Today in Unhinged TTRPG Stuff we have: an A6 zine of randomly generated numbers made from a guy who actually rolled a bunch of dice and noted all the results down.

Behold, truly random d12 numbers:

"It took a while." says Thriftomancer, the dedicated author of the zine.

Imagine strolling to a convention game and some player pulls this out instead of a set of dice, crossing the numbers they have already "rolled". It would be both maddening and hilarious and I love it.

Anyway, it is sold at Spearwitch for the low low price of $13.

One of the first games I ever played was Mage: The Awakening. To this day, I think about the design of World of Darkness games a lot. A goodly amount of the 90's trad-game design philosophy has always been too fluffy for my taste. It feels like playing a frayed blanket; there are bits that dangle out of the edge of the whole, not connecting back to the rest. But the core of the thing is nuanced, elegant, and very fun to play.

Needless to say, I was destined to take my own shot at an urban-fantasy wizard game at some point. The end result of that particular effort was...

Broke Wizards

... which is one of my proudest creations. It's a fun, silly game about making magic - and minimum wage - at the same time. It was my first go at dice pools, and to this day it's the biggest game I've written.

I really love this game, and it's a work I'd love for more people to see too.

I was mucking bout with a foldable zine template and I came up with a cute little adventure, based of a session I ran t the start of one of my earlier ttrpg campaigns.

The format is very satisfying to work with and the restraint of only have several small pages to work with is. Fun challenge.

Treasure Hunter Egypt - Tabletop RPG Zine

This Table-top RPG Zine is set in modern-day Egypt, and you play a Treasure Hunter exploring a newly discovered Tomb. However, this being me, I couldn't make a "serious" version of that idea, so this zine is packed with (hopefully) funny references to items, characters and stories and even songs "inspired" by other franchises, such as ... well, I don't want to spoil the surprises! Let's just say that spotting all my little jokes might be almost as much fun as playing the game itself!

To play this game you need a blank crossword (taken from a newspaper or magazine, or printed from one of the many free online crossword sites), a copy of the Playsheet (spare copies are included, and you can photocopy as many more as you need), two six-sided dice or an app that can generate dice rolls, a pencil and an eraser (you can use a pen too, but as there will be a lot of crossing out as you play, a pencil is easier). The length of the game depends on the size of your crossword and how lucky (or unlucky) you are. In play testing, most games on an average newspaper crossword lasted around 30 minutes.

The rules are not difficult to learn and are given in a step-by-step format. Some optional rules are included if you wish to make the game more challenging. Whilst designed to be a single-player game, there is a "score" you can calculate if you finish the game, which you can then challenge yourself or a friend to beat.

There is no offensive language or content in this zine and as such can be safely played by anyone of any age. However, many of the jokes and references relate to things younger players may not recognise or know of. If you're a parent and your child is playing this game, it might give you a fun excuse to show them where the reference comes from :)

The Zine itself is printed on nice quality 120gsm paper. It has 24 pages, measures 10.8x14cm, and is staple bound.

You can purchase it now from my Etsy store: https://lindsaybakerart.etsy.com/listing/1641449651
