I've just uploaded a new version of the character sheet, with quick reference rules included! Perfect for convention games and new players!

The vibes in this are fantastic! Super curious to see what else the finished product brings to the table!

There's a beautifully optimistic ethos in this project. I absolutely love the idea of the adventure being an expedition of learning and discovering; and of cultivating nature through its recovery from humanity's last generation's mistakes. 

This looks really fun, I'll need to give it a try when I get some downtime. A lot of solo journaling games seem heavy on the journaling and light on the game, so I'm really excited to try one that doesn't hand wave the mechanical side.  

I love the setup for this, and the polish is top notch. I'd love to see more content set in this world.

I'm not sure I called it out in the rules, but this is balanced to a level 2 party of 4-6 players. During the playtest I was able to run, the players used some clever spell work to kite the cadaver leeches in the undercroft to the entryway and make that fight easier. If they duke out that fight, and are in bad shape before leaving the stone ruins, it may be worth nudging them toward the potions until they find them, just for survivability. Please let me know how it plays. I only got to playtest the first half within the jam timeline. 

The Garden's kind of an optional location. Ideally, the point crawl will play a little different each time. 

I'm glad you found it intriguing. Thanks for the kind words!

I'm trying to upload a project to the jam, but it's saying the Jam already ended. I thought this was running until Midnight tonight. 

This is impressively comprehensive. You've clearly done a lot of research on the topic, and put together a fantastic resource for worldbuilders. 

This is really interesting. I love the idea of gamifying tasks as a motivator. I hope everyone's frogs get home okay!

It's cool you were able to do so much in a month! I really like the Welcome to the System page. The design decisions and intentions for the system set the stage well for understanding the rest of the book. 

Loving the solarpunk ethos on a steampunk setting. 

Wow. This a huge project for a one month jam. The worlbuilding is really cool, and I love seeing the different ways people use decks of  playing  cards as tabletop RNG. 

I gotta see if I can talk my game group into trying this  one. It seems like it'll be really fun to play. I love the setting!

Yes! Love to see more paleolithic adventures in the TTRPG space. It's such an underserved genre, and  I feel like I'm eating good this game jam!

When I have time, I really want to run this a dozen times and try to make  a Mothership adventure out of the results. This is a  crazy cool concept!

The way you  laid out this game oozes style! I did have one question about resolving confrontations, are the players trying to exceed the revealed playing card with their die roll? 

Rad. I love stone age adventure fiction, and the lens  of experiencing paleolithic invention through LARP is incredibly cool and appealing. Love this.

When the first atomic bombs were being tested, the sternest naysayers worried that the blast would literally ignite earth's atmosphere, burning away all breathable air on the planet. This game looks at an alternate history where they were right. Build characters and explore the crumbling ruins of a breathless world as you look for the tools of survival, and precious oxygen.

I was glad to have a reason to finally make my first zine! Looking forward to what the Eternal Jam has in store next!

Worldbuilding by tags sounds really interesting.

I'm trying to come up with 36 unique spa locations. A recent Troika! game I ran ended up going on a spa crawl, and I loved that idea and want to flesh out a full book of odd and interesting spas and relaxation centers with interesting encounters and statted NPCs.
