Thursday. What A Concept.
This zine is a companion piece to the Thursday RPG. I made it by cutting out text, gluing it to a page and photocopying it. This digital version is a scan of the physical zine that went to backers of the Kickstarter. Inside you will find writing about my inspirations for creating the game, design aspirations, new art from Tzor Edery that didn't make it into the final project, and info about how to make your own playbooks including a detailed taxonomy of how I designed the moves.
