The Jam is now over, but many hexes remain... See here for what the future holds.

Let's fill The Great Antarctic Hexcrawl map with TTRPG adventures!

Rules

1. Gotta use the Antarctica map in some way.
2. No bigots, nazis, transphobes, etc. 
3. No AI-generated 'art' or 'writing'.
4. Submissions should be licensed under CC-BY-SA or CC0.
5. Adventure content must be written for a game that can be played for free (i.e. free or PWYW, or with a fully-usable SRD).

Optional Guidelines

Any submission satisfying rules 1-5 is welcome, but I'd love to also collect entries into a free Antarctic Adventure Anthology. If you'd like to contribute to it, here are few additional guidelines:

1. Please let other participants know what hexes you are working on by posting in the Claim a Region thread in the community tab.
2. Hex keys should be written for systems that are roughly interoperable with the OSR 'lingua franca'. GMs using the anthology should be able to have players go from region to region without massive conversion headaches. (See system recommendations below).
3. Try to stay within one or two steps of 'standard dungeon fantasy'. High-, low-, sci-, grimdark-, fairy-tale-, weird-, psychedelic-fantasy, etc. are all good. 
4. Please include a hex key written in markdown with your submission, with a hex's ROW-COL index given as a level 3 heading, following the example below. (This is for ease of uniting entries into an anthology -- feel free to also do your own stand-alone layout).

Markdown Example

# The Name of Your Region
Maps, lore, summaries, encounter tables, bestiaries go here.
## Name of a Sub-region (optional)
### 225-151 
An eccentric hermit lives in a ramshackle hut. He is obsessed with the bizarre idea that this land was once covered by vast glaciers and will ramble about his theories to anyone who will listen.
### 225-152 Pndapetzim City
Bustling city carved out of a mesa. Most of the 2,108 citizens are Blemmyes, acephalous humanoids with eyes on their chests and mouths on their bellies.

But feel free to ignore all of this & submit anything that uses the GAH map and satisfies rules 1-5!
