Celebrate this July with the spirit of independence and creativity! Shadowdark Independence Jam, hosted by Baron de Ropp of Dungeon Masterpiece, invites all TTRPG enthusiasts to create something extraordinary for the Shadowdark universe.
Shadowdark, the independent tabletop role-playing game, calls upon your innovative minds to construct an adventure or a captivating game supplement. Your creation could be a new spell set, a ferocious group of monsters, or list of powerful magic items. Perhaps, you'd like to write a thrilling adventure that leads brave explorers into realms unknown. You decide!
This two-week long game jam is an opportunity to boost positive discussions about Shadowdark and illuminate its potential. Let's create, collaborate and celebrate the beauty of independent games together!

The winner of this jam will receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card, Limited edition Green Dungeon Masterpiece Dice, as well as their choice of a physical copy of the Shadowdark Core Rules, or all physical editions of the Cursed Scroll Shadowdark Zine!
