Just like how a good TTRPG gaming night needs a Dungeon Master, a good zine needs an editor-in-chief.
Esther swapped her drawing pen for a DM screen and from behind it she made sure that all the players had everything they needed, and the table was set to present you the best zine possible! 👑

Logan is an illustrator and comic artist, but mostly a suspected cryptid. All you need to know about him is that he will pvp the chaos in your project and win.
Of course, in the end, some of his art snuck in anyway. I promise its not a Mimic (roll Insinght)

We all know them, we all love them, our trusty companions and the party’s favourite, the familiar. Different familiars have different quirks, but what if you could train them to have them help the party out even more?
Meet the party and their treasured familiar Buster!

Question: What creature embodies the mantra of “Party, Banter & Downtime” best? No, it’s Not A Mimic (wink). Ruben and @charuchii.bsky.social have once again joined forces to invite you to the truest definition of rest and relaxation - through the eyes of a cat.

It’s time for a classic ‘shopping episode’! Follow a group of adventurers as they enter the famous shopping district: The Grove. Our heroes will encounter new equipment and items, which you can use in your own games! As well as shops, shops and many more shops.

After a whole bunch of questing any hero needs some carefree quality relaxation time, preferably at a lovely beach resort of course! One problem though… There is this big maze made by our acolyte and 3th time collaborator @wiebebonnema obscuring the way to it.

As part of the festival trio, I will introduce you to our festival host and provide some minigames to incorporate in your DnD game!
Besides that, I have been keeping my fellow editorial members sharp by planning and preventing the mimics from escaping the basement.

Abe is a comic artist that explores his own humanity in a result and data driven society. Sometimes fantasy is the best way to explore reality and sometimes your humanity just wants to draw himbo’s, silly little guys and a coloring picture.

We should all reconnect with nature. ‘Cause, let's be real; what’s better than this? Two guys, dozens of birds, and a rising tension. Surely this growing hostility won’t take flight….
Fizzleston is a comic artist, who’s happy to be here and even happier he made a comic.

Kirstie is a queer, nerdy former-theater-kid whose time disappears into drawing, playing TTRPGs, larping, and then drawing comics based on said TTRPGs and larps!
For this year’s NaM entry, she collaborated on a whimsical festival spread, focusing on short fun games! 🌟

Well, look no further because Batty has the perfect place to get cozy and relax. But maybe, better keep an eye open, because things may not seem as dreamy as they are…"

One tiny problem: the only person you want to dance with is far too busy to notice.
