Through The Static: A The Adventure Zone: Balance Zine

This 181 paged zine is a free and digital collection of works that celebrate the Balance Arc of the Adventure Zone. This zine is not in any way affiliated with the McElroy Brothers. It is compromised of 51 creators who lent their talent and skill to ensure that this dream became a reality. 

Through The Static is and will forever be dedicated to Leona, a contributor who passed away during our formatting period. They were a light amidst the dark and font of inspiration who will truly be missed. In the charity section of this description, the charity preceded by an asterisk "*" is Leona's chosen charity and one that was near to their heart. We encourage you to donate to it and/or the others listed in lieu of payment for this zine.
