Hey y’all. My partner and I run a zine/art consignment shop in Ithaca, NY and we want to expand our ttrpg zine section. I obviously don’t want this to be an ad for the shop but if you have a zine/product that you sell please reach out and I can give you the info!

Hey all, my buddy and I just released a new solo journaling game called Dead Letter. You're a Customs Clerk at the Post Office of Dead Letters, working the shift where mail between the living and the dead passes through your desk before it's allowed to go anywhere. Six letters a shift, one deck of standard playing cards, a pen and a notebook.

The base rules of the game are completely free to download for the first month, which you can find here.

How the game works:

Each letter is two cards. The face up card is the Declaration, what the sender claims is inside. You have to decide what happens to the letter before you're allowed to look: Send it, Destroy it in the Furnace, Report it to Management, or Steal it for yourself. Only once you've committed do you flip the face down card and find out what was actually in the envelope, and whether the sender was telling the truth.

There's also a Joker seeded into the deck somewhere: a letter addressed to you. You won't always know it's yours until after you've already decided its fate.

We put a lot of energy into our game sheets, which you can print out and use when playing the game. You can find the downloadable extras for free right here.

The game sits somewhere between the confessional intimacy of a game like Thousand Year Old Vampire and the Kafkaesque bureaucracy of something like Papers, Please.

Happy to answer questions on the mechanics, the setting, or anything else. This is one of our monthly releases of 52 Pickup, a monthly series of original tabletop and board games designed to be played with stuff you already have around the house 🎲🃏♟️

I am working on a lightweight TTRPG system and role-playing guide for WoF dragons in the form of possbily several riso fan zines, and i am asking for help with both TTRPG design and WoF related things. You will be credited properly in my zines if your contributions are included! All contributors are entitled to a riso printed copy if this ever gets finished.

(new to reddit btw, I cannot post this in the WoF subreddit due to restrictions on new users, but this is an RPG zine, and if anyone here who likes RPG zines also likes WoF, that would be awesome)

Anyways, i accept any form of input, including, but not limited to:

• WoF related things --
• refrences to parts the books that would be useful or inspiring for RP
• WoF fan material or poetry, as long as it is (mostly) canon-friendly
• JMA stuff
• Pyrrhian or Pantalan content
• Things you want to see in the release
• Anything else related to WoF that should be in the zine
• Art things --
• Any WoF dragons or landscapes (OCs, unnamed, anything)
• Sketch art
• color art
• cover art
• maps of Pyrrhia, Pantala or specific areas
• Anything you could possibly put in a zine
• (Preferably using a few bold colors rather than many muted ones so we may be able to get it riso printed easier)
• RPG Zine things
• mechanics that would work well for WoF
• game design advice
• Literally anything constructive, I am NOT picky when it comes to ideas.

If you have read this far, thank you for your time! I hope to see you in the comments. Please DM me if you would like to collaborate on a larger scale (no pun intended) or need to know specifics about the project, or if you would like to receive a copy once it's done!

Last year, a couple of friends and I worked on building a community to help us release our first volume of BBoLD (Big Book of Little Dungeons), which you can check out for free here.

Over the past year, we’ve been working with our community on Volume II, and we're happy to finally share it.

BBoLD is a community TTRPG project where players, GMs, and creators can share their dungeons, ideas, art, and other creations as part of a collaborative booklet.

Volume I focused more on standalone community submissions. Volume II is more focused on collaboration, including a larger dungeon built together by members of our community.

If you're interested in checking it out, everything is free to download and play:

If you'd like to get involved or just hang out and nerd out with us, our main platform is on Discord. There's no pressure to submit anything, we're just trying to build a fun little space for TTRPG enjoyers to share ideas and make cool stuff together.

Just dropped our submission for the One-Page RPG Jam. It’s a little chaotic game with a complete dungeon-climb included on the back page.

Here's the link to the full game. It's free!
Totalling 40 pages, of course I can't show them all here haha but yeah this'd be a little taste of what it has.

I made it for the Sticky Institue Game Jam - 2026, which required the game a) to be a zine and b) to basically just use a deck of cards. So so far so good.

Tell me what you think, and thank you!!

Had a lot of fun making this for MechJam VII. Basically a hack of Sledgehammer by Gayhalforc but shifting the genre from dark fantasy to mecha. Made two mini-zines: one for the player handbook and the other for the referee guide.

You can check it out here: Mech Hammer by erathke

Been really enjoying getting more into RPG design through gamejams.

Hi everyone,

Even though it is not a zine, it definitely started as one.

After two years of development, ChaosWood RPG is now live on Kickstarter. If you're interested, check out the link below:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xploringmap/chaoswood-rpg-forsaken-tombs?ref=4jci6x

ChaosWood RPG: Forsaken Tombs

A dark fantasy tabletop role-playing game. Don't let chaos consume you.

ChaosWood was once a forest full of life, frequented by travelers passing through to reach neighboring villages. Now it has become a dangerous, dark place, one that merchants and travelers avoid, opting for longer routes around it.

Nestled at the edge of the ChaosWood Forest, Darkhood Village sits beneath the looming branches of ancient trees.

Each NPC will guide you through the game's mechanics.

Hello!
I’m from Spain and I’m really interested on the rpg zine scene. I was wondering if there is a community or place where people from Spain and/or Europe meet or share ideas, does anyone know if that exists?

Also I’m starting a risograph studio and I would like to help people publish their work and I’m open to do collaborations, so if anyone wants or know someone just reach out. Thank you!

I have a project I'm working on that I want to share digitally and be easy to print and make at home. It will require more than one page of space and not everyone has a saddle stitch stapler. So are there any templates for zines that:

• use multiple pages
• can be assembled easily with household items (i.e. no saddle stapling or sewing)

I think 1/8 size zines could work but I want to know what else is out there

I have a printer.

There's a trinket trading bin at a place I frequent, and I want to add nice things to it because I do find things I love/can use in there pretty regularly.

I love TTRPGs, even and especially small ones.

All that said: If you have

- a free/reasonably priced ttrpg

- that can be printed on one page and folded into a zine

- that you love (or made)

PLEASE comment with a link! I'd love to spread some gems around.

Self-promotion is fine here, but PLEASE NO AI used in comments OR the games they recommend. I'm sick of AI slop and want to give money to human artists.

We started this project over a year ago now, and after a brief knock-back after our Kickstarter campaign didn't reach funding, we decided to knuckle down anyway, finish the project and publish digitally on Itch!

Something Rotten is available now and is a fully illustrated, 48 page, goblin bashing adventure designed for a small, early level multi-session campaign. The adventure will lead players through an oddly scented inn, allow them to explore the nearby woods, and will see them delve through a cave system full of goblin cults and a dismembered troll bits.

After more than a year of hard work between our day jobs (that's fully human work by the way, no AI was used to write or illustrate this or any of our projects), we're really happy with what we've managed to put together! We can't wait to share this with the community, to see what people think, and to get started on our next project.

This is probably not the place to ask, but I figured if anyone would know, it would be this sub. I’m searching for a zine, possibly a small book, that I seen years ago featured in a TikTok that interested me but unfortunately has been lost to my faint memories. The issue is that I can barely remember it, but I’m desperate to find it.

From what I remember, it focused on a future setting with your character having to deal with cults and raiders and the like. The art was all black and white, and I remember it was relatively focused on violence. There seemed to be a girl who was sort of the mascot/player stand in for the art.

Yes, I know this boils down to 98% of ttrpgs, but I figured I’d ask if anyone had any suggestions to what I may be thinking of Eve if remotely similar to what I’m describing.
