CYST
A downloadable zine
All has come to ruin.
Castles crumble into dust as Mother Earth slowly dies
An age of wondrous monsters and weary heroes has come,
an age rife with adventure and peril...
CYST is a game about making your own fantasy world! Jam-packed with D8 tables for you to roll on, create your own settings, adventures, monsters, dungeons, treasures, and heroes! It's 16 pages long, A6, and bursting with colour and evocative collage!
Once your world is complete, get a few friends together or explore it on your own! CYST includes an accessible and simple coin-flip system to add peril and wonder to your adventures! I've also written a load of adventures for it, so check them out :)

I've also included some older versions of CYST to this page: the original one-page version from August 2020 as well as the original zine version from November 2020. They have different art and layouts to the third edition, and are missing some tables and text.

yo Jam, not sure how to contact you (no longer on IG?) reach out please, PR
Yo! Yeah I've deleted Instagram, I've still got you on Discord so just messaged you there <|: )
Thanks for checking up on me, honestly means a lot :)
Hi Jamzilla, sorry for posting this on the wrong itch page but is Treasures of T'urokk available digitally anywhere? I purchased a physical copy and would love to buy a pdf version?
Hi Fasssq! I hope you're enjoying the physical copy! That was the first zine I ever put out, so I hope it stands the test of time! It has its own itch page here: https://jamzilla.itch.io/tot
Given that you've already got a physical copy I'd be more than happy sending you the digital stiff for free, let me know your email and I'll send a download link over to you! <|: )
Thank you, I've just purchased a copy. FYI that page seems to have completely escaped search engine results.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the digital version! That's strange it didn't come up on any searches, I'll look into that thanks for letting me know!
Jamzilla has some of the best random tables for adventure seeds and world building in the TTRPG world. CYST is a great place to start!
Thank you so much! Iβm glad you like my work :)
Bought a physical copy! Can't wait to use this to supplement other games/prompt creativity
Thanks so much for ordering a copy, I honestly really appreciate it! Iβll send you an email soon when Iβve posted it out to you, and I hope you enjoy it once it arrives!
I glom this onto my own Heartseeker and I'm fairly sure I've seen what heaven looks like. Great work!
Amazing! I always use Hearseeker whenever I run a proper dungeon-crawl, so that honestly means a lot! <|:^)
Shoot! I didnβt see the tip $5 for shipping! I am buying again!
Amazing! Thank you so much, and for getting Bile Keep as well honestly it means a lot :D Iβll have to put in some extra goodies as well, thank you fr :)
