Here we are, entering the last week of July. I've been busy securing interviews with ZineQuest creators (not as busy as them, I'm sure), and I wanted to update readers as to next month's schedule. The News Roundup will still be posted every Monday, but the rest of the week will be dedicated to special, short, Meet the Publisher interviews with a different creator each day. I will be posting an overview of the upcoming week's interview in each Monday's Roundup. I have also added an RSS feed to the blog, so that folks can more easily follow it for news and releases.
*The artist Denis McCarthy (you can read an interview with him here) has released an adventure for Travis Legge's Odysseys and Overlords game. The Redoubt of Chandra is written for characters of levels 3-4.
*The prolific Kent David Kelly has published a Deck of Many Things Tarot Card Set.
*Rat King's Sewer, by Ken Spencer, is an urban themed adventure for characters levels 4-6.
*I haven't heard of this publisher before, but Hunter's Moon is a short adventure designed for characters of levels 3-5 and set *after* the party has completed a succesful mission and is trying to relax.
*Torches Zine #4 is now out, with a theme of waterfalls, fungi, and moisture.
