Harris Zine Poll: 1991 19th; 1992 14th; 1993 24th; 1994 18th; 1995 24th; 1996 18th; 1999 =15th
After a bit of a
false start when the zine was called Blood & Iron, but then
changed to Borealis when it was pointed out that Lew
Pulsipher had already used that name, Borealis soon settled
down to the "small, friendly and irregular" label which has dogged
it ever since. The "Toolbox" section of the zine, where people
discuss odd ideas for variants or even new concepts for whole games
is an original touch. It's remained a small circulation zine, but
with an intimate feel to it and Ian has a talent for writing
entertainingly about everyday life.
