You're watching a film, reading a book, or listening to a podcast, whatever floats your boat really; a minor character just sticks out to you, you fall in love with the scenery of a location, something just really tickles your fancy... Problem is that thing is only ever given 5 seconds of screen-time because its "inconsequential to the narrative and the heroes of the story".
As consumers we're often too caught up in the action of a narrative that we leave little time to properly explore some very interesting parts of fictional worlds we consume. We've all been there at some point or another, that's why the aim of this content jam is for creators to explore and expose the interesting and forgotten facets of worlds we know and love.
When preparing and ideating your submission you should aim to answer a simple question or explore an interesting and specific facet of a chosen world. Write out a prompt to explore and make sure to include the prompt in the finished product. If you don't want to explore a specific world that's okay too, just try to stay true to the premise of this Jam. Here are some copyright free examples of prompts below you might like to use.
This is a casual content jam, any type of submission is welcome, this includes but is not limited to: videogames, analogue games, ttrpgs, resources, art, poetry, prose, drama, anything at all so long as it fits the prompt. Just try to have fun, enjoy yourself, and maybe even learn something in the process!
