Dead Internet Theory is a Cy_borg adventure module that pits pvnks against an eldritch cult festering at the heart of a megachurch financial institution. Promises of digital rapture are betrayed by reports of disturbing fates met by unlucky customers.

Coming soon to Zinetopia!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Just released the 2nd version of my set of hex tiles based on paintings from The Met Collection.

This version brings the number of tiles from 6 to 44 and includes bangers such as ocean tiles, making it usable to create real maps for the first time.

Thanks for the help documenting this stuff! As cozy as #ZineMonth can be, I think it's important to remember it started as a direct attempt to help free small creators from feeling obligated to fund on Kickstarter and expand the options available for taking a zine from "written" to "produced."
I posted a short narrative by @jayembosch.bsky.social on the origins of Zine Month and the different February zine funding events that are now an annual tradition in the #TTRPG hobby space. It's mostly his account, but I did a bit of further research and recollection to round it out.

Since DCC adventure design is in the discourse, I just adapted a few thousand word dungeon from Doom of the Savage Kings to a few hundred in my Eco Mofos module Nomads of the Weird Ocean. Things can be servicable in much fewer words, buts its also very up to personal taste

Some notes about how I write TTRPG adventures:

My texts tend to be terse. A location described in two lines; a single spoken sentence to describe a character.

The aim is *not* to be laconic, but to mirror the pace of natural dialogue; a TTRPG is a conversation between players, after all!
