What happens when the thing ruining your adventuring party’s aesthetic ends up being your group’s greatest asset? I’m Caro, a story artist and animator from the United States. I make stupid stuff full of character and heart. #DNDZine #NotAMimic #NotAMimicZine #NAM4 @caroodraws.bsky.social

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) @leeminarium.bsky.social

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! @moimimi.bsky.social

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. @catzero.bsky.social

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. @pandoraspencilbox.bsky.social

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. @fizzleston.bsky.social

Still horrified by the omnipotent clow-cowboy innkeeper from their long running DND campaign, Ninke used their powers of storytelling and comics to share the tale of how their party met this mysterious figure that continued to plague them thereafter. @ninekeyart.bsky.social

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! 🌟 kirstie1999.bluesky.social

Jess and Link are two peas in a pod - best friends for over 15 years! Jess is an art director in indie games in Northern Ireland. Link is a game design student in the Netherlands. Together, their combined braincell can obsess over mythology and produce many, MANY hottie drawings.

"Looking for a nice place to take a rest after a fun and energetic day at the festival? 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…" The Garden of Dreams by @/wolfsmoon_art

"Finn has been playing D&D for well over a decade, with a vast collection of characters as a result! And you’re about to meet one of them… Now, one of the most important things about a D&D character is of course their party! But, what if they don’t have one?!" @ct-sparkles.bsky.social

A warmly lit tavern, music bouncing off the walls, laughter in the air. Your toes tap, your heart skips - you'd love to dance. One tiny problem: the only person you want to dance with is far too busy to notice. Caro /@naroree.art tells a tale of a shy rogue with a huge crush on his bard companion.

Have you ever been so tired you’d do anything for a good night’s sleep? Would you fight a dragon? That’s the predicament the hero in @alexander_hendricks comic finds himself in. Will he prevail and get some rest, or be put to sleep forever? #DNDZine #NotAMimic #NotAMimicZine #NAM3

We are working hard to bring the third edition of the zine, themed ‘Party, banter and downtime’, to life! What’s more DND party behaviour than adopting the NPC the party stumbles upon?! Spungles by @ct-sparkles.bsky.social Do you have a fun Party/ NPC story? Tell us in the comments!!!
