Hi, I'm Jellyfishlines and I'm turning 25 on December 17th, 2025! Instead of being Sad and Having A Quarter Life Crisis about it, I'm hosting a birthday jam like Superdillin and Viditya Voleti have done in the past. Make a game, have fun with it, submit it here. Only real rules are no AI and have fun making it!

No real theme but below is a list of things I love and adore and it will get kudos and Big Heart Eyes from me for years. 
also i know it says ttrpg but i'm playing a little loose with the term. prose and poetry can be a ttrpg. ttrpgs can be prose and poetry.

A SHORTLIST OF THINGS I WILL LOVE:
- Folklore, mythology, and world religion related things (the more obscure the better) 
- Horror genre art (ALIEN (1979), The Thing (1982), The Witch, Nosferatu, NOPE, etc.)
- 1920's experimental film
- Horny art (make a faggot game. I will owe you my life.)
- Horror folklore (old and modern)
- Gothic Horror
- Weird art movies. Also weird art in general.
- Zines and games about your own special interests
- Poetry
- Weird deep ocean animals
- Sad games. Games that make me sad. Please, they sustain me. 
- Games as light in the dark. About finding hope where there seems to be none.
- Obscure history
- Monsters as allegories for things that aren't monsters/people's actions
--- Alternatively: Monsters as protectors of community rather than a threat
