Originally designed in the 1990s for one of our programmed TFT adventures, this map has been resurrected as a deluxe neoprene playment. It uses a unique numbering system that allows you to create and deploy encounters with a simple series of dice rolls or set of coordinates. Instructions are included, and it works with any hex-based gaming system.

The fourth issue is out with more old school gaming goodness. Among the contents is our article Not By Iron Alone, about material use in arms and armor. Besides more primitive materials, it also includes new original materials for rare and unusual equipment.
The third issue is jam-packed with amazing content. Features the results of the Postcard Adventure Contest, with a number of entries reproduced, including our entry The Bestial Faire. Also includes our article Legendary Artifacts, a collection of unique magic items that can serve as quest items and adventure centerpieces. Hope you enjoy!
The second issue keeps classic RPG action rolling. Loads of ideas and adventures, including our contribution, The Little Merlad, which features a new magic item and an adventure hook to introduce it to the players.
The first issue of a new zine that captures the original feel and fandom of The Fantasy Trip. Full of material from SJ Games veterans and loyal fans. Includes our own contribution, The Paired Parchments, a new magic item and adventure hook.
This evolved from a TFT Abecedary that I wrote on a lark. Steve Jackson Games liked it enough to turn it into a free printable coloring book, with artwork by Liz Danforth. Silly fun!
