Welcome to the Majora's Mask Tabletop Jam

Everyone is invited to riff on whatever aspect of Majora's Mask they find most compelling, but here are some themes you might like exploring:

• Time loops
• Battles and puzzles
• Healing and trauma
• Connected communities
• Hope, in spite of everything

This jam has a Discord server for anyone who would like to connect with other designers or playtest their work with other creators.

Rules & Best Practices

• ✏️ Analog (tabletop/physical) games are the only type of submission permitted for this jam. If you would like to share digital games that match the theme, please do so using the community tab or Discord server rather than as a submission.
• 🤖 No AI-generated content is permitted for submissions to this jam, including art or writing.
• 🙏 Credit inspirations and assets. All fonts and artwork must be used legally and attributed appropriately.
• 🍄 Do not use Nintendo assets or intellectual property. This jam is for games inspired by Majora's Mask, but we strongly recommend presenting it as a standalone work. Nintendo is litigious and it would be a shame to see a beautiful piece of art disappear.
• 🫥 Unfinished work and early drafts are totally welcome. Not everything needs to be polished before submitting!
• 💸 Set your own price, but we strongly encourage leaving some community copies so everyone participating in the jam can celebrate your work. Speaking of which:
• 🎉 Hype other people's work! The best thing you can give someone is your time. Make space to celebrate the submissions to this jam in the same way you would want your own work to be celebrated.
• 🤝No discriminatory stuff. Any submissions to this jam should take care to avoid content that is homophobic, xenophobic, racist, transphobic, or otherwise damaging to marginalized people and/or communities. Just be nice, yeah?

Bundle

Once this jam concludes, all entries that meet the guidelines will be invited to a bundle. (Totally elective; nobody is obligated to participate.) The bundle will run for a few months and be priced somewhere between 10 and 20 USD, depending on the quantity of submissions. Proceeds will be split among all participants.
