This is my first jam, and I'm using it to finish an idea I've had for a storygame/ Naritive TTRPG I've had for a while, so I'm currious if anyone else is taking that route.
I've already put in a solo journal game I more or less finished right before the jam started (like 2 days before the 31st artist sent me the final sketches) and thinking of doing another pen and paper style thing. RPGs are very much allowed and some of the best stuff from previous years included some cool as heck adventures and the like!
I'm not doing one this time, but I'd love to try my hooves at TF board and card games sometime soon. I typed ups some rules for a TF-themed trick-taker recently, but I kinda need to actually test it out to see how it plays, on top of making/commissioning (/asking permission to use?) some card art, haha
because I'm too easily distracted, I'm doing a different entry. This is a firebrands framework game based off the following blurb:
You are representatives of noble families invited to attend a Masquerade at the court of Modus, the Fey Noble. To refuse would be both an unthinkable breach of protocol and a far more dangerous course of action. But by playing the mercurial fey Lord's game, each of you stands to gain much for both yourselves and your families.
The trick to the Masquerade is that each of you must carry five trinkets along with your mask. As other guests wheel and deal, you will almost certainly find yourself losing them. For each one you lose, you find yourself assuming a form that matches the face behind the mask, and not just the one you donned for this event. But such changes are the delight of your host and it is said that he offers boons to those changed as such as well as those who have gathered many trinkets.
Furthermore, promises made in the court of the fey have far greater weight, ensorcelling even those not present into upholding them. But the night will end, as such nights do, with a grand gesture of your host. You see, every night he chooses one of his guests who has most earned his favor and attention and invites them to stay at his Court. And one simply does not refuse the invitations of the Fey
