In February, amid the buzz of numerous PC game releases, one tradition shouldn’t be overlooked: ZineQuest. This event is dedicated to independent tabletop RPG creators who launch quick, unique projects on Kickstarter - from adventures and supplements to entire games.

The energy is flea market-like and DIY, resulting in incredible and sometimes odd ideas that might otherwise remain hidden in the hobby. It’s an excellent chance to discover new material for your gaming shelf without spending a fortune.

Finding the right project can be overwhelming with so many options. That’s why I’m here to help. Similar to my recommendations last year, I have sifted through the myriad of offerings to bring you some standout choices across various styles and genres. Let’s uncover your next beloved zine!
