I’m a long term gamer who started running games in the early 80’s, and I’m still passionate about this incredible hobby of ours.

A top-down view of Stonehenge with all stones in order and neatly arranged to make a completed circle with a pattern of additional stones placed in its center.

🪨 Sneak peek #6 🪨 writer @wazza70.bsky.social and cartographer Schlau (www.patreon.com/LiDGaming) bring an action-packed system-agnostic adventure involving Stonehenge in our upcoming indie #ttrpg zine The Quintessential Curios. Lucky you will get this map and loads more when you pick up your copy.

Main text says, Which would you rather play and why? a diceless tabletop RPG or a GMless tabletop RPG. In the upper left corner, the red, green, and purple tartan for Montgomery clan. In the bottom right corner, a set of seven polyhedral dice. In the backdrop, the faint image of a hedgehog.

A "would you rather" styled question we're curious to know how you'd all answer. Bonus points if you give examples of #ttRPGs so we can check them out.

Diceless. There’s the Amber TTRPG which uses an “auction” style game mechanic and several card-based RPGs such as Marvel Superheroes and Dragonlance from the 90’s. Marvel comics also released their own Marvel TTRPG in the early 2000;s which used stones rather than dice.

A meme where in the first panel an excited customer talks at great length about their upcoming indie tabletop roleplaying game zine. In the second panel, an employee at a popular fast-food chain flatly replies, "Sir, this is a Wendy's."

A castle sits on a hilltop in the backdrop of a cloaked figure with a spear and a shield posed ready to fight a skeleton warrior armed with a loaded crossbow.

Our zine aims to hit that sweet spot.

Being both a useful set of supplements for gamers looking for plug and play content.

But also, enjoyable casual reading. Something to sit, read, and enjoy.

We can’t wait to start sharing snippets.

#Indiettrpg question:

What are you looking for in a community?

We want a space to talk to like-minded people that’s big enough to feel full of expertise, but cosy enough that you know the people you are chatting to.

How do we build that? Does it exist? Where?

Rules can provide structure and consistency which most players want. I always liked the +2/-2 rule, a good situation the former and a bad situation the later. Simple.

Today's cosy 🦔 #ttrpg take is that your favourite system isn't perfect, you're just super attached to it because you have lots of nostalgic memories attached to it.

And that's great! It means that you can play amazing games with your friends, but it also means there's cool new stuff out there!

We’re working on creating our very own Zine!

Chock full of everything that the #IndieTTRPG scene loves.

All going well, this will be a regular thing.

We can’t wait to showcase some authors you’ve never heard of, as well as some you probably have!

AD&D 1st edition for me, clunky and sublime in equal measure!

I have tried “mind maps” but I work better in a free-form environment. That way I can’t be restricted in my concept.

I go for a walk and let ideas pop into my head, immediately write them in notes on my iPhone and transfer them my laptop to work in. I tend to work better first thing in the morning.
