Issue 41 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, is out!
Issue 41 is the Downtime issue. It will feature articles on running downtime, adding it well into your campaign, simple rules for building a business, and much more! (See below for details).
NOTE: Just a note on the cover image. I bought this stock art thinking it was hand-created by the artist, but it seems to be AI art. I did not know it at the time, and wished I had. Unfortunately, the zines were already printed.
