Many are the fearsome tales that one can share among friends in the month of ghosts and spooks, circling the campfire and taking turns to tell stories that may or may not be true. This Jam's goal is to capture that feeling, but using games instead of stories.

The rules are simple: you have two weeks to write a halloween-themed tabletop game (any kind of game--but roleplaying games are encouraged for this occasion) that your group can learn and play quickly--enough that many short games can be played back to back over the course of a halloween gaming night, each of them acting as the stories around the campfire.

To achieve this, this jam has a special rule: your submission must fit in a single Letter-sized or A4 page

Should the time and challenge prove too easy, you can submit as many games as you want. This isn't a competition.

But we all know that at the end of the night, someone is bound to have told the scariest story among them all.

Good luck.
