?

I co-published Trump Call with Cort Odekirk. The little Trump banner on the cover of the last few issues was my art. Cort threw in the towel with the sixth issue when Erick castigated him on the phone for including an article about card-based character generation. I think the phrase "it's a betrayal of everything Amber is about" was used.

Ah... memories.

Hellrider was a UK fanzine. It was very slick and much nicer than ours. I know they got at least three issues done. I may have copies still, but do not have ready access to them.

David Kubanek did Shadow Eclipse, if I recall correctly. It was a letter-sized, stapled-on-the-side sort of zine. As above, they're with my other Amber-related fanzines.

It's a shame that this stuff has pretty much vanished. It would be nice to get ahold of issues of those magazines. :(
