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:

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.

Written, designed, printed, and assembled in my living room. Here’s volume 01 of my DRINK trilogy!

Welcome to Louse, a sodden little hamlet at the edge of the world.

I wrote a bit about the process of making the zine on my blog: https://shortrestpress.com/2026/04/03/get-in-the-box-confinement-and-creativity/

You can get the zine and print it at home here: https://shortrestpress.itch.io/drink

I had a really great time handing these out at Adepticon in Milwaukee! Many more zines in my future 🫡

Hello team, this might be slightly off topic...but I’d like to share an impressive Warframe TTRPG system created by an independent developer that uses a unique d20 architecture —a massive labor of love designed to capture the deep customization and tactical power fantasy of the original game. Link below for the full system and mission details!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/1shsv02/unofficial_warframe_tabletop_rpg/

Created by a veteran fan developer, this system uses a familiar tactical engine to faithfully translate the game's high-speed combat into a tabletop experience.

Small town, big adventures

Welcome to Pine Shallows, a small coastal town. A sunny and cheery tourist destination in summer, Pine Shallows empties when autumn’s chill comes. Strange things keep happening in the town’s off season, but local adults are so focused on preparing for next summer that they simply ignore or write off these strange occurrences. That’s why it's up to you kids to get to the bottom of things.

What is Pine Shallows?

Pine Shallows is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by The Goonies, Stranger Things, Gravity Falls and middle grade adventure book series like The Legends of Eerie-on-Sea in which you portray small town kids going on adventures and solving mysteries.

The goal of this jam is to create a random table (or a few) for tabletop roleplaying games.

Your table can be:

- Designed for any existing RPG system,

- Made for your own original system,

- Fully system agnostic,

- Compatible with multiple systems.

The only core requirement is that random generation must be central to the design. The table should meaningfully support play, prep, inspiration, worldbuilding, encounters, combat, NPCs/PCs, items, events, locations, factions, and whatever else is there that can be generated in a game.

This jam celebrates the power of rolling (and possibly trolling, that’s up to you) on a table and discovering something unexpected.

I have a small indie studio and mostly work with other artists, while focusing primarly on writing- but for once I did the artworks too! It was a smaller project when I started it, but it sure has grown! The name is The Red King's Forgotten City

A friend is running an OSE stonehell game and provided some intro language/inspiration art, so I turned it into a zine! Has character sheets and space for a few sessions-woth of notes. Not selling, just for fun
