“In the Next World, You’re on Your Own.”

Following in the footsteps of the late Demonground, Protodimension Magazine is a new quarterly zine offering a grab bag of adventures, plot seeds, fiction and house rules for a variety of horror and supernaturally-oriented RPGs. The first issue, which you can find here, hit the site the other week.

Content runs the gamut, including some of the less-recognized horror games like Unknown Armies, so it’s nice to see representation for more than the big apes of the horror genre. I admit I only skimmed the issue, looking more closely at the stuff I recognized and found interesting, but that’s the point of a zine, really: pick out the stuff that grabs your attention and leave the rest. I did like those blueprints for an alien spacecraft. They’ll come in handy if I ever get around to running a Conspiracy X game.

In short, if you’re interested in the modern horror or conspiracy genres, page through Protodimension and see what they’ve got. The layout designer very thoughtfully arranged it in landscape format, so it’s easy to read on a computer monitor.
