These are in addition to phasic #1 and Flame Prïncess Cult, which you can find on the home page.
I've been playing tabletop role-playing games since I got the 1981 Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set for my eighth (ninth?) birthday. Here are some of the rpg-related zines and zine-like things I've been involved with over the years.
Back in the mid 2000's a ton of fellow old school game nerds had started self-publishing through print-on-demand venues like lulu.com. I wanted to see if I could pull that off, so I created The Miscellaneum of Cinder, a book of random charts for your D&D game. It is illustrated by my good buddy Sarkos. Later, I wanted to see if I could successfully navigate publishing with Wizards of the Coast's Open Game License. Ye Olde Book of Spells is a compilation of spells from three different OGL products with some modifications of my own.
I offered both works as print-on-demand and digital download. The download of Miscellaneum lacked the color cover. Matthew Schmeer of Rended Press downloaded both books and printed his own hardcopies. I adore his custom copy of Miscellaneum with its TSR Game Wizard dude.
Yo. Spells. and Yo. More spells. were released electronically at the dawn of fifth edition D&D as player aids. I thought the all-alphabetical arrangement of spells in the free basic rules was atrocious, so I decided a handbook not unlike Ye Olde Book of Spells was in order. I think these docs went slightly viral for a time, as I will stumble across copies in places I didn't put them, like scribd.com
This one is a supplement to the last section of the Lamentations of the Flame Princess book Broodmother Skyfortress, but 30 Additional Grimoires can probably be used in a Lamentations game even if you don't have Broodmother. It was released in conjunction with the first issue of Flame Prïncess Cult.
I recently made a couple of RPG-related minizines using the Electric Zine Maker by alienmelon. Anyhoo, Paxamoor is the top-level description of a campaign setting, with each of the Six Realms of Paxamoor on a page and a terrible map on the back cover. Wizardry: Book of Mage Spells lists all the magic-user spells in the classic computer rpg Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.
Fight On! was a fanzine of the Old School Renaissance that ran 14 issues from 2008 to 2013. I contributed at least one piece to 13 of the 14 issues. At least I don't think I have anything in issue #9. I could be wrong. I also helped out just a bit with the production. I designed the original (terrible) and second (better) logos for the zine. I arranged for the cover art for issue #1 as well. And I think I helped out with one or two other things, but I can't remember.
Green Devil Face was the official zine of Lamentation of the Flame Princess weird role-playing game, as opposed to Flame Prïncess Cult, my unofficial Lamentations zine (discussed on my home page). I have a couple of items in issue #2 of Green Devil Face. I also redesigned the logo, which the publisher loved so much that he only used it for two of the subsequent four issues.
Recently (summer 2023), GDF editor and LotFP publisher James E. Raggi IV did a quick turnaround (24 hours?) call for adventures to appear in a new issue. I wrote up some sort of thing I called the Tomb of St. Satan. I'm not entirely sure whether it will be published or not. UPDATE: I got into issue #7! Yay! And apparently James doesn't loathe the logo after all! Double yay!
I have a random chart in The Carcosan Grimoire, a fan compilation for Geoffrey McKinney's Supplement V: Carcosa.
Crawl! is a fanzine for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. I made some quickie wandering monster charts for DCC RPG that appear in the fifth issue.
Star Frontiersman is a fanzine for the sci-fi rpg Star Frontier. It ran for 25 issues from 2007 to 2014. I don't remember submitting anything to them, but I have a short piece in #19 nonetheless.
To be honest, I don't know that much about German gaming zine Abenteuerpunkt except that a German gamer I knew solicited me for a submission. I sent him some English words. They were translated into German and illustrated. I don't read German, but the results look pretty cool.
