The Pufferfish Zine Template is a simple Affinity Publisher template for laying out your self-published roleplaying game zines and adventure modules. The PZT includes:

  • PDF versions of the template so you can check it out on devices without Affinity Publisher installed (or to open in other layout programs)
  • 2 page sizes (A5 and 5.5 x 8.5in)
  • complete set of text styles for headings, body text, margin notes, tables, inline quotes, and callouts
  • a text style specifically for map labels
  • two table formats: monochrome and alternating row colors
  • designed with four free open source fonts that you can download from Google Fonts: Grenze, Grenze Gotisch, Oswald, and Gentium Book Basic. (Please download and install the fonts before opening the templates.)
  • front and back cover pages
  • colophon page (copyright and logo page)
  • two types of two-column example layouts
  • helpful advice on how to use and edit the template elements 
  • a Creative Comrades v1.0 license to use the template to create your own works

NOTE: This template was made with Affinity Publisher version 1. It should work with version 2, but I can't test it myself until I can update to the latest version. 

I hope you find the template useful for your own projects. The path to becoming a great layout designer has about a thousand steps. (I don't mean to brag, but I'm probably already at step 4!) If you are just beginning your journey, I hope this template will give you a shortcut to skip ahead a couple of steps.
