Tales of the Reaching Moon was a British fanzine dedicated to the fantasy world of Glorantha and producing material for fantasy role-playing games.
Publication history[]
When UK fanzine Pavic Tales, the first notable Glorantha fanzine, ended after issue #9 (Spring 1989), Tales of the Reaching Moon (20 issues, 1989-2002) from British fan organization Reaching Moon Megacorp was the next major fanzine for Glorantha. Reaching Moon Megacorp closed with the publication of Tales of the Reaching Moon #20 (2002).[1]: 224–225 [2]: 56, 58
The editor, David Hall, published 20 issues from 1989 to 2002 (2/yr until 1994, then annually).
