#zinequest is still cruising along, as you may or may not know. This is gonna be a thread of live or upcoming projects that I think are worth your attention! I might miss some, let me know (I haven't browsed the tag in a couple of days but probably will later today)
Unfortunately for us all I have to start with my own currently live project. Is it a shitpost? Is it earnest? Is it a critique? Am I just seeing if I have what it takes to make monthly content before trying it big time with a patreon? Even I don't know. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamebell/adam-bells-zinequest-mini-zine-bounty-board
Next! You have 45 minutes left on Contorta by @frostyDeanna. I'm looking forward to trying to play this game about Appalachian horror out in the woods, and wouldn't you know it this game is designed for that. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deannak/contorta-rpg
Another time crunch! 2 hours left on Where Mystery Dwells by @KatamoiranGames. I'm very excited to see what how this one turns out because the page strikes such a great balance between fun whimsy and DANGER for 1-2 players https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/katamoiran/where-mystery-dwells
Wanna play as vampires selflessly giving up their lives to restore the sun for the rest humanity? yes, you do. @PidjSorensen's the Sun's Ransom is the one https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/suns-ransom/the-suns-ransom-zinequest3-rpg
A Diabolists Guide to Role Playing Games by @Indent4b0082 will bring demons into whatever game you're playing right now. As you can see by the thumbnail, it's got that good zine cut and paste and scan shit. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/indigomcd/a-diabolists-guide-to-role-playing-games
And of course, the last one ending soon is TORQ by @will_jobst. Drive some cars through a weird world and then hang out and think about shit. I've seen a slice of the 'drive cars' portion and here's a secret: it's a board game that does story really well. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/willjobst/torq
alright, we're out of the "2 days left to back these ones" danger zone, so if you've got a project ending soon feel free to post it here! I'm going to continue with some other exciting looking games that have a bit more runway left on their kickstarters.
Habits of the Common House Ghost by @braverun_wlh is the perfect game for one of those days where you'd like to relax with a game instead of some high stakes adventure or w/e games usually have. See what happens when a ghost's routines get all jumbled up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/braverun/habits-of-the-common-house-ghost
Errant by @yungdumbitch might finally be the fantasy game for me. I love it when games have a set of procedures to engage with to deal with special circumstances, so a game that touts itself as 'rules light, procedure heavy' is exactly my shit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avaislam/errant
I've never seen the inspirations for this game but that won't stop me from really wanting to play it. @AdiraSlattery knows how intense of an experience a designer can curate with a 2 player game, and it shows with Tension. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adiraslattery/tension-0
d36 by @pangalactic. Chris is trying to make a quarterly zine full of wild content from a bunch of different designers. Each zine will have its own theme, so they'll be pretty distinct. Issue 1's theme is 'red', and the visuals are cool as hell https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loottheroom/d36-a-strange-rpg-zine
vis-a-visage by @maxwellander: i'm in for any rpg that calls itself competitive, but the setup where you each fill out a character sheet and then rip the top parts off and exchange them to represent the fact that youre swapping faces absolutely rules. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/snaxwell/vis-a-visage-a-2-player-competetive-face-swapping-ttrpg
Sidenote - if you'd rather something like this thread but in an entertaining audio medium, check out the latest episode of the Brain Trust Podcast https://twitter.com/will_jobst/status/1362159282821730314
or if livestreams and video content is more your thing, head over to @plusoneexp where Tony has been doing a ton of #zinequesting and supporting the scene in general
Speaking of @plusoneexp, check out REPUGNANT - one look at the incredible & gross art will tell you if this game is for you. It's the only ttrpg where you could pick your nose at the table and defend it by saying you're in character https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tokenterrors/repugnant-the-worlds-most-disgusting-ttrpg
An Altogether Different River by @ehronlime: how places keep changing after you've left them and what you find upon your return. I love worldbuilding and thinking about how places are ever-changing, and all of Aaron's other stuff I've read has been great https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ehronlime/an-altogether-different-river-zine-edition
a loud noise in a quiet place by @IAmPhophos brings us introspective play based on Marx's own experience with temporary hearing loss. Games are a great medium for sharing how our different experiences affect our lives, so this one immediately caught my eye https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marx-of-high-water/a-loud-noise-in-a-quiet-place
Speaking of @IAmPhophos check out the Yes Indie'd podcast! They've interviewed almost two dozen zinequest designers about their work which is just a huge undertaking, They also do fairly regular chats with indie designers. Every episode I've listened to so far has been a delight.
Another great zinequest project is A Greeblin's Journey by @thomasanovosel. It's not on kickstarter!! It's crowdfunding on itch. It's a journaling game about a little greeblin going on a journey of necessity after being ousted from their home. https://thomasnovosel.itch.io/a-greeblins-journey
next is Arcana Palace: Competitive Tarot Reading by @AdamHegemier. Courtly intrigue and having a hand of tarot cards that you play to change the story make this one a yes for me. It hasn't hit the funding goal yet so check it out now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clockworkmonk/arcane-palace-competitive-tarot-reading
Here are two great games by @sealedlibrary/ @iammattsanders. I'm a big fan of HYHAB - telling stories about some vile beast in a tavern and then unfortunately finding them all to be true when you fight it. And the other game has you build out a hex map 
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iammattsanders/have-you-heard-about-the-beast-and-we-sail-beyond
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iammattsanders/have-you-heard-about-the-beast-and-we-sail-beyond
I don't think I've gotten through all of the live projects yet, but here are a few upcoming projects that you should hit the big remind me button on
