I’m way behind on posting on this but a while back, I was honored to submit some feedback on a project that the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Special Collection’s team was working on. And now it’s out in the world! If you’ve been looking to add some fun new items to your RPG campaign (and maybe learn more about the Free Library’s archival collections too), check out their free zine:

Here’s some more information from the Free Library’s team (taken from a reddit post):

 A few years ago, the Free Library of Philadelphia presented an exhibition that featured D&D materials housed in the library’s special collections. The feedback was pretty awesome and ultimately led to the creation of a free catalog of items that can be used to supplement D&D and other TTRPG games.

The items in this catalog are based on materials in the Free Library’s Special Collections, and there’s a little info about the real objects that inspired us. We hope you’ll enjoy it!  If you do, share it widely! If you don’t, share it anyway. Publicity is publicity, right?  

In either case, if you’re willing to give us a little feedback, we’d be delighted.
