If you missed the original Kickstarter (no shade, I know I wasn't active on the tumbls when it was going on), you can still snag the PDF version of the anthology, and I ordered some extra physical copies to put up on Itch after they've gone out to backers!

Interior art by @khaled.a.khlifi, a table of narrative prompts for stuff that happens in some perfectly normal mountains, and a map generated during play—all from DETHRONERS, a game zine I made with Andy McAlpine, edited by @the_embley.

Seems fitting to kick off #ZineQuest3 with a week of cool RPG zines. Let’s start with my favorite from ZineQuest 2, A Visitor’s Guide to the Rainy City from @superheronecro. It is pure setting, no rules, no stats, just lots of evocative detail on the titular city where it does indeed rain every day, year round. This has required the residents to adapt in unusual ways – the rain only lightens up enough to allow the burning of fire for part of the year so there are many surprising culinary adaptations, for instance (alchemical boiling salts are a must). Instead of rats, the vermin of choice are oozes and slimes. There are also way more umbrellas than your usual fantasy RPG setting. In fact, the entire culture of the city is defined by dampness and (depending on your level of wealth) its avoidance. Oh, and there are pirates who live on a floating island made of bound together shipwrecks.

I guess you could call it whimsical, for lack of a better word. It gets into a neighborhood similar to Neil Gaiman’s or Susanna Clarke’s territory. There are light elements of steampunk. But it never becomes cloying or overwhelming. A lot of the appeal comes from @odhinnfist’s art, which somehow channels the aesthetics of both medieval woodcuts and Victorican engravings simultaneously. It strikes a balance similar to Planescape.

Which is appropriate, because the most interesting thing about the Rainy City is that it seems to A. Be at the center of all universes and B. Those other universes have started to collapse in on themselves. This has led to refugees from other world washing up at the Rainy City by the shipload, making a strange world significantly weirder. Which is saying something considering there are giant newt-drawn carriages driven by intelligent octopuses.

All told, an impressive feat of world building, in which much of the details of the world are rendered in inference and implication, rather than tediously spelled out. This results in multiple imagination-stoking ideas on every page. I dare you to read it and not start sketching out a possible campaign.

YOOOOOOOOO IT'S OUT IT'S OUT IT'S OUT IT'S OUT!!!!!

(For those not in the know, I Kickstarted a zine for ZineQuest3 back in February which collects three small GMless TTRPGs I've written into a single monster/horror-themed anthology. It has new art, a new layout, and I am floored by how good the team made it look. Please check it out!)

[strangeharpy]

So I know I didn't really push the Kickstarter for this here when it was going on, but we're now in a position where I feel comfortable opening pre-orders for the PDF of Creature Feature!

From the Itch page:

Originally funded through Kickstarter, Creature Feature is a #ZineQuest3 project composed of three separate games that could potentially be played together but also individually:

Things, Eldritch and Terrifying - a 2-player game about eldritch terrors and temptation.

What You Do in the Dark - a 2-player game about beings who find themselves in the dark together.

In Your Image - an asymmetrical creature-creation game for 2+ players.

You can check out the games' individual pages for more information, but the upshot of it is that these games all deal with monsters, identity, and sometimes horror. They can easily be played in concert to create a satisfying horror experience. For example, you could play In Your Image to create one or both of your characters for playing either of the other games, or you could play What You Do in the Dark as a scene in Things, Eldritch and Terrifying.

Of course, you don't have to do any of that. You can just enjoy each game by itself; they all stand on their own.

The zine features a brand new layout by Sasha Reneau with art by Sasha, Kasha Mika, Izze Sykes, and cover by Arpad Hervanek.

Anyway, I'm super stoked about how this is turning out, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!
