Can you survive in this weird fantasy world? This is the story of a project iterating and increasing its fanbase with each pass. Introduced as a [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/472/kismet-games/category/51098/rustwater?affiliate_id=814082']PDF in 2024[/URL], physical copies were printed for [B]Pax Unplugged[/B] and, through encouragement, the quickstart is going for a physical print run via this campaign. If it succeeds, it’ll lead to a full game. [B]Kismet Games[/B] is building an audience by starting small to let those that would be interested in a post-apocalypse OSR that this one is coming. If you want to sample this game, check out the campaign page for more details.

I want to highlight just a few of the many great zines that are available. [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreaming-robot/they-burned-the-books'][B][I]THEY BURNED THE BOOKS[/I][/B][/URL] from [B]Dreaming Robot[/B] ends on March 3, 2025. Reading is banned, which hurts society, but mages most of all. As mages, players fight against illiteracy using a real world book that they’ll read and destroy as they use the printed words to craft their spells. The game takes ideas from [B][I]Fahrenheit 451[/I][/B] mixed with crafting roleplaying as you destroy print to save reading. [*][URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/periaptgames/wiki-articles-are-wizards-citation-needed'][B][I]Wiki Articles Are Wizards [citation needed][/I][/B][/URL] from [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/22262/periapt-games?affiliate_id=814082'][B]Periapt Games[/B][/URL] ends on February 28, 2025. Don’t want to damage a book? Then this might be more to your liking. Play as a wizard generated from poorly sourced [B]Wikipedia[/B] articles. Using the article, you’ll shape your wizard and battle the other players using the random content you’ll find on any wiki platform.

Keeping with the literary theme, in this game you play as William Shakespeare’s fictional, and fictionally dead, characters. Your goal? Revenge against The Bard that wrote your death. You’re working to take down the opening show of his latest play, that’ll teach The Bard.

This project is an homage to [B][I]Starship Troopers,[/I][/B] the Robert A. Heinlein version not Paul Verhoeven’s film. You’ll get rules to modify your [B][I]Mothership[/I][/B] campaign to make it feel more like [B][I]Starship Troopers, Helldivers 2,[/I][/B] and [B][I]Halo[/I][/B]. If you’re a fan of [URL='https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147360537/Starship-Troopers-RPG-Pocket-Edition?awid=1030'][B]Mongoose Publishing’s[/B][/URL][URL='https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147360537/Starship-Troopers-RPG-Pocket-Edition?awid=1030'] early 2000s official RPG[/URL], but want to use the [B][I]Mothership[/I][/B] d100 ruleset, this may be for you.

In this zine about zines, Philip Reed interviews a variety of zine creators including myself (Disclaimer). The interviews range from designer and publisher advice to talk about the industry and upcoming projects. If you’re a fan of RPG zines, this is a neat look at the state of RPG zines in 2025.
