Now Live for Pocketopia: A Tracy Chapman TTRPG Fanzine!
An old fashioned passion-project zine combining music and roleplaying games.
Some creations aren't intended for everyone.
Fiction in the Space Between is a zine featuring eight TTRPG-related items, each based on a different Tracy Chapman song. If you like roleplaying games you will enjoy my experiments with the craft and genuine game night inclusions. And if you like Tracy Chapman's music you will find ways to dwell on the words and messages of her songs, no roleplaying experience necessary.
Fiction in the Space Between is a scrappy photocopy zine. Its title is taken from the lyrics of the ever-relevant song, Telling Stories. Physical backers ($10aud + shipping) will receive a 120mm x 120mm booklet, like you find in a CD case. There's also a digital tier ($5 aud). The zine is full of TTRPG material: solo, duet and many-player games, a move, an inventory system and a safety tool.
For example...
- Fast Car: An asymmetrical 2-player game. One player works shifts playing clock solitaire. The other customises their Fast Car.
- All That You Have is Your Soul: An inventory system, for the management of physical and incorporeal goods. Bring it to your game table!
- Mountain o' Things: A solo experience about immeasurable wealth.
- And more!
The campaign is already live on BackerKit as part of Pocketopia 2025! Pocketopia is a celebration of creativity in the form of portable, easy-to-learn, tabletop game crowdfunding projects, and is well worth your attention.
