All the entries are being sold in a bundle between the 24th and 31st of October, which you can find here.



A Spooky Forged in the Dark Jam! All entries will be included in the Are you Afraid in the Dark Bundle, running this Halloween!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

- SupplementsHacks or Full Games are all welcome.

- Works in progress are fine, but projects must be in a playable state.

Submissions must be both Horror or Horror adjacent in theme. This might be an all ages game about spooky skeletons, a desperate survival horror romp, or anything in between. Please consider adding content warnings if you get into sensitive territory.

- Submissions must be based on the Forged in the Dark system. Change as much or as little as you like!

- Submissions close on the 30th of September, and your entry must be approved by you on Itch.io by the 10th of October, or it will be removed from the bundle when it launches.

- OPTIONAL: Include the text "Made for the Are you Afraid In the Dark Jam" on your submissions itch page or on your PDF for any new content you create. You can also use the Jam logo too if you'd like! You can find high res versions here!

IMPORTANT NOTE - THE FORGED IN THE DARK LICENSE

As with any Forged in the Dark project, you must abide by the terms of the Forged in the Dark Licensing Agreement. Make sure you include that licensing text! Anything violating these guidelines will be removed from the Jam.

Any material referencing the setting of Blades must be listed as Free or Pay What you Want. The SRD grants you license sell works based on the system, not the setting.


THE BUNDLE

The bundle will run from the 25th to the 31st of October.

- TBD (I'm thinking between $10-20), as it'll depend on how many submissions I receive. As this bundle is aimed at supporting FITD developers, revenue will be split evenly between all participants.

RESOURCES

- The Blades in the Dark SRD can be found here!

A few great resources on Itch for creating Forged in the Dark content include Thoughts on Forging in the Dark by Small Cool Games, Aesopian's Indesign Playbook TemplateDissonance's Affinity Playbook Template and Notwriting's Amateurs guide to hacking Blades in the Dark
