Voidspace Dispatches: November 2025 - small hauntings, revolutionary trains and an ant apocalypse

As the nights draw in and the air begins to sharpen, now is the time to snuggle up warm and stay home. We here at the Voidspace are delighted to oblige, as we present three interactive delights that can be experienced from the great indoors.

Your Void in Chief has been taking advantage of some home time, which means that we are thrilled to launch our first new edition of Voidspace Zine since the beginning of the year: Strange Play: The Voidspace TTRPG Special!

Hauntings and backstories, trains and revolutions, duets and radical love, an apocalypse through the eyes of an ant: this collection of lo-fi experimental tabletop games will show you new ways to play and see the world.

Thanks to your support, we are able to make this the first paying issue of the zine. If you’d like to help us continue to do this (and snag bonus content, priority booking, and…er…hot sauce), you can support us on Patreon.

You can also catch a new podcast from the creator of cult interactive classic ha ha ha ha ha ha, and learn how to make your own Jubensha.

Get cozy, dig in, and play.

The Void loves you!
