Roleplay Friday - Let’s Look At Zine Quest 2021

The roleplaying world is becoming more and more accessible, but many gamers still maintain an outdated view of how much investment is required to try out roleplaying. It’s very likely that, with the many thematic board games that have come out in recent years, most of the tabletop community has roleplayed to some extent even if they weren’t aware of it.


The third annual Zine Quest is active right now on Kickstarter, which enables indie RPG creators and publishers to showcase their passion projects and immersive TTRPG narratives.

Creators are challenged to bring to life new worlds and adventures for backers. Throughout the month of February, backers will be able to explore and support two-week campaigns comprised of single-color unbound, folded, stapled, or saddle-stitched RPG zines on A5 or smaller paper.

The platform is going to be promoting different projects, but feel free to wade into the deep end and explore all of the live campaigns on your own.

Here are some of the most appealing to me so far!






Be sure to keep digging, though, because there are a ton of great projects out there and anyone can find something to love.

Before I leave, though, I have one last project to plug. The MFA-heart in me started thumping when I saw this and I really want it to fully fund so that I can sit down and enjoy reading it one day in the future.

So be sure to go check out the project link above. I’m sure it will be an insightful and absorbing read from the diverse panel of writers that will feature in the magazine.

Other than that, start looking to find the RPG experience that works for you!
