Beetle Knight A Bug-Sized Tabletop Role-Playing Game for ZineQuest
You can Back it Here: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/brookletgames
In Beetle Knight, you play as arthropod Knights designated by the Iridescent Order as protectors of the realm of Litterfall. You are thus duty-bound to travel the world, helping those in need.
Unexplained phenomena and deep history permeate the world of Beetle Knight. Arthropod characters with diverse cultures based on every bug imaginable populate the cracks and hollows of Litterfall.
Litterfall is a patchwork of territories. Every centimeter of the ever-changing land is spoken for and each has several ancestral claimants. As a member of the Iridescent Order of Knights you are driven by honor to investigate the mysteries of the realm.
No Nazis in Valhala
We are joined by returning guests Chris Koger and Wes Ascolese to talk about their upcoming Zine Quest project No Nazis in Vahala.

This one-of-a-kind OSR dungeon crawl takes players back thousands of years to a temple-city in the throes of apocalypse. There they ascend the ever-changing Tower to Heaven, braving the curse of chaos in hopes of reaching the ultimate reward at the Tower’s heights.
120+ illustrated hardcover pages reveal shifting chambers, angelic horrors, and more than 80 creatures of Mesopotamian myth and biblical tales amidst this ancient temple-city of wonders. A Tower Generator web app helps bring this unique world seamlessly to life, allowing referees to run entire adventures with a few easy taps or clicks. Thanks to the curse of chaos, no two delves are ever the same. There’s always something new, strange, and surprising to encounter for players and referees alike.

14: The Mold For Mork Borg
Check out our sponsor Ratti Incantati here: https://rattiincantati.com/
Today's guest Brian Colin joins us to talk about The Mold for Mork Borg. Beneath the surface of the planet an intense heat has been boiling and bubbling, waiting to erupt. For centuries, the denizens of the Kör have awaited the widening of a crack large enough for the Molt to commence. And now, in Grift, one such rupture has torn a gash through the human realm. How long will it take for the transformation of the Molt to complete? The Molt is a self-contained, rules-light RPG based on and compatible with Mörk Borg.
