The Hearth Magazine features articles, games, and supplemental material for tabletop roleplaying games that are not Dungeons & Dragons, with a particular focus on games from independent and small press creators and publishers. The Hearth has nothing against D&D, it’s a fine game, but it already has plenty of support. We want to look at the rest of the hobby.

Hello! I appreciate your interest in writing for The Hearth Magazine! I’m excited and proud for what this magazine is and will become, and excellent articles are the foundation of that.

The Hearth Magazine is committed to publishing work by writers and creators from the global TTRPG community, as well as writers from groups traditionally marginalized within our industry and hobby. We especially encourage people of color, 2SLGBTQIA+, Indigenous people, and people living in the global south to pitch to us. You do not need to explain or justify your marginalization for us or make your pitch about your identity.

I want to help you get the best result from your submission, so please read about our Commitments as well as the guidelines below fully before submitting. If you have questions please contact me at TheHearthMagazine@Gmail.com. – Brent Jans, Editor-in-chief
