Thank you so much everyone! There have been so many amazing submissions, it's been fantastic to see everyone's projects. Even though there are no prizes for this jam, I will definitely be reviewing and talking about the submissions online in the coming weeks and would enjoy seeing any of you doing the same. I don't know yet if this will be a yearly event, but with everyone expressing interest, I'm definitely considering it. 

Until then, I can't wait to not play all of your games!

Thank you for participating! This jam has been a joy.

I think that fits the spirit of the game jam just fine. They're a game element but not a full game itself. 

I'm very interested in the pitch so far! I'd definitely read more, I really dig the old school forum vibe.

There just needs to be *an* itch.io page. Anything that you post or upload to other sites should be linked on the itch page, but no files have to be uploaded to itch.

Yes! A soundscape would be fantastic!

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. 

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

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

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. 

Both of those examples would count, yes!

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.

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. 

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. 
   

I've added a handful more. Go ahead and grab one!

I absolutely love Princess with a Cursed Sword, so I had to write my own Princess Sword game. Thank you for making this SRD, it is a fantastic resource!

Currently, there is no way to save a co-op bundle as a draft, meaning the entire thing has to be put together in one sitting. There is also no way to edit certain vital bundle information while it is awaiting approval, meaning if there are any mistakes, the bundle has to be deleted and remade from scratch. The ability to draft and edit would be a major QoL improvement, even if making edits required the bundle to be re-approved by participants.
