Hidden in the Margins [PREORDER]

*** This is a preorder. Images are mockups and do not reflect the final quality of the physical zine. Preorders planned to ship late April 2025.***

Hidden in the Margins is also available in a bundle with Between the Covers which you can get here.

A collection of ten experimental roleplaying games all themed around the margins of notebooks, scraps of paper, or the contents of a letter, by Seb Pines and Will Jobst. 

Write letters, draw diagrams, fold origami, and encrypt the written word. Each game contained in this anthology is a short experience to play by yourself or with another, revelling in all that pen and paper has to offer.

What's waiting for you, hidden in the margins? 

Featuring: 

• Shipwrights, a game about sending papercraft boats inscribed with meaning and message from port to port.
• Burst Bubbles, a game of telling secrets that stay secret until they don’t, played with origami balloons. 
• Unread, a game of love, yearning, and languishing, in which two players defy time and distance to communicate the untold drama of life in brief, stolen moments. 
• And seven others, all centered around the themes of marginalia and letter writing.
