Hi all, I wanted to let you know that itchio has gotten back to me about taking all the games from our game jam and putting them into a charity bundle on January 27! (YAY!) After this has happened, I will send an email asking for you to approve your submission/s. We will have to prune unapproved submissions so we can start fundraising for Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota on Feb 9. More info to come. 

Anyway, thank you all for joining the bundle! I can't believe 353 people have joined and submitted 754 games! We have ten days left of the jam so please keep sharing the jam link with your network so we can gather everyone who wants to be included! 

- Jes 

Many of you joined the charity bundle before we had a confirmed recipient of funds so I wanted to give you all an update that Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota has accepted being the recipient of our bundle and is onboarded on itchio. I've reached out to itchio to let them know my deadlines so we can launch the bundle on Feb 9! 

Thank you all for your support, please keep sharing the jam link with your network so we can gather everyone who wants to be included! 

Hey y'all! We are just waiting on 5 more folks to approve their bundle entries! We are aiming for the bundle to start collecting funds on Friday, July 4 and will have to prune your game if you do not accept by Wednesday, July 2. 

Nicola De Marco, Yoeri Staal, cat, DuxDevGames, and Jelly Games Studio, please visit https://itch.io/b/3110/no-ice-in-california, scroll to the bottom of the page and accept your entries. 

I'll send an email when we launch with ways you can promote the bundle and let folks know you have games inside. Thank you all for donating your games to help us raise funds for Immigrant Defenders Law Center and RAÍCES!

thank you so much! I appreciate you joining the bundle!

Hello my friends!

Our game jam has been transferred into the No ICE in California Charity Bundle! YAY! 

Unfortunately, itch is making us auto approve submissions, but not to worry, this can easily be accomplished by visiting the bundle page and clicking on the button in the top left corner to approve your submission: https://itch.io/b/3110/no-ice-in-california. Please do this ASAP but no later than Wednesday, July 2 at 5 p.m. PST. We are aiming for the bundle to start collecting funds on Friday, July 4 and will have to prune your game if you do not accept. 

Thank you for your patience and being a part of this amazing bundle! We are supporting Immigrant Defenders Law Center, an LA based social justice law firm that defends our immigrant communities against injustices in the immigration system and RAÍCES, a Texas based organization fighting to welcome and fight for families seeking safety and freedom in the U.S.

I will likely send a few more emails asking folks to accept their games and then I'll give updates once our charity bundle is live. Otherwise, I'll post updates on my socials and in my newsletter. 

In gratitude, 

Jes (they/them)

Hi everyone! The response to this bundle has been incredible! THANK YOU! I wanted to give everyone a heads up that the organization/s we support may need to be adjusted. I have been reaching out to LA based immigrants' rights organizations via phone and email daily to onboard them on to itch (a step you need to make before you can collect funds for a bundle) and unfortunately have not heard back from multiple organizations yet. I have gotten into contact with RAÍCES, a Texas based organization fighting to welcome and fight for families seeking safety and freedom in the U.S.

If I am unable to connect with a California based organization within the next week, I will rename the bundle to No ICE in USA to be more transparent. Thankfully, we still have time, and I still have hope. I am trying to move fast so we can get the organization/s we support the much-needed fundraising that will come from the bundle. I don’t want to see any delays and truly want to launch on July 4. This bundle will be the only thing I’m celebrating this Independence Day.

After the game jam ends, we will need every person who submitted a game to approve their submission, this is mandated by itch.io and we cannot move forward until all submissions are approved (or culled meaning they are no longer a part of the bundle.) I will send an email to everyone who joined the game, post a community topic, post about it on my socials, on my ChariTTRPGs newsletter, and in the ChariTTRPGs discord, please be sure to accept your submission when the time comes. 

I hope to have more updates soon! Thank you again for all your support! 

SAGAS boasts that you can recreate any world and bring it to life using the system and so far, it hasn't been proved wrong. I've enjoyed playing in a Cryptid Fairytale World, Studio Ghibli inspired World, JJK, and even a One Piece world where our crew sailed the South Blue. 

The system is relatively easy to learn for new players and creating a character can be done in 5-10 minutes. What you really need to get used to when playing SAGAS is getting unnaturally excited to roll natural ones. 

Hello and good morning my friends, 

I am so excited to announce that the RPGs for Accessible Gaming Charity Bundle is now LIVE!  

First and foremost, THANK YOU for donating your game to help DOTS RPG Project! If we reach the $30,000 fundraising goal, they will be able to manufacture sets of d4s, d6s, d8s, and d10s of their Signature Braille Dice, manufactured in partnership with Die Hard Dice. A follow up to the RPG dice set, these new sets make dice rolling accessible to blind and visually impaired gamers for tabletop games that do not use a d20-based system. 

If you'd like to help spread the word about the bundle, here is the bundle link, a promo tweet, newsletter post, threads post, and a bluesky post. If you have connections to any folks who might be interested in covering the bundle via blog, newsletter, video, or any other promotional outlet, please let me know! I'd be happy to chat with them!

In total, there are 248 RPGs and supplements worth $700+ for a donation of $10 or more to support DOTS RPG Project. Our first goal is $30,000, if additional funds are raised that will go towards attendance costs associated with attending tabletop gaming conventions in 2025. At these conventions DOTS is able to bring the conversation of accessibility in tabletop gaming to a larger audience, offer one-on-one consulting, present on panels, and have their Signature Braille Dice available for blind and sighted people alike.

I'll be posting bundle announcements and updates in the ChariTTRPGs discord and newsletter and sending out emails via itch when we hit big milestones. If you want to be the first to know about future charity bundles, submit your email here to be adding to my mailing list. 

Hi all, I wanted to give a quick non email update that we're just waiting on itch to either auto approve the last few folks who haven't approved their entries or cull them. After that, the bundle will be able to start. Thank you for your patience and donating your talents to the bundle!! 

yes, please do! Thank you

Good morning my friends!

Our game jam has finally been transferred into RPGs for Accessible Gaming Charity Bundle! YAY! 

Unfortunately, itch is making us auto approve submissions, but not to worry, this can easily be accomplished by visiting the bundle page and clicking on the button in the top left corner to approve your submission: https://itch.io/b/2850/rpgs-for-accessible-gaming. Please do this no later than 2/16 at 5 p.m. PST. We are aiming for the bundle to start collecting funds on 2/17 and will have to prune your game if you do not accept. 

Thank you for your patience and being a part of this amazing cause! Let's help fund some more braille dice!! 

Oh my goodness, itch didn't notify me of this comment! I'm really sorry for my delayed response! The dice are really neat and had a great reception when introduced at PAX-U so I imagine introducing single sets of die for games like Vampire the Masquerade and even games like Yahtzee will be well-received! Thank you so much for joining the bundle! :) 

Hi all, we are 13 days into collecting entries and there are 92 of you who have submitted 185 RPGs! THANK YOU!

If you would like to help spread the word to help us collect more entries to aid DOTS RPG Project, please share the following social media posts

Thank you for supporting accessibility in gaming by joining this bundle! 

Thank you to all who submitted a game to the TTRPGs for Accessible Gaming Charity Bundle!! I have great news, itch has already synced our bundle and it looks like we might not need to go through an approval process. With that being said, I have decided to move the charity bundle up a week to start on 9/9 to give DOTS RPG Project more time to collect donations. I will be sending out an email on 9/9 with tweets/posts/newsletters you can share to spread the word (if you would like.) 

Thank you again for donating your submission to help their worthy cause of creating the first ever Braille RPG Dice available in a retail setting worldwide, helping make tabletop gaming more accessible for disabled gamers.
