Hello everyone! It's great to see so much excitement for this little idea I had. If folks have any questions or thoughts about the Jam, feel free to share them here and I will reply as soon as I am able. Just to recap some of the questions I've been asked in other places:

You are welcome to collaborate with as many people as you like as freely as you like
This jam is for physical "games" as a medium, but multimedia submissions are welcome
Your submission should have an itch.io page, however, it is fine for elements of your submission (such as videos or digital assets) to be hosted on other sites. Just be sure they are linked on the first page.

If I like the concept, am I allowed to make it a real game afterward?

Michelle JonesHost12 days ago(+3)

The short answer is, I am not a cop and I will not stop you. If you feel inspired to turn something into a full game, then go for it. I would just discourage people from intentionally using this jam to create a rough draft or a proof of concept for something they are already intending to complete.

Hey there! I like the idea, where can I find a team ?

Michelle JonesHost11 days ago

You are welcome to create a new community topic to seek collaborators or offer your skills. Other than that, I don't have any way to facilitate finding a team.

I was curious, would something like various disconnected/assorted pages of a full rulebook (that is both fictional and doesn't exist) count? What about something like a "example of play" section, where the mechanics are referred to and vaguely shown, but you don't really get the full context or mechanics of the game?

Michelle JonesHost7 days ago(+1)

Both of those examples would count, yes!

I'm eager to participate.

I'm thinking of creating a rule book, found footage style; to that end, dDo you have any resources, or suggestions, for producing an old/vintage look? Perhaps in the style of Vermis?

Michelle JonesHost6 days ago

I am not a visual artist, so I am not sure where to start looking for something like that. I would recommend creating another discussion thread where hopefully others can offer suggestions.

That's alright. Thank you for your response though

Hello, English is not my language. Can I use a AI translator to translate my text?

Michelle JonesHost5 days ago

This would still be against the rules. AI translation is also unreliable.

Non-English submissions are allowed if you are more confortable with that.

Hi! I love this idea! does it have to be a TTRPG? I don't know much about them, but if it has to be, I can take the challenge.

Also, do you think there's a posibility of having a discord in the future, for easier communication?

Michelle JonesHost4 days ago

Yes, your jam submission does need to be TTRPG themed, but because of the open-ended nature of the prompt, the actual format can be just about anything.

I hadn't considered creating a discord before (honestly, I was expecting this jam to get a fraction of the interest it generated). I don't have the capacity to manage another server myself right now, but if I can find someone I trust to do admin, then I will think about it.

Awesome! I'm already thinking about what can I do, I have a few games in mind and a couple of them seem like something that's very hard to actually make, so this would be perfect for those!
