An unashamed 'hardware' zine produced by Paul Evans and others in the 1980s, as part of the UK fandom boom. What Balrog Banter lacked in style was made up for in enthuisiasm and reams of content. Balrog Banter's unique selling point was a separate scenario supplement with each issue, usually a generic encounter adaptable to various current RPGs.
'Hardware' was fandom-speak for new monsters, classes, skills, reviews and letters.
