Where zine makers compare notes and credits
Discussion norms and pointers—not an exhaustive directory of every Discord on earth.
Talk readability and collaborator care with the same seriousness you give the jam theme.
Track page count, credit completeness, and print-file risks like hit points—they decide whether the issue ships.
Norms worth copying
- Label spoilers for freshly released adventures.
- Separate rules questions from horror/bleed talk when tone is heavy.
- Credit freelancers when you share layouts or tools.
- Assume good faith; escalate to mods instead of pile-ons.
Date credit drafts, print-file checklists, and jam constraints. A collaborator should inherit a brief, not a vibe.
If a prop or motif fights the fiction, reassign it. Coherent play beats unboxing pressure.
Talk readability and collaborator care with the same seriousness you give the jam theme.
If a layout ornament adds three hours and hurts readability, cut it. Usable pages beat sacred spreads.
Credit theft is not a vibe. Separate layout critique from pile-ons. Escalate to mods.
Prefer jam briefs, designer diaries, and encyclopedia craft pages over anonymous “how to get rich on itch” threads.

OSR and Borg crates are natural neighbors when your staples bind doom or dungeon procedures.
Keep notes short enough to reread before a session. Long wikis that nobody opens are not preparation; they are archaeology.
When in doubt, run the smaller scenario, teach one procedure well, and leave room for player ideas that were not in your outline.
