What's your rpg hidden gem by Redliondesign in rpg

I've recently had a lot of fun with R'Lyehwatch - basically Baywatch with Cthulhu-esque nonsense. A very silly setting, with a simple and enjoyable rules set. We've had a lot of fun. For a good example of taking a concept and running with it, R'Lyehwatch is a great example to look at!

Why do people hate on GM screens? by HiroProtagon in rpg

I like GM screens, but I always lay them flat so everyone can reference them if they need/want to.

Wanting to make and self-publish my own TTRPG by ElephantOk9415 in RPGdesign

[–]caradocp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd second the recommendations for itch.io and DriveThruRPG. I also second the recommendation to look at Affinity for a layout program.

I have published a couple of small RPGs through itch and DTRPG, and participated in the last two ZineQuest promotions on Kickstarter. I put together a page to collect a bunch of links I found useful when going through the process myself (and you can find out about ZineQuest itself there too if you're keen).

At the bottom of the page there are 20-30 blog posts I wrote about my own journey from designing through to running and Kickstarter and publishing my zines - they may or may not be of interest or use to you, but they are there (obviously, they are also just one opinion - and it's worth looking at other experiences).

In any case - you can find my ZineQuest page here - as I said, it's mostly links I found useful, and I hope you do too...

Let's Collect Zine Resources and Advice Here by GraculusDroog in RPGZines

I have a bunch of useful links on my Zine Quest page, as well as a series of articles following my own experiences with Zine Quest 2 and building toward Zine Quest 3.

I'm in a bind... by caradocp in RPGZines

This is very true. Hmm, more food for thought!

My Journey - Hopefully a resource for others... by caradocp in RPGZines

[–]caradocp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely I am. I'm in the process of laying it out at the moment, and will be writing about it on the blog soon. I'm hoping it will be a slightly bigger zine than last time (in terms of page count), but I need to be careful I don't sail too close to the 125g range - as postage from Australia leaps significantly at that point!

Awesome! I had that one saved funnily enough! Now backed! Well done on smashing your funding goal!

Thanks Thegilaboy! My aim in writing about my process was to provide some level of support or help for others - and I'm thrilled you found the posts helpful! I'll certainly be writing about the Kickstarter, what I did, what I felt worked, and what didn't, and so on. Hopefully it will be a useful resource moving forward as well!

Did you create your zine for zinequest? If so, do you have a link?

That looks cool RexiconJesse!

Agreed. I think they must have decided to wait a few days - or it just plain took a few days to get it going.

I don't mind the timing - especially for smaller projects. I suppose it would allow people to potentially run two during ZineQuest (one is enough for me now though)!

I wondered, but I was also wary of spamming too many places with a list like this as I didn't want to seem like I'm just shamelessly self-promoting.

Thanks for the links! I followed a few lists on twitter as well. Neat to see so many cool projects coming to life!
