Apochromatic Unlimited Zine Issue: #0

Welcome to the Issue 0 of Apchormatic Unlimited's TTRPG zine.

Inside you will find the work of members of Apochromatic’s admin staff and how we filtered our experiences in TTRPGs and being PoC to give you tools and knowledge you can use to add to or enhance your TTRPG games.  

Leona discusses the value and validity that sensitivity readers bring to TTRPGs. Mark J interviews Paul how tables that run with a no-racism rule in their games make it impossible for someone to bring their BIPoC experience to a character and can potentially whitewash them. Logan brings you a Dungeons and Dragons 5e bard subclass that brings it to the ballroom and includes a brief history on both Ballroom and Voguing. Jemarc talks about tools you can use to co-create trauma conscious games. Kemma introduces a game agnostic creature that represents the struggle of many marginalized groups and an encounter with the Hawaiian deity Tutu Pele. Leona comes back with an explanation of post-game drop, aftercare, and their importance to healthy play. Finally, Mark J finishes it off strongly with a question of what even the TTRPG space is.

We hope this selection gives you food for thought. We hope it brings you joy when you see and hear your experiences echoed in these pages. We hope that you share this with your friends, family, and strangers on the street. Most of all, we hope you can feel the love we put into this, and the love we want to give to you.
