It's also super casual, so feel free to only do some or one prompt, and in any order. I originally challenged myself to do one everyday for a month, but life quickly hit me with a huge curveball and I'm only just now getting the time back to pick it up again, so there's definitely no pressure!

Heya! While this jam is super casual & open, the main constraint is to create modules based on the prompts, so I'd prefer people refrain from submitting preexisting creations. Always excited to meet other creators experimenting with MOSAIC though, its a lot of fun. I'll definitely check out your creations and urge others to do the same. 🙂

This design was actually slightly inspired by mxtp by the way. Really liked the idea of the card doubling as a prop that visually resembled what the characters were holding. 🙂

hah 😆

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making it

The duration of the Jam has been extended to three months instead of two to accommodate late joins, making the new deadline September 21st 2023. Remember this is a casual jam, so you're not required to do all 30 prompts, or do them in the listed order. You're perfectly welcome to pick your favorite prompt and submit that. 

Next, I'm a few days behind on my own submissions as family obligations over the holiday week/end kept me from daily work. I plan on picking things back up shortly & getting back into the flow. 

Hey all, I'm running a casual TTRPG jam called MOSAIC Daily

The jam includes 30 prompts for creating a short, MOSAIC Strict compliant TTRPG supplement. I'm challenging myself to make and publish one every day (or as close to it as possible). As it's a casual jam you're welcome to all, some, one, or none at all. You an also skip any prompts you're not interested in or do them in any order. The main purpose of the jam is an exercise in creative restraints as well as expanding the overall availability of modular, system-independent rpg content in the wild.

If you're interested in participating or just checking out what gets made be sure to check it out! 

I'll personally be releasing all of my submissions for free under CC-BY, but since it isn't ranked you're free to submit them however you wish.

 I will only be disqualifying submissions that intentionally ignore the MOSAIC Strict requirement (or are just blatant spam), and if enough people show interest I'd be willing to extend the submission deadline to accommodate late joins.

What is MOSAIC Strict?

For a full primer on the MOSAIC Strict design philosophy, make sure to read the blog article Nothing at the Bottom: MOSAIC Strict RPG Design by Michael Prescott. It's an approach to creating modular rules text that can be slotted into most rules-lite systems or combined to create a uniquely custom experience. To briefly summarize, the acronym MOSAIC stands for: 

• Modular: Any game text that explicitly claims to bean entire, complete RPG is not Mosaic Strict.
• Optional: Any game text that describes itself as necessary for play is not Mosaic Strict.
• Short: Mosaic Strict game texts are no more than 1500 words.
• Attested: Mosaic Strict texts say they are Mosaic Strict.
• Independent: Mosaic Strict texts do not refer to the mechanics or quantified state in any other game text.
• Coreless: assume nothing else is in use beyond free-form play
