Added a bird-themed NPC pack, including five new avian adversaries, three feathered friends, (a partridge in a pear tree) and a couple of new illustrations. Plaintext version also included. Cheers, and happy birbday.

Awesome, thanks :)

Hey there. Just wondering if I can submit a game about animals generally, if I also include a bird specific add-on made for the jam? I recently did this for the Otter Chaos Jam, with an otter-based character pack. If that's too off theme, no worries, excited to check out the submissions either way. Cheers :)

Created a bonus character pack for the jam, aka my "Oops, All Otters" expansion. Enjoy, fellow otter-heads.

Perfect. Thanks 👍

Hey. Love the idea for the jam. Are games about animals in general welcome? I'm thinking I'll work up something otter specific as a small add-on, but the game I have in mind doesn't focus on otter characters specifically. If that's too far out of theme, no worries, excited to check out the submissions either way. Cheers :)

Beautifully done

Done! A text only version was added to the downloads. 

Thanks for the comment and the spooky podcast reqs

Thanks so much, for both the kind words and the thoughtful feedback.

The system is something I've been working on for a little while, with a number of concepts / settings in mind. I have a bad habit of over writing, so when I saw the LGZJam I was inspired to see how streamlined I could make it while still being legible. Glad that the attempt was successful over all, and I definitely agree about where it's weaker points are. Going to be keeping all this in mind as I flesh it out in other projects.

Thanks again, appreciate it!

Used it for a two-page horror rpg. Love this font.

Thanks! This is super dorky, but the format was a nod to the paper placemats you used to get at dinners, hence two individual flat sheets. They could also be tri-folded like a brochure, (with only minor wonkiness) and I think during actual play only the one sheet (with Challenge Rolls, etc.) would actually be needed.

So glad you like it. I'd love to have a translated version, and will happily credit you when I post it.

I haven't thought too much about the specifics of the world, but I was picturing something with similar vibes to the Bone comics, if that helps. As for running it, I recommend Mutual Aid Missions for Small Towns by @OneTapAdventures, also submitted to the Mutual Aid Jam. Any of the scenarios in it could be tweaked to be about animal communities, or left as is.

Thanks again, and please share any feedback if you decide to run it. Cheers :)

So glad to hear it. Just reading the post now, and checking out Of Yarn and Bone. Thanks for sharing.

unfamiliar is a ttrpg where the players take on the role of former magic familiars, who must now venture into the world as a pack of stray animals. Combining a rules light system with a creative, open-ended magic mechanic, the game is designed to promote rich storytelling while still capturing a bit of old-school fantasy flair. A modified depthcrawl system, dubbed a horizon-crawl, also helps to flesh out a world to explore, with an emphasis on using distant landmarks to drive gameplay, and embracing the unique challenges and viewpoint of non-human characters.

unfamiliar is currently in open play-test, and any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thanks!
