Looking for something new, weird and indie? We’ve got you covered
Zinequest is the yearly game zine creating event on Kickstarter that works as a hotbed of cool new roleplaying game ideas. It’s a great place to pick up your next setting, one shot, or the game you’re going to play for the rest of your life.

By Anna Blackwell
A comedy dexterity roleplaying game about golfing through a fantasy world? If golf is a way to ruin a good walk, we’ve got no idea what it’s going to do to RPGs. (It will be good!)
2 The Electrum Archive Issue 2
The second issue of a zine exploring the world of Orn. Magic, aliens and an ink that is also a currency and the fuel for casting spells.
By Leyline Press
So, you’re a girl. But, what, get this, if you transformed yourself into a horse using horrifying surgical techniques? A solo journaling RPG using the Wretched and Alone system. It looks bonkers and might be art.
By Dinoberry Press
A paint-along RPG about dinosaurs driving cars. It’s a mapping game that allows you to go on a road trip with a triceratops.
A system neutral body horror adventure focused on creeps, fleshy insects that eat people.
6 Daggers and Ditches and Dangerous Things
By The Sealed Library
A super tiny RPG about going on wild adventures you probably won't come back from.
7 Old School & Cool Vol.4: The Undead Issue
A tome of un/dead things for Old School Essentials that looks ghoulishly good.
By Molgannard
A gothic horror sandbox for Mothership set on a generation ship of a religious sect. What could possibly go wrong?
A Team Rocket (of Pokémon infamy) inspired zine where you play the grunts trying to stop whatever those kids are up to.
By Pidj Sorensen
A solo epistolary roleplaying game between two people holed up during a galactic apocalypse.
A solo or two player journaling roleplaying game of cat and mouse between a criminal and a law man.

Biopunk facility crawl for mothership with a focus on mad scientist and mutations.
14 Crit 1: A Zine of Epic Fails
A disastrous collection of fantasy & RPG comics, art, and short stories.
A system agnostic one shot adventureset in a fictional version of the Philippines.
A dark fantasy ttprg where you can play ‘f’d up little guys’. A rules light system and at about 150 pages make this one of the biggest books in Zinequest this year.
An epistolary RPG for two alchemists.
Solo and one-on-one play for creating dreamlike stories. A fast dice system is promised, and tarot cards can be backed as part of the project.

By Alexei Vella
A GMless map-making TTRPG about a group of children at a sleepover who wake up and discover all the doors, windows and adults in the house have disappeared. If you’re a fan of the recent horror hit Skinamarink – this is your best chance to live through it.
In a land of broken solider attempting to get home after the end of the world. Your god is dead, and you and your fellow soldiers are trying to get home.
A sandbox of mutated animals and weird goings on for the Liminal Horror RPG.
Bastards is a super light ‘dragon game’ that we love, so this reworking of classic modules from the other dragon game for the simplified system looks to be a winner.
A ‘Chiptuned’ (i.e. dance music made on Gameboys) aesthetic drives this game of robots doing stuff in a medieval world.
A solo journaling RPG in which players travel through different manifestations of the same city tracking down their prey.
