Avast me hearties, look what appeared today in my mailbox! I do love a crowdfunding campaign with a very fast turnaround!
Less than 24 hours left in project! Thank you everybody for the support so far!

I've done basically no posting about zine month but here are some cool games that are being itchfunded
1. Roguelike Megadungeon
Randomly generate a megadungeon. Has some pretty cool icons for tiles. Has the option of PoD copies.
I just backed Blades of Gixa by @quadra (check their account for examples of this dungeon)

Ihr habt noch bis heute um 23:59 Uhr Zeit, die englische Ausgabe von Catcrawl (ein Erkundungsspiel über eine Katze in einem neuen Zuhause für 1-4 Spielende) zu unterstützen.
Anyone launching a new ZineQuest or ZineMonth project, I need it to end after March 15th, when my gaming budget resets! I've already maxed this month's out!
We're halfway through the campaign for my weird Wikipedia wizards RPG zine! Huge thanks to everyone who has backed so far.
Here's a peek at a few (work in progress) pages.

Wolden, my forest RPG of wayward cults, is now live on Kickstarter, as part of #zinequest - check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mottokrosh/woldena-forest-rpg-of-wayward-cults #ttrpg #rpg #indierpg #zimo #zinemonth #woldenrpg #osr #nsr
Less than 2 weeks left on our #ZineMonth project, Vapid Venus Ventures! A solo journaling game about terraforming Venus and the downtime between missions.
We are fully funded, but the more we make, the bigger our initial print run can be! Here's another little art sneak peak. We're still on track to have this released March 2025, and might even have copies ready in time for GameFace Con (March 8-9 in Baltimore)!
Some photos of the originals for Strang Beorn. We have 9 places left on our original art tier.
I really wish I had the funds to back every single ZineQuest or ZineMonth TTRPG offering that I've found interesting...
Next one on my list is a strange game about tourists lost

For health reasons, I'm not great at telling everyone about the crowdfunding for Catcrawl these days.
If you feel like helping me out, please let people know they can support this solo/GM-less exploration game for another 9 days over here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/plotbunny-games/catcrawl-an-exploration-game-about-a-cat-in-a-new-home?ref=mstdn
I just backed No Mercy for Monsters. It's my first #ZineMonth #ZineQuest of the year.
Getting back to Wretched and Alone? Yeah, I'm in!
Another cool project this Zine Month is Griot anthology
"Utilizing the powerful medium of roleplay, this anthology holds space for intersectional blackness in the past, present and future, giving us the opportunities to tell our own unique stories and share our unique perspectives."
#ZineMonth is cool, but I worry that the way we blur the lines between hobbyist zine-making and semi-professional publishing might intimidate a lot of people out of participating. Which is a shame since, as far as I'm concerned, getting first-timers to try making their own #TTRPG materials is one of the best arguments for ZiMo in the first place.
Maybe we need a more stubbornly lo-fi spin-off, like foldy zines, to welcome in the hesitant new folks. We can call it #FoldyFebruary
Well I just backed four more #ZineMonth campaigns. What can I say? There's just that many good ones this year.
- Mission: ImPAWsible (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spaceaces/mission-impawsible-deluxe-box-set)
- A Song For A Serpent King (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ellalim/a-song-for-a-serpent-king-a-solo-rpg)
- A Perfect Rock (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deepdarkgames/a-perfect-rock)
- The Crawling Chaos (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/planetsmashergames/the-crawling-chaos)
I just backed Tail-End Charlie by @PlaneSailingGames. A historical solo game where you play the tail gunner of an Avro Lancaster during WW2. The odds are historically accurate and not in your favor!
