The Bird of Passage - Volume 1, Issue 1

The parchment cracks and sheds as you unroll and flatten it on the sitting-room table. Every edition has an air of antiquity about it. THE BIRD OF PASSAGE, volume unknown, issue unknown. Print run of two, or perhaps two hundred thousand. This one arrived today, rolled tightly and slipped into your daypack at some point during your morning errands. Who delivered it? Don’t ask stupid questions.

THE BIRD OF PASSAGE is an experiment in tabletop roleplaying, collaborative storytelling, adventures, and other things.

It is a quarterly zine edited and published by me. Volume 1, Issue 1 is 12 pages in length, and contains four adventures, a dream, and one unusual item.

It is system-agnostic: this is not a “D&D zine,” though it’s definitely inspired by many hours spent in those worlds.

It is progressive and intersectional: we politely decline traditional and well-worn tropes, especially as they pertain to gender, race, ability, and class.

It defies expectation and avoids the easy out.

It is free to download, though if you donate at least $5 and live in the continental US, I can mail you a physical copy. We'll chat later.
