I also had questions about this. I have several potential projects for this jam, but the one I was planning to go with might not fit the requirements of the jam. The basic premise was to take some of the approaches and ideas from the mentioned media (House of Leaves, Hill House) and present them in a setting that is not a house, but still very haunted by ourselves and society; a dying shopping mall.

Is this too much of a stretch? 

I'll admit this post brought a smile to my face. Thank you for the warm reception. I'd love to hear how your game goes!

This might be what convinces me to check it out

I've never played Dagger Heart but this is so up my alley it hurts.

Simple, straight forward, delightful and effective.

I'm a big fan of Depth Crawls and I just wanted to say it's really impressive that you were able to distill it down to a pamphlet format.

Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate the feedback and I'm thrilled to hear that I made it to your "to run" folder!
As far as suggestions go, you're totally right about the shades, I kinda forgot about them, haha. I have some items/ details about Nod on the back of the pamphlet, should I include more?

Thank you! I'm glad the idea resonated with you!

I was one of the playtesters on this game. Just wanted to say that I had a great time! I was really interested by the way the game incorporated secret agendas and player versus player gameplay into the PBTA framework. It fit perfectly with the political drama genre.

This will be a perfect game for anyone who's a fan of pretty much any HBO show.

A very thoughtful review ! Thank you!

Thanks!

Such a fun concept, I'm excited to give it a try!

Played this with friends and has a great time. Brilliant blend of humor and despair, with a dose of surrealism.

Can't wait to see this develop. And I can't wait to hack it. So many smart concepts.

Big fan of this one! Provides everything you need to create tense tinderbox of a situation.

I suppose this means stability pylons have officially entered the Liminal Horror - Third party cannon, haha.

Glad you like it so far! I think the Voidcrawl procedure works well in most cases, but I really wanted to sink my teeth into the original format as provided by Gardens of Ynn.

Thank you so much! This is very motivating!

Thank you! I'm excited to hear how it goes when you do it!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Thanks

Thank you! I appreciate it!

It's been really cool to watch this come together. Can't wait to see the final project!

Thank you for the kind review!

Just got in my submission under the wire! Here it is: https://capacityforwonder.itch.io/uncanny-inc-playbook-demo

Thank you Courtney for putting this together. And thank you everyone else for participating! Your submissions all look fantastic!

I'm in the process of polishing my entry and an extension would be really appreciated!

Sign me up!

Thanks! I'm glad you discovered playbooks! They're a great tool!

Here are some of the playbooks that I'll be submitting for the game jam. They're for the game that I'm currently working on; Uncanny Inc. The game is a hack of Belonging Outside Belonging that tells stories about office-place relationships with a fantastical edge.  I've been working on this project for a while, and this Jam is a great reason to finish these playbooks! Feedback is appreciated

Sounds neat! Would it focus on the player having one special animal companion or several at the same time?

Looking good!

I'd be down for either! Whichever is easiest for you.

Love the Twin Peaks vibes. I'm curious to see how it translates to a megadungeon!

Thanks! Glad to hear it! Can't wait for this to start!

Hello! I just found this game jam and I'm looking forward to it! I've been playing around with making a Belonging Outside Belonging game for a while now, and I think this would really help me get the playbooks written and out into the world! Would something like that work? Also, considering how BOB works, should I submit the Setting Elements sheets as well, since they're modeled after playbooks? Or would that be considered something different?

I'm glad you like them! They were a blast to write.

Here is my Submission, a hack of Lasers and Feelings. First time submission, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
