Fallen is a tabletop RPG for the Baroque & Grim. Set in a strange and mysterious 17th-19th century, it encourages exploration of the supernatural, horrific, or historic. It is a game meant to ooze atmosphere, strangeness, and mystery. Find ruins, cemeteries, towers, farmsteads and dark woods. Steal Incantations from Magicians, take contracts for hunting a terrifying creature.

This jam is technically unranked - However, I will be selecting what I think are top 3 and mailing prizes to those entrants.
Prizes not yet determined.
"Judging" will be a subjective call based on what I see, what I like, the spirit of the entry.

This jam is not open to submissions that espouse and celebrate shitty social behaviors - you know what that mean.
