ZineTopia Spotlight: 9 projects worth your eyeballs
8 months ago – Fri, Feb 13, 2026 at 06:48:42 AM

Good news: the infestation isn’t the only thing spreading. 

ZineTopia is stacked with cool content this month. This year's event has loads to offer, including these projects which are genuinely worth a look. Be sure to check out at least one zine that speaks to you and make this year's event even more successful!

New Narratives

  • Blightfall - You are doomed villagers infected by darkness sacrifice shreds of humanity for power. This is a collaborative worldbuilding game with a player driven narrative and tactical combat.
  • The Deepest Dark - A turn-based, GM-less one-shot system inspired by the Quiet Year and Ten Candles. You are scientists trapped in a cave-in, forced to explore the underground.
  • H.O.M.E. - This is a tactical cyberpunk horror game set in a dystopian city split between corporate rich and the poor… isolated in an unreal Dreamlands-like dimension.
  • Three punk games - 3 small, fast punk games: SEX/VIOLENCE/POOP 3, HEX & THE PUNKS, We Were Punks.

GM Tools

  • Great Hexpectations - Explore hex-based encounters and tables to feed your fantasy game and turn the humble hex into a campaign driver.
  • Fang Dungeon Bestiary - Get 36 whimsical monsters with children’s-book-illustrator Monster Manual energy. Plus a stretch goal for Dolmenwood stats!
  • Wildest Shape (5E) - A 5e subclass that let's your druid transform into creatures from another universe. Includes new spells, items and creatures.

Solo Play

  • The Wanderer’s Bookshop - A mixed-media solo journaling bookshop simulator. Guided by tarot cards, read books, solve a mystery, and make your own a journal keepsake.
  • Tales from the Cockpit - A print run for a solo game about a giant robot, its many pilots, and the passing of time. Plus an extra, The Cog That Remains, a mecha mechanic solo game.
 
Thanks for feeding the wider outbreak,

8 months ago – Wed, Feb 11, 2026 at 01:11:46 PM

Good news: the infestation just mutated. 

Worm Jelly Preview Drop

We’ve released a PDF preview of our full adventure Worm Jelly, a drop-in Mothership one-shot you can run fast and hard with minimal prep.

Backers: grab it in the Backer-Only section at the bottom of this update.
Followers:  back the campaign to unlock it instantly. Campaign ends Thu Feb 26 at 11:00am MDT.



What Worm Jelly is about

A wounded (and gargantuan) void jelly drifts into a major shipping lane and triggers a scavenger stampede. You’re caught between a brutal choice:
  • Protect a majestic alien organism from being harvested…
  • Or cash in on psychic pearls and get out alive.

You’re not the first to arrive: four other ships are already here. Are they allies or the competition? And inside the jelly, while the pearls give off a psychic drone, something massive wriggles nearby...

Help us spread the outbreak

If you can do one thing for us this week: share this campaign with one Warden who loves misery. That single message moves the needle more than any social post.

Thanks for feeding the outbreak.
