Liked the look of this one, recommended by Idle Cartulary in their excellent newsletter. Use irl books you have lying around to cast spells in the game

Speaking of Nova, she has a project launching next month as well. I really liked her last adventure, The Curse of Mizzling Grove, so I’m excited to read more about Sharky. She’s collaborating with a cool animator for the art, and it’s set in the same world as Mizzling Grove.

Another campaign I’m excited by is Quadra’s The Blades of Gixa: A Mega Dungeon. They made Warped Beyond Recognition, which is one of the more ambitious 3rd party Mothership modules. And while their design hacks and mini-systems have been exclusively for Mothership, they’re really good—which makes me think they’re going to have the same attention to detail and tastes for this even if it’s super artsy and Not-Mothership.

Edit: Confused Nirvana on Fire by D. Kenny with Warped Beyond Recognition. Both are really good.

Every year I fumble on Quest/Month randomly. Maybe I can prepare myself this year. What are the dates?

Now up on Kickstarter!

Zinequest newbie here so this is my first time properly and on time getting to witness all the stuff but:
How do you people go about finding stuff for zinequest?

  1. some have the hashtag, but other than that?
  2. how do you discern some “good” and interesting stuff? Do you go by known authors? Or is it just a hit and miss thing, what are good signposts on the campaign site? No-Go’s and good practice?

Sorry for overflowing with questions

So far interesting stuff I found:
-Isle of the Ancients
-Quest for Zines
-Selene Oscure

Little correction: Nirvana on Fire was made by David Kenny, also the author of Dying Hard on Hardlight Station. Quadra made Warped Beyond Recognition, which is also rad af.

Another find: Mill of the Twelve Dead

The map and layout look promising and a lot like OSE/Merry Mushmen/Brad’s Stuff which are my favourite at the moment.

And the whole print at cost thing trough Drivethru and Lulu makes it really accessible internationaly! :heart_eyes:

You are correct! I remember seeing and reading both of those at the same time and must have swapped authors.
