D12 Monthly – My D&D Zine

d12 Monthly Zine

d12 Monthly is my flagship product which is very much inspired by the Dragon magazines of old.

It is edition-agnostic and contains a lot of articles, and each issue is themed. Some of the past themes include: death, wilderness, dungeons, the underdark, combat, and many more.

They come out at the start of each month (earlier, if you are a patron on Patreon. or an email subscriber).

They range from 20 pages to 28 pages in length and have an average of 9-10 articles per issue.

You can find all of them on my zine page for free PDF downloads.

You can also get physical copies mailed to you each month (full colour cover and black & white interior) if you are a patron.

This time, I will use it to create a simple, yet useful, system you could use for any downtime you have between adventures.

In fact, you could easily generate mini-adventures using this system, as you will see.

8 Takeaways From D20 Modern To Use In Your Dungeons & Dragons Campaign

8 Takeaways From D20 Modern To Use In Your D&D Campaign

If you are not familiar with D20 Modern, it is a system that came out at the height of the D20 boom in the 2000s, which was powered by D&D 3rd edition.

Here are my 8 take-aways from D20 Modern to use in my Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
