Check Out These Zines!
We are well into Zine Month / Zine Quest / Zinetopia . . . and I have two friends whose projects are close to funding! I'm excited about both of these projects and have personally backed them – and I thought I'd plug them here and hope that some of our lovely RPG-inclined readers will help push them over that finish line.
On Call by VJH Creations on BackerKit
You're a werewolf, and the full moon is coming up – but this month, your shift looks a little different. You won't be shifting into your wolf form; you'll be taking an on-call shift to deal with other werewolves' problems! This is a game for a GM and one to two players. The game's completely written; this crowdfunding project will cover editing, layout, and art.
VJ is an inventive designer, an outspoken voice for justice in the TTRPG space, and a really funny guy. I'm excited to play their game!
The Crypt Has Opened by When Suddenly! Games on Kickstarter
In this campy comic-inspired horror game, you'll create a town and then protect it from the denizens of the Crypt – Cryptids, naturally – as they come for everything you love. You'll create unique spells in the free-form magic system as you encounter a host of blood-curdling cryptids. This game is ready to go to print; the project is going to cover the physical production of the game book and, hopefully, physical adventures and Cryptid Cards.
Jeffrey is a phenomenal artist, and this game and setting look like a perfect application of his signature style. I am curious about the mechanics and can't wait to try them out!
