It's been a whole year since Draw Steel came out, so let's celebrate by creating some cool stuff together! Explore the Timescape and make something that represents Draw Steel's first anniversary.

The Jam

Create something that fits the theme: One Year of Draw Steel.

This edition of Jams of the Timescape doesn't tell you what to make! You're free to submit any Draw Steel-compatible product as long as it is on theme and follows the rules below:

• Must be a PDF document no longer than 2 pages (A4 or US Letter)
• Must be an original creation for the jam, no prior published material
• Free or pay-what-you-want for the duration of the jam, including the voting phase
• Only one submission per person/group
• Follow the Draw Steel Creators License
• No NSFW content
• No AI may be used
• No misogynistic, racist, discriminatory, homophobic, transphobic, imperialist, or any other bigoted content

Finally, we encourage you to join the official Jams of the Timescape Discord server to talk to other creators: https://discord.gg/fj6x9NUJAP

Voting

Another change from past editions is the voting system: this time entries will be voted on by you, the jammers! Once voting opens, each submitter (and their contributors) will be assigned five entries at random to read and rate based on the criteria below:

• Usability: How well would it work at the table? How easy to reference is it?
• Creativity: How original is it? Does it bring anything new to the game?
  
• Enjoyment: How exciting would it be to use this at the table? How much did you like it?
• Theme: How well does it fit the theme? Does it make you think of DS's anniversary?

You'll notice that there is no criteria for art or layout and this is on purpose. For this edition we're trying to focus on the words, not the presentation — as long as the text is readable, your submission is welcome!

Prizes

The top three submissions will be awarded prizes, graciously provided by Tabletop Nonsenseverse!

• First place: All currently published issues of the Blacksmith's Guild PLUS a 12-month subscription to Tabletop Nonsenseverse's Patreon.
• Second place: All currently published issues of the Blacksmith's Guild.
