Thank you! I have a feeling I very much will enjoy it! 

Also, than you so much for the correction! I know so little about the culture (clearly 😅) so it's a good distinction to know.

Hey everyone! I've been going through the games as I'm able and the ones I've seen so far have been wonderfully creative and steeped in different cultures and lores!

We have a bit over a week left, and I can't hardly wait to see what that week brings in! Keep up the amazing work everyone!

This is such an exciting game! It feels like an actual battle when there aren't turns and play is simultaneous. I don't know much about Romanian folklore but could easily picture what was happening with how vivid the descriptions are. Beautifully made and it's crystal clear the love you have for your culture <3

Oh awesome! I'll have to keep my eyes open for that :D

And absolutely!

This is an intriguing game! At first I wondered what tied it into the theme of the jam, but it definitely has an urban legend vibe to it. I think I'm going to try playing it with my family later today :3

That's a great point! Hope you're able to find a team!

Just a reminder that this is an analogue game jam. By analogue, we're referring to TTRPGs, LARPs, board games, card games, etc. *Not* videogames.

I'm so sorry, I thought I had replied to this x.x

Yes, things like board games, TTRPGs, things like that.

Hey there! Is there a way we can check this out? Just want to make sure it qualifies as well as the game page makes it look like it does :)

Hey there! This jam is for analogue games *only*. That includes TTRPGs, LARPs, card games, board games, and roll-and-writes. Not videogames.

Analogue games don't require a computer to play. TTRPGs, LARPs, card games, board games, and roll-and-writes are all examples of analogue games.

So no videogames for this specific jam, sorry :(

Awesome, thank you very much!

Oh I love this! I definitely want keep an eye on it to see how you develop it <3 

Hey, just to let you know, as per the first sentence on the Folklore 2025 Jam page, this is for analogue games only. TTRPGs, LARPs, board games, card games, roll and writes, etc are all allowed. Videogames are not.

If you're still interested in things like making a playlist for a TTRPG or something along those lines, great! Just let folks know please.

That's pretty awesome x) I always give a game extra marks when the player who comes in last still enjoys themselves. I might have to check out your other games with that running theme ;)

This makes me want to journal again. At first I was worried how a simple mix of prompts could offer enough to work with. It quickly became clear that this is a great example of simple prompts done well. I look forward to playing this for myself!

Oh this looks like a ton of fun! There's good natural consequences using the wounds with the rolls. It works well with the theme of the game, which works well with the theme of the jam. I also like that players can put in however much or little rp they want.

This is great casual fun! I'm curious how you can hurry your pace in the game to negate losing courage? And what's the significance of ending the game early instead of waiting until you run out of courage?

Very enjoyable :3 Thanks for your submission!

There's a great example of what WH brings up in the submissions, actually! Also my own Rooster and Owl has the folklore vibe of one of my backgrounds without being based in a specific folklore.

Ooo this gave me goosebumps. Is this an actual ritual where you're from?  If not, I could see this spreading as one.

TTRPGs do tend to be the main focus. I've only been involved with the last one and this one though and might try something a little different, myself :3 Still looking at different myths and legends from a few different cultures in my heritage though c.c

Hey there, just a reminder that the Folklore Jam 2025 is an analogue game jam. The focus is on TTRPGs, LARPs, board games, card games and the like. NOT videogames.

Hey there! Just a reminder that the Folklore Jam 2025 is for analogue games, with a focus on TTRPGs and supplements, as well as board games and card games and such that are NOT video games.

If you still feel your work would be a good accompaniment to analogue game play, great! Best of luck to you. 

Hello there!

This is a reminder that the Folklore Jam 2025 is an analogue game jam. It's main focus is on TTRPGs, with nods to board games, card games, and other things that don't include videogames. 

If your group still feels there's something they can add, wonderful and best of luck finding a team! 

Oh awesome! That sounds like they could be great additions! Fingers crossed for you!

Hey there! I just want to make sure you understand this is not a videogame jam, but analogue games.

But hey, if you're interested in making sound tracks for people to listen to while playing a ttrpg or the likes, great!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!

It's true I haven't had much opportunity to playtest this for the target audience. You have validated some things I was concerned about (such as solid examples for character creation and how long it might take to play) and brought up points I haven't considered (too many examples for Retirement for younger players and, for example). This is a game I have planned to update using what I've learned since I first created it and I'll definitely use your points during that time.

Awesome, thank you so much!

Hello! I'm really digging this system! Is it okay for others to make their own game from it?

Awesome! Please enjoy, and have a lovely week!

Thanks for your interest! 

So your second question does indeed answer the first x3 Every three marks on the same letter allows you to cross off any other letter. That way you don't get stuck never finding a name that starts with a rare letter.

I'll review the bookmark and see if there's a better way to make it clear. Thank you again!

No worries at all! Honestly, it's quite a compliment to be mixed up with the incredible team of Penflower x3

Thank you for sharing <3 And I'm thrilled that my little creation can help you! 

There's actually a huge bundle coming out soon for trans rights in Ohio! It's going to be priced at a super low amount, so I hope you'll be able to catch it. You'll be able to support a great cause and get more games to play to help you :3

Hmmm? This is a Lucky Newt Games production x3 Did you comment on the wrong game or just get the creators mixed up?
