Powered by Sentinel is a system for creating games telling the story of extraordinary individuals and the events surrounding them, based on the game Sentinel by Meghan Cross. 

This jam is about creating games using the Powered by Sentinel system.

Jam Rules:

  • Create a game that uses the Powered by Sentinel system (you can find the SRD here.) Your game doesn’t need to follow the system exactly, what matters most is that it embodies the spirit of Powered by Sentinel games. Feel free to adapt the system to tell the story you want to tell!
  • Multiple Entries are allowed!
  • Keep safety, accessibility, and communication at the forefront of your designs!
    • Utilizing the TTRPG Safety Toolkit, curated by Kienna Shaw (@KiennaS) and Lauren Bryant-Monk (@jl_nicegirl) is highly recommended
    • Be sure to provide a plain text version if your game is not screen reader friendly. (You can use this tool to check for screen reader compatibility)
  • Be sure to include the legal language found in the SRD in your Powered by Sentinel  game and feel free to use the logo (which is available for download on the SRD itchio page.)
  • This game jam is just for fun and there will be no judging or prizes.
  • Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophones, and other bigots are not welcome to take part in this game jam or create any content based on my work. To borrow phrasing from Chris Bissette, if you have to ask whether this statement is about you, it is. Any games with bigotry or promotion of hatred towards marginalized groups will be removed.
  • You are encouraged to price your games so that you are properly compensated for your work - but it is not a requirement for submission. I also encourage providing community copies so that those facing financial hardship have the opportunity to play your games.
  • Feel free to shout about this jam, your ideas, and find others doing the same with the #SentinelJam tag and please tweet submissions to me at @meghanlynnFTW (and/or@SirensSongGames) so I can shout about them!
