Yes, I know, it's not my first jam. I asked if physical games are allowed, though.

Excuse me, but what do you mean by physical games?

Helios Marzocca152 days ago

To itch.io, physical games are TTRPGs, gamebooks, etc.

Whatever isn't a videogame, so both print-and-play games and games you can read on the screen but need you to play in real life, be it solo or with a role-playing table.

No, itch.io doesn't do that. It's a platform specifically for digital distributors. P/S I'm not an organizer.

I'll try to phrase it better because it's obvious there's some sort of linguistic barrier here. Yes, the physical games (TTRPGs, gamebooks and the likes) are DIGITALLY distributed on itch.io. There are currently 59,393 listed as I type this comment, they have a dedicated page https://itch.io/physical-games .

No worries though, I realized the different time zones are incompatible with my participation in the jam. Though I didn't quite get my question across to you, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Have a good jam.
