I'm ready to zine



Do feel free to add Zine Quest 2 logos to your zines, Kickstarter project images, and descriptions. Just be sure you follow the rules on Kickstarter's Brand Assets page.



Don't add any additional logos, stickers, or badges—e.g. "Funded in X hours"—to your project image, as we will not be able to feature it in any promotions.

What makes a Zine Quest zine?

Zines must either contain an RPG or feature RPG-related content, like maps, adventures, monsters, comics, articles, and/or interviews.



Zines must be 5.5” x 8.5” (A5) or smaller.



Zines must feature one-color printing. Think beyond black ink, or consider printing on colorful paper.



Zines must be unbound, folded, stapled, or saddle-stitched. No hard cover or perfect binding allowed.



Campaigns should last no more than two weeks. Keep your project small and doable. In two weeks, you could launch another zine, or just look back proudly on a job well done.
