Hey Rafael!
As long as it's a submission that respect all the other rules, yes, you can.

But note that this is not a jam for new, authoral games — it's all about making content for games that already exist.

However, if you have a  game that you made from scratch, you can post it on the latam games list and see if anyone wants to make content for it!

Hey, Metthink!

You can only upload your own projects!
The submission itself needs to be content for a game that is made by someone else from LATAM — but your submission to the jam have to be made by yourself!

It's also important to remind you that this jam is for making content for Latin-American Tabletop RPGs, not new digital games.

If you have any other questions, feel free to join our Discord server!

Hey, Seiya!

This is not the jam for new games! 
We only allow remixes and hacks of games already published - as well as new content for them.

You can read the rules in spanish on the Jam's front page, they might explain it better for you!

Are you working on something?  Talk about it and let's hype it up!
Did you already published a submission? Make sure to let us know what it is about!

This space is for y'all to talk about your work — be it finished or not. Everyone is free to interact!

Feel free to! I think a lot of people would welcome ideas of what to do with the material available!

Last year Guax made a killer list of resources to help y'all make some good looking submissions. I expanded a bit on it with some new stuff!

Tools and Tips:

• How to make cool TTRPG pamphlets by Gontijo is a pamphlet that shows and tells nice ways to make your material look amazing.
• Layout and Grid by Clayton Notestine is a must-read about using grid to your layout focusing on the TTRPG view. 
• 5 Principles of Graphic Design is a great piece to read if you have no idea where to start.
• Type Scale is a great tool to set hierarchy on your texts.
• Safe Color is useful if you use a tool that doesn't support CMYK and you want to make the print and digital look (quite) the same.
• Color Contrast Checker is algo a very good tool to check if you're not losing readability with your color choices!
• Figma is a tool for UX and UI prototyping but is great for real time collaborative layout.
• Gimp is a classic software for image manipulation. Hard to grasp, but quite powerful.
• Krita is a great tool for drawing and kinda similar to photoshop if you're used to that.
• Hemingway Editor is a text editor in English — exceptionally good if English is not your first language.

Images: 

• Old Book Illustrations is a curated collection of public domain images, great for that old school vibe.
• Unsplash has a great collection of photos free to use (using actual photos in TTPG is pretty underrated btw).
• Raw Pixel has this public domain artists page — making a game based on a single artist can be very inspiring.
• Flicker feels like thrift shopping — it can be an effort but sure is worth it. Make sure to use the search options and filters.
• Heritage Library has some curated vintage graphics you can use freely.
• Walter Licínio released a bunch of his illustrations as CC BY 4.0

Fonts:

• Fontesk is the coolest site to get some custom fonts free for commercial use for your project.
• Font Squirrel is also dedicated to having fonts free for commercial use
• Google Fonts, won't elaborate.
• 1001 Fonts another great website to search free for commercial use fonts.
  
• Gems and Dicier are two great fonts for dice icons .
• Fonts in Use and Typoteque are great sites for inspiration on how to use fonts in interesting ways.
• Font Pair is a great way to see some font combinations and chose one for your project if you're unsure around typefaces.
  
• Fontjoy is great for testing font pairings. Also very addictive to play with it.
  
• Typography Tutorial in video form. These 3 minutes will change your life.

Templates:

• Modelo simples para panfletos de aventura by Bruno Prosaiko, one of the best pamphlet templates — beautiful and easy to use!
• PocketMod Figma Template by @cosmogorynych is the best template for PocketMod/Figma.
• EZM by @alienmelon, is the coolest tool for making zines (not a joke — this is pretty cool you should check it out).
• Mockup Design has a ton of mockups to make your zine/pamphlet/book presentation look super sexy.

Feel free to add more to this list if you have any suggestions — also feel free to use this space to ask whatever questions you have about design!

Hello, folks!

If you want to find people to collab, feel free to join our Discord server! 

I'm also gonna leave our rules in here, so everyone can know what is our vibe:
We don't allow any type of prejudice, bigotry, hate speech or offensive behavior. It's a safe space focused on latine ttrpg creators, but we also have many enthusiasts and foreigner friends. Everyone is welcome, as long as they treat everybody with respect! ❤️

1. Don't Be A Dick

Remember we all have things in common. Any hate speech or offensive judgment of others will not be tolerated. 

2. Assume Positive Intent
Without vocal tone, some things can get lost in translation. 

3. Be Welcoming To Everyone
This community is filled with all sorts of strange and wonderfully weird people. Be nice to them and they'll be nice to you.

4. English is the main language
But also feel free to use spanish and portuguese terms when needed. Being bilingual is hard and we don't judge. 

5. Respect Admins and their decisions
Admins are (usually nice) normal people who spend time and effort to bring a good community vibe. Work together with them whenever possible.

Do you have anything not listed here? Feel free to add to the list!

Alex's works always amaze me.
This one in particular has a very specific vibe that I like a lot. I feel that playing in this setting won't be like anything else I've played so far. The art is super cool, and the dungeons maps are awesome.

Can't wait to throw my players in this setting to smash (and get smashed by) some pots!

Congrats to every winner and to every entry! <3

I'm super proud of my #RPGLATAM peers getting their very well-deserved attention!

What an amazing read that was!

Thank you so much for such a detailed review of my game! I'm happy that it gave you such great moments! <3

First of all, thanks for the kind words and suggestions! <3

I love the idea of turning spades/swords into revelations. Danger wasn't supposed to be something that obligatory would hurt your explorer, but something they would perceive with fear, anxiety or concern. A revelation is both closer to that and broader in meaning, so that's a very good change.

For the Minor Arcana, I tried my best to follow Rider-Waite themes, yes, but I also tried to keep it as simple as possible for the people unfamiliar with Tarot. I have opted for the simpler approach, but players are more than welcome to use their deck of choice's meanings instead, if that can create a better story!

Hey @fozbaca! I just posted an update with a video example of gameplay right here!

I'm working on it!

Hey, Diego!
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for the next games!

While on Crazy Escape I really intended for the middle values to come out more often, the GMs can always choose the next area by themselves, making the best out of the options available! <3

Thanks! Your support means a lot! <3
