You may find more discussion at the relevant category on the tekeli.li forum. (You'll need to register to participate, but I run it and I promise not to sell your data.)
Contributors are expected to stay on topic and remain civil to each other. Of Dice and Meeples will be available to the public for free, so matters you don’t want publicly known should be discussed elsewhere. Please adhere to all the normal rules of public discourse: no libel, no inciting violence, no infringement of another’s copyright or trademark, and no pornography.
Zines, i.e. your individual contribution to a particular issue, should use reasonable page dimensions (if it's not roughly A4 or 8.5"×11" there should be a reason). Maximum zine length is 16 pages. Discussion of contemporary politics is discouraged but permitted with a maximum length for political content set at 2 pages. AI-generated material is not allowed. All artwork must be attributed to its creator, unless it is in the public domain. Zines should be in PDF format, but if that's a problem for you, get in touch and we may be able to sort something out.
When you submit your zine to Of Dice and Meeples, you are granting the APA a perpetual, non-exclusive right to publish your zine in a single issue of the APA, meaning that you retain the copyright to your work, and so you can publish it elsewhere, but you cannot force Of Dice and Meeples to unpublish your zine once it has been published.
The submission deadline for issue 2 is the start of 06 June 2026. The Ignorable Theme is "Racing Games".
Upcoming Ignorable Themes: Cooperative Games, Alpha Players, Deck Construction Games.
