The massive organ (fnarr!) originally started in 1984 as the local scandal-rag, Das The Routier. It became The National Routier with the establishment of the Victorian file in Winter 1994. It soon gained overseas notoriety in the Home Counties and the Americas, becoming The International Routier in spring 1997. A brief experiment with The Intergalactic Routier unfortunately exploded on the launch pad in 2008. One issue survived the detonation, problems exist with typography and pagination and the resulting time vortex set the date on the cover a year earlier than it should be but at least it has its heart in the right place. Also its spleen.
See also The International Routier – the Blog, last spotted in the wild in 2012.
Other publications include two editions of The Routier Cyclopedia, The Compleat Routier Song Book, The Routier Gaming Manual and The Reverend, hys Bigge Book of Leather, this last one developing a life of its own and spawning a blog.
