A few of these aren't out of the oven yet, but they will be this year.
Meanwhile, be sure to ask your FLGS to help you fill in any gaps in your collection.

Explore Dungeons (Zine)
EDZ #1 is in its 3rd printing.
#2 & #3 are in 2nd printing.
#4 & #5 come out this year.
Rather than more printings of single issues, I'm thinking of an omnibus in 2027 w/ #1-5 + some bonus content.
Orrrr should I do a mega book and include our 5e, MB. and other zines too?

ok ok, for real. we are TWO DOLLARS away from hitting $4K on our Zinetopia project and and and my OCD is in full blown overdrive. Somebody help me out here. Please.
Whoever pushes me over $4k gets a cool sticker, my eternal gratitude, and if I see you at DungeonCon, I'll throw in a crisp high-five.

The Heroic Adventure! Evil Never Dies Poster Map Packs are officially SOLD OUT.
I'm out, the warehouse is out. Your FLGS may have one, or their distributor might, but once those are gone, that's it.
If there is sufficient demand, we *might* do another printing, but it could be a while.
ONLY FOUR (4) DAYS LEFT...
All Stretch Goals UNLOCKED!
Explore Dungeons #4 & #5
sMörkåsBorg #2
Tales from the Tower #2
Deep Zine
+ back issues!

If your FLGS has any copies of Meeple Monthly #155 (Feb 2026) be sure to pick one up. There's a great article about KINLESS in it.
And after you read it, send it to me and I'll happily cover US postage. I need a couple copies. Thanks!
cover pic for easy identification!
Wow! If i had any more stretch goals, we would have just hit them too.
Thank you everyone for a great campaign. There's still 10 days left, but everything is unlocked, meaning FIVE new zines this year.
Like the man says... Woooooo!
Barbarian right now because it's my fave.

Wow! At some point while I was asleep, you guys blew through the 3rd stretch goal (Deep Zine) and are over halfway to the 4th and final(?) stretch goal: Explore Dungeons Zine #5!
You've funded EDZ4 and unlocked sMörkåsBorg 2, Tales from the Tower 2, and Deep Zine with ~ $155 remaining on EDZ5.
Stretch Goal #4 is Explore Dungeons #5!
The overall theme of this issue is post-apocalyptic science-fantasy and features content usable in games like Gamma World, Metamorphosis Alpha, Neon Lords, Mutant Crawl Classics, Umerica, Barbarians of the Ruined Earth, and more.

You unlocked the Tower. That's incredible!
That means we've funded Explore Dungeons #4, sMörkåsBorg #2, and Tales from the Tower #2.
Now we're working on unlocking stretch goal #3: DEEP ZINE (our Deep Space / Deep Magic fanzine)
It also means we've announced our Super Secret Stretch Goal!
What's your favorite cozy/cosy TTRPG? It's not a genre I've explored before.

We're 93.8% into the Tower. We're so close. I alsmost feel like you guys are just messing with me at this point, like "let's see how bad he wants it..."
$31.00 <-- That's what is keeping us from unlocking Tales from the Tower #2.
I'm adding stickers to all physical pledges when we hit this goal.
Having a great time playing DCC RPG with @bryanspellman.bsky.social on #DCCDemoDay!
My wizard Tim just accidentally frosted most of the party and took out the lights. Heh... oops.
1 more day of FREE DCC sessions tomorrow. Did I mention it's FREE? Because it's FREE.

My obligatory post on Explore Dungeons Zine #4 (plus more)
EDZ #4 is funded.
sMörkåsBorg #2 is funded.
Tales from the Tower #2 is ~$60 from funding.
Even if we don't hit ANY OTHER STRETCH GOALS, I really really really want to hit this one. We have great stuff planned and we're so close!
What are y'all playing this weekend?
Have you checked out DCC Demo Con?
tabletop.events/conventions/...
It's THREE DAYS of online, free, and fun DCC RPG gaming sessions, geared specifically for newbies, but still fun for fogies.

Thank you Bryan! Can't wait to throw some dice with you soon.
