With the release of the DELVE SRD I am opening the doors to all you creative Overseers, Keepers, and Commanders to share your ideas and creations with the DELVE community.

This could be something as simple as some new units like Dwarven Weasel Wranglers, Harpy Scouts, or Dark Elf Snipers.

Or it could be a bunch of new mechanics like Lava powered industry, mechanisation, or a rework of the morale system for RISE.

Don't worry about creating something polished and mechanically perfect, DELVE is a game about simulation and much like real life, can be messy at times. If its a fun idea, it's welcome here.

Quick Question, What Is DELVE?

Glad you asked, if you haven't played any of the map drawing games, you can go check them out here: https://blackwellwriter.itch.io/ or you can listen to Shut Up & Sit Down's podcast on DELVE for an example of play: https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/podcastle/podcast-135-the-solo-rpg-special/

Rules

Your creativity is the limit really. The only rules to note are the obvious legal and moral ones:

Don't reproduce content from any of the base games in your expansion. If you want to reference something, put a page reference.

Don't post anything racist, sexist, ableist, classist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted.

Anything that fails these two rules will be removed.

Oh and not a rule per-se but it's worth noting that DELVE is actually really popular with kids and families.

Optional Themes

Constraints breed creativity and I've always enjoyed having some challenges in game jams I've taken part in so here are some themes:

Industry, Cats, Light

Oh, and while this is a casual jam for fun, I may reach out to any stand-out entries to discuss publication.
