Summer of Zines!
Hey folks, I hope your summer is doing okay, or winter, or whatever season you’re in!
Today, I’m super excited to announce three new zines in stock and The Lost Bay Workshop.
Let’s get started!
BLADES
By
, Dión, Iko, Poet117, Torny Tran, Wren The Forrester, Scragend.Brought to you by the TLB community, and adorned with breathtaking art by Scragend of Late Night Broadcasts fame, BLADES is a compendium of thirteen knives to spice up your dark fantasy, cyberpunk, sci-fi, and modern horror games. Use it as an adventure sparkbook, a loot catalog, or as support for a campaign where players hunt each of the thirteen blades allegedly owned by the Knife Eater, a dark immortal.
Each knife comes with its own story, art, and system-neutral mechanical effect. The zine can also be used as a player handout for maximum "whoa" effect at your table.
Fallen
By popular demand, Fallen is back! Immerse yourself in mist, tricorns, and coaches in this acclaimed game by American-German designer and artist Perplexing Ruins. Designed with an OSR-adjacent philosophy and a solo-first approach, Fallen is a fully playable game brimming with countless tables. Don’t we all love tables!
Seize your copy and Fall into Fallen!
Hilgraab
The natural companion and expansion to Fallen, Hilgraab invites you into a full-color zine and a sprawling setting. Built upon the mysteries and ruins of medieval cities, it's a mazelike urban landscape of growing darkness.
The Lost Bay Workshop
Get ready for an exciting summer! I'm hosting two Ask Me Anything / Workshop / Roundtable events dedicated to The Lost Bay RPG. Join me to explore TLB Lore, get tips on running your game, and discuss designing for the system. I’ll schedule one session during the week and another on a weekend to make it easier for folks in various time zones to participate!.

Playing The Lost Bay
Our open campaign just got a wicked new twist! Heroes are now venturing into the Sinking Marshes for a dangerous Depth Crawl, seeking the molting spot of Saint Jennifer Larva Girl, the immortal teenage ruler of bugs. We play every other Sunday, and new players are always welcome for a single session or ongoing adventure. Don't fear the mud or mosquitos? Pack your gear and find us on The Lost Bay server!
Wonder what the heck is a Depth Crawl, we got you covered in this previous issue of The Dispatch:
Spring of RPGs
A lot has been going on at The Lost Bay Studio since the last newsletter, and I have so much to unpack. But I’ll try to be brief and get straight to the point.
That’s all I got for you today,
Stay tuned for a mid-summer Build a Better World RPG jam recap, and more TLBS news.
Cheers,
Iko
