This jam is now over. It ran from 2022-04-13 04:00:00 to 2022-05-13 04:00:00. View 53 entries

Update April 13th: changed the submission window from unselectable multiple choice to an open-ended form


For 52 weeks, I have been generating prompts to write new playbooks in the Wanderhome fan server.

It seems like it's high time to celebrate what everyone has made.

This jam runs on the same rules as the jams in the server: take your time, the prompts will be here when you're ready, and we can't wait to see what you make. The only hard rules are be respectful and be kind. I reserve the right to remove any entry. You made something in the first week of themes and want to show it off? Great that's so cool! You didn't know what Wanderhome was but decided that this sounded neat and made something? Super, welcome! And everything in between. It's all chill, I'm sure what you made is wonderful.
