More From Zine Month 2025
Even More Games to Fall In Love With
We’re back with another round of Zine Month projects! As we enter the back half of February, more and more games continue to kick off their fundraising campaigns. Which is why we decided to do a second special edition newsletter specifically to call out those newly launched projects we’re most excited about. From curious cats (potentially) wreaking havoc in a new home to a one-shot that aims to defy fate, these six TTRPGs (plus a few extras launching soon) are top of the list to add to our Zine Month haul.
