Three of Hex Games’ most prolific creators have launched Kickstarter campaigns as part of the Zine Quest 2 event. Given that some of the earliest Hex products were released in zine format (even though we didn’t call them zines), it’s kind of to be expected. We’ve helpfully provided the basic info, end dates, and Kickstarter links below so you can make sure you don’t miss out.<\/p>\n

Them’s Monsters by Joshua LH Burnett<\/h1>\n

Kickstarter Ends February 25<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Q: What are those?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A: Them\u2019s monsters<\/a>!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In 2018, I put together a manga-sized zine called\u00a0Them\u2019s Monsters!\u00a0<\/span>that I passed out to people I met at Gencon (it\u2019s better than a business card!). The zine was a collection of various monsters for the\u00a0Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019ve never officially published\u00a0Them\u2019s Monsters!<\/span>, and that original print-run of 50 was all the world has even seen of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

But now\u00a0Zinequest 2<\/span>\u00a0gives me the opportunity and excuse to share\u00a0Them\u2019s Monsters!<\/span>\u00a0with the wider world! The Zinequest version of\u00a0Them\u2019s Monsters!<\/span> includes the original 10 monsters, several new ones, as well as new and improved art.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Akashic Titan by Leighton Connor<\/h1>\n

Kickstarter Ends February 26<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Ellie O’Clock sits<\/span>\u00a0in her pilot’s chair and<\/span>\u00a0gazes through the<\/span>\u00a0heavy<\/span>\u00a0glass, watching the aether of the Ulfire Band fizz and pop. Suddenly a nearby<\/span>\u00a0patch of void squirms, twists, and rips open, vomiting forth an obscene tentacled horror. A Stellar Squid!<\/span>\u00a0Ellie has no time to think–she grabs a lever, twists, and pulls. Instantaneously the metal behemoth she pilots reacts, swinging a giant metal fist at the Squid . . . \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Akashic Titan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0zine serves as an introduction to the akashic titans, giant metal constructs powered by magic that soar across the endless void, traveling from world to world. In addition to giving an overview of the akashic titans, the zine provides a port city setting, Starnheim, that Judges can work into their\u00a0Dungeon Crawl Classics<\/span> games.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Tales from the Lusty Minotaur by Steve Johnson<\/h1>\n

Kickstarter ends March 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Ever since a band of hobbits teamed up with a grungy weirdo in the Prancing Pony, taverns have been a staple of fantasy fiction. The Silver Eel, The Vulgar Unicorn, The Inn of the Last Home, and countless other fine establishments give our favorite fantasy heroes a place to meet like-minded companions, get adventure leads from that old guy with the eye patch, and enjoy a warm meal and a cold brew in between dungeons. Tales from the Lusty Minotaur<\/span><\/span><\/a> continues this proud tradition.”<\/em><\/p>\n
