Best-Selling DCC Zines of 2022
Best-Selling DCC and MCC Zines of 2022 It’s time to turn our eye back on the year 2022 with a focus on one of the most popular third-party products, the zine! We’ve compiled a list of the best-selling zines without separating them out by product line, so this list contains releases for both DCC and MCC in a single review. In past years we have used the aggregate sales of an entire zine line to rank best sellers. This means zines with more issues invariably rise to the top. Starting last year, we’re instead ranking based on the single best-selling issue of each zine. This gives newer zines a chance to break into the top 10. In addition, we have to consider the place of compilations in the rankings. Over the years, some publishers have released books that compile the individual zine issues. To keep the zine rankings true to the original intent – which is the zine format – we have opted to not include the compilations as part of the rankings (such as Gongfarmers Almanac, or the Tales From the Smoking Wyrm 3-volume set, for example).

HOBONOMICON #3 #2 Macabre Vol. 1 DCC’s first zine dedicated to b-movie-inspired horror and mayhem. Macabre Volume I is 42 pages of horror inspired by Troma, Full Moon Pictures, Roger Corman, Hammer Horror, and more. Inside, you will find new optional rules, a class inspired by an 8-bit NES vampire killer, the world’s most comprehensive random werewolf generator, and details about a new horrific setting, Nekrovania. There are also tips for running a horror-themed game within the confines of DCC, new monsters, and a drink recipe to calm your nerves. MACABRE VOL. 1 PRINT + PDF #3 – Hexanomicon Issue #1 The Hexanomicon isn’t a setting of its own, but rather a tool to help you create your own setting. It uses stickers of hex...
