(Kickstarter) The Merovingian Hack #ZineQuest3

I didn't go into ZineQuest looking to play 6th Century Gaul, but The Merovingian Hack might be the perfect zine of this round.


"The Merovingian Hack takes a fantastical, adventurous approach to the 6th century in Western Europe, a time of climate calamity, plague, conquest, social change, and religious consolidation. It was a time when the west was trying to figure out just who it was, taking inspiration from its tribal and Roman roots under the burgeoning influence of the Catholic church. In this world your characters can take on many roles with the help of your referee, the impartial arbiter of the action at hand. Politic with the nobles, fight with a warband, move goods as a trader, or try to get rich off the many hoards and ruins dotting the land."

Out of all the 'zines thus far, this one is the truest to my narrow notion of a zine.  With the exception of a color cover, it's utilitarian, black & basic basic, with a style that looks like it was constructed on a typewriter.  

...and you can barely beat five bucks for anything nowadays, especially pdf and print.
