NOW IS THE TIME
A downloadable Zine RPG
NOW IS THE TIME is a small 30 page roleplaying game in which players take the role of environmental activists in the near-future of 2040 Britain. Magic has slowly begun to return to the world and, with both sides edging closer to all out warfare every day, has only added more kindling to the fire as a shadow war rages in the protests and riots of the populace.
Powered by the RESISTANCE system used in games such as The Spire RPG and The Heart RPG, NOW IS THE TIME takes a narrative approach to rules and magic. Inside you'll find some surprisingly useful tactics in bringing about change that should be confined entirely to the realms of fiction for legal reasons. There's also some pretty nice illustrations and enough lore and rules for you and your friends to have a pretty fun time with the setting. Or feel free to just add it to your already massive dragon's hoard of Zines you own but never intend to play, its a win win!

Wow looks like this gonna be my favourite zine this year!
Very cool.
Looks great! Can't wait to receive it. Question about shipping: how are you going to know our shipping adress? You will have access to the one used in the paying process or I missed an input field somewhere? Thx!
I plan to gather shipping addresses closer to shipping time, using the email addresses provided during payment, Since I will need to contact people about the art print (since it's looking like we'll break that goal too!) anyway. Thanks for buying the game!
Good stuff, love the illustrations.
Very nice! Can't wait for the print copy!
Thank you!
