The 8-Page Pocket Zine Jam is a Game Jam for TTRPG content in zine format. 

Mini or micro zines are eight-page mini booklets made of a single folded sheet of paper. A zine is usually a short self-published, self-distributed booklet that  can contain just about anything. 

For this jam we want you to create TTRPG content that anyone could put in their pocket!

Theme:

All My _______ is Here to Stay

 The Theme is intended just to be an inspiration for those who want it. Any TTRPG  In the 8 page format will be celebrated fully.

Rules 

Submissions must be in the form of one or more 8-page foldable zines also known as mini zines or micro zines. We should be able to print and fold your zine(s) in this exact format. These can be unique standalone games,  hacks, modules, or supplements. Get creative! Using outside pieces such as dice and cards is allowed, but all of the game rules must be contained in the zines. 

If you are creating for an already existing game you must include proper attribution for the original author.

Submissions must be made during the jam period. No old games may be reposted

Multiple submissions are encouraged!

If you want to charge for your game, we highly recommend providing community copies so that those facing financial hardship have the opportunity to play your games.

Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophobes, and other bigots are not welcome to take part in this game jam. Any games with bigotry or promotion of hatred towards marginalized groups will be removed.
