The Theme

July Jam's theme is "WITHIN A VAST AND ANCIENT STRUCTURE" -- Games that take place mainly within the confines of a castle, fortress, temple, a web of man-made tunnels, or any other such structure of ages past. What you interpret from the theme, how you choose to follow through with it, and what kind of game you wish to make -- these are all up to you.

What?

Game Design Guild's July Jam 2021 (GDGJJ21 for short, pronounced out loud like you're suffering a stroke or have something stuck in your throat) is a tabletop game design event hosted by and for the members of the GDG community. We've done some stuff like this in the past, but this time around it's meant to be a more relaxed experience, with an actual theme this time!

The event will take place for all of July, and everyone will be forced invited to participate following a specific theme, presented at the top of this page. It can be anything, provided that it's a tabletop game (RPG, boardgame, cardgame, or wargame). Anything you want. You could even collaborate with other people if you want to. No rules other than sticking to the theme.

When the event ends, we can... I dunno. Maybe we'll vote on some wacky awards! If I can think of any!!
