Creating a TTRPG: Set Up Your Ideas First

The first step to creating your own TTRPG is identifying what ideas you already have

ZineQuest 2024 is just around the corner, starting on Feb. 1st.

For those of you who don’t know, ZineQuest is a month-long initiative that is hosted by Kickstarter where TTRPG creators who make zines (short, sweet, and to the point publications) for new content, settings, and systems related to tabletop role playing games are featured.

It is a great time to look for some new adventures, try new games, and support smaller creators (or large ones, too). And last year, I created a TTRPG system and adventure called Stargems. It was designed to be playable by kids as young as 4 to help bring kids and families to the gaming table.

This year, I’m launching a brand new system, Wandlore, and I wanted to walk you through the process. If you’re interested, stick along for the series of posts I’ll be adding here on Medium to lead up to ZineQuest.
