PLA Newsletter

Phoneloser Monthly is a newsletter that is printed every few months/years/days by your friends at PLA. It’s the most useless thing you could possibly hope to read. There is no official format for Phoneloser Monthly and there is no strict schedule for releasing each issue. Originally the issues contained multiple pages filled with games and crossword puzzles, but lately it’s turned into a bunch of updates about Patreon. That sounds fun, right??
