Rule 1 of the jam is as follow:
- Write an analogue role-playing game (such as TTRPG or LARP) in 24 words.
- Analogue games are games with human facing instructions, contrasting video games with code executed by a computer.
- The rules/mechanics need to be in 24 words, but the game may have a separate title and introduction.
- It should be a standalone game, without the need for other game texts.
Most people are submitting their games in PDF, PNG and/or .TXT files.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that in UK and most countries, works don't enter the public domain until 70 years after the author's death.
One 1928 work that caught my eye is The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer, who passed away in 1974.
For authors who published their work in their 20s and 30s and live into their 70s and 80s, their work published in 1928 still wouldn't enter the public domain internationally.
I guess I can still make a game inspired by The Masqueraders, but it won't be legal for me to use its contents.
Thanks for your interest!
I kept getting distracted by new projects, but Taels overhaul is indeed something I want to finish for a long time.
I have made a lot of notes on the lore of the game, but never got to write them down in a coherent way. I have also got some new character art commissioned and they are sitting in the project folder.
My plan is to expand the lore of the game without changing too much of the core mechanics, and crowdfund for a print run.
(Perhaps I can write the lore in small chunks as devlogs.)
I have done a draft of my game, but I am currently waiting for someone to look at it for sensitivity purpose. It is a deeply personal game about my exploration of identity. One of the main themes of my game is about how one's identity is a continuous struggle between one's internal truth and the imposed social norms. The theme does say something about identities in general, and I also have imposter syndrome with regards to my own identity. Therefore, I am not quite ready to upload it yet.
