This is a game jam for TTRPG designers to test ideas, experiment with concepts, and maybe find their next big idea! Every month there will be a new Jam with new themes and challenges.

There's also the Reddit if you're so inclined.
In allegory, storms represent upheaval both in the physical world, and in the personal and metaphysical lives of those affected. Storms bring energy into systems, knocking down dead trees to make room for seedlings, dispersing nutrients down river, and bringing seasonal rains that engender new growth. Nearly every religion prominently venerates some kind of storm god. Notably the reoccurring (though dubiously connected) "Sky Father" motif.
I think that gives you enough to chew on. Remember: interpretation is key. These themes are thought starters, but let your mind take you where it needs to go.
Include a mechanic for deceit and trickery. As a bonus make this a core part of the game and usable between players.
This jam is a continuous series of jams that run until the heat death of the universe (aspirational). Every month has a new theme and an extra challenge for designers. The idea is that it’s always here, so even if you don’t have time or aren’t interested in the theme of the month, you can pick it up on the next one!
The Eternal Jam is meant to be an outlet for experimentation within the TTRPG space. These projects are supposed to be tiny, quick, and creative. Most probably won’t be fully fleshed out. But every so often, the spark of an idea will catch and a new project will be born from the breeding ground of the Eternal Jam.
Anything, in theory. Explicit content should be tagged appropriately, but other than that: games, settings, waxing prose masquerading as playable content. Really anything goes.
One pagers, micro-zines, booklets, a loose collection of notes. It really doesn’t matter. It should be small ideally. The original idea was handmade zines, so it should fall somewhere around there. Check out Electric Zine Maker if you want a cool tool!
I don’t know. I think it’s art, but who am I to say?
Draw it yourself. Use creative commons images. I don’t know, make a collage? Are crayons still a thing? You’ll figure it out, I believe in you.
