Introducing the Toss Off zine
After a short period of rumination & preparation, I'm happy to introduce Toss Off , a totally unnecessary, irregularly scheduled, systemless 2-page RPG zine. I'll throw ideas into a 2-page format and post them here. You can download them and use them as you see fit, even if that's to line the bottom of your hamster cage. I'm using Google Docs and public domain images to put these together and then exporting them as PDFs. I'm releasing the zines under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License . This means you are free to use the ideas in your own projects, even copying & pasting my words verbatim, as long as you: give me credit indicate any changes you made give your project away for free You can find the first issue here . All issues will be archived on this page over here.
