What it is about
Table For One?
The hardest part about tabletop roleplaying games isn’t learning the mechanics, or getting the perfect dice set for your new character, or even forming an in-character group with wildly disparate people. No, it’s setting a time and place. Online gaming venues make that a little easier—at least everyone can stay in the comfort of their own home—but even so, scheduling game night is famously hard. This, the fourth, issue of Unbound Zine solves that by focusing on solo games.

About the Unbound Zine
Unbound is a ttrpg zine that is published monthly. Each issue is a collection of resources, from adventures and playbooks to articles and editorials, that you can bring to your table. Unbound is an "everything-but-5e" magazine that makes content for open licenses, as well as system-neutral content and smaller games. Every issue has a theme, and the articles therein examine that theme from a different angle. Our hope is that even if you've never tried the systems contained in a particular issue, you'll be able to find something to take and put in your own game: art, story, mechanics, or ideas!
