The annual DURF Jam is back for its third year! A month to hang out with other creators and brew some fun supplements or adventures for DURF.

WTF is DURF?

DURF is a rules-light dungeon-fantasy tabletop RPG inspired by the best of both the old and the new school of TTRPGs. It's free to download and designed to be a bare-bones system you can stick things on top of without having to worry too much about it fucking up some obscure rule.

Check out the DURF Collection for a bunch of things folks have already made for DURF!

Jam Rules

1. Make whatever you want as long as it is at least tangentially related to DURF.
2. No nazis, terfs, bigots, etc. Go rot in a corner somewhere else. If you have to ask, it probably includes you.
3. No AI art. Just scribble something yourself (it's for fun, it doesn't have to be "good"), or check out the art resources below :)
4. You can charge whatever you want for your submission. You're worth it.

Optional Restriction and Theme

If you need some more restrictions to fuel your creativity, try to make something inspired by this year's theme or something that would fit on just one sheet of paper. Print on both sides, fold it, twist it, bop it, cut it, make a PocketMod, do whatever with it as long as it can be printed on a single sheet of A4 or Letter paper.

This year's optional theme is:

"Under Pressure"

Discord

If you're looking for a place to bounce around ideas or lurk to see what other folks are brewing, come hang out in the CULT OF THE LIZARD KING Discord!

Good luck, and don't forget to enjoy yourself :)

What about DURF: Expanded?

Some of you might be aware that an updated version of DURF is in the works under the working title "DURF: Expanded" and that there is an early version of it currently available on my Patreon. So this might raise the question of backwards compatibility: will things you make for this jam still be usable with this new expanded version of DURF when it releases in mid/late 2024? 

Short answer: Probably yes.

Long answer: DURF Expanded will be backwards compatible with original DURF in most regards without any conversion. There are however, small changes that might be a problem depending on how much the thing you make uses those parts of the rules. Here is a list of the biggest changes.

Of course, I'm always available for question in the Discord if you'd like to know more or need help :)
