What is the Up All Night Jam?

Hi there, thanks again for joining us for this wild ride! It is 11pm PDT Friday Sept, 25th and you’re about to stay up ALL NIGHT to make a really cool game! 

The Basics

• You have 9 hours to complete your game, submissions close at 8 AM PDT Sept, 26th.
• Your finished product must either be screen reader friendly or you need to create a plain text version to submit alongside the main piece. If you’re not sure how to do this make sure you touch base with us.
• After Up All Night Jam is over, you’re free to do whatever you want with your game! You retain all rights to the game in its entirety and can publish it for profit or whatever else you may want to do! We do ask that you include this statement in the credits or on the product listing:
  “This game was created as a part of the Up All Night Jam with Off the Table and SuperQueero.”

Required Content

• Your game can be a 1 or 2 page rpg, no more no less. Pages should be 8.5x11in (portrait or landscape).
• Theme: THE SEA, your game must somehow be tied to the sea.
• Phrase: "WHAT LIES BENEATH" This phrase must appear somewhere in your game in any capacity.
• Mechanic: Your game must either utilize some number of D6 or BE DICELESS.
• Your game must be suited for play between a GM or facilitator and at least 3-5 players.
• Safety Tools must be mentioned, incorporated, or utilized in the game itself.

That’s it! We hope you create something you’re proud of.  Above all though, have fun, and good luck!
