Editing Alarums and Excursions (section)

==Reception==
In the February 1976 issue of ''[[Strategic Review]]'' (Issue 6), [[Gary Gygax]] complimented the new APA, calling it "an excellent source of ideas, inspirations and fun." Although Gygax felt some of the contributors were "woefully lacking in background", and the quality of printing varied dramatically from issue to issue, he concluded, "For all of its faults, it is far and away the best ''D&D'' '[[zine]], and well worth reading. See for yourself why it rates a Major Triumph."<ref name=sr>{{cite journal|last=Gygax|first=Gary|author-link=Gary Gygax| date=February 1976 |title=Triumphs and Tragedies|journal=[[Strategic Review]]|publisher=[[TSR (company)|TSR, Inc.]]|issue=6|pages=15}}</ref>

In the June 1981 edition of ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' (Issue #50), [[Dave Nalle]] reviewed ''Alarums and Excursions'' after its 63rd issue (November 1980), and although he found the writing style "a bit stuffy", with a "tendency for the writers to pat each other on the back", he still called it "the top APA publication... This is a very well run APA and features many of the leading thinkers in fantasy gaming."<ref name=dragon>{{cite journal|last=Nalle|first=Dave|author-link=Dave Nalle| date=June 1981 |title=The 'Zines!|journal=[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]|publisher=[[TSR (company)|TSR, Inc.]]|issue=50|pages=24}}</ref>
