i do not consider myself a Math Girlie but i had a whale of a time with this game!! it scratched a great itch in my brain for logic puzzling. thanks for sharing!!

i had a lot of fun with this!!! super great use of music and color; a certain twist turned an experience i kept laughing at into one where i went "OH. OH NO."

a couple of typos to report!

"He is best known for being amon the first investors to predict [...]"

"[...] shove it where no will have to deal with its BULLSHIT."

thank you for sharing this!!

i've not managed to complete this but i absolutely lost my mind watching a friend play through it (also failing to complete it) last night. incredible work

most (if not all) ongoing chatter will take place in the discord, so don't forget to join!

please feel free to use these forums too though if you are so inclined!

an absolutely beautifully written little biography; thank you for sharing it

gorgeous exploration of real-life "otherness" and traditional "monstrousness." the pixel art is lovely, too, for its simplicity. poetic and perfectly paced! thank you for sharing it!

this is a ttrpg jam but good luck out there!!

 i rated this AGES ago but wanted to say outside of the rating too that the title of this in particular has really stuck with me because i was also a mormon kid and i had a dangerously obsessive special interest with neopets and i wondered this exact thing. this captures a lot of familiar feelings; thanks for sharing it!!!

good to hear!! i wasn't sure if this had a set number of prewritten characters and/or a recommended range. thank you!!

i'm hoping to run this; it's so beautifully written and i think with the right crowd it would be a moving experience. it sounds as though the living are not intended to know who's alive and who's a ghost (unless you take a minute and become a ghost, in which case people will see you draw the slip from the bag); is that correct?

hey there!! may i ask how many players this runs for?

not being pushy at all!!! good lord i had a hell of an april let me tell you. i'll take care of it either later today or on sunday!!!!!

go ahead and take advantage of how busy i am to sneak in!!!!

sorry for the delay but you can now use this link to submit!! thank you so much for participating!!!!

publish it on itch like you would anything else and then just give me the url of the project page!! :>

if you made characters but missed the deadline, please let me know!!! i can add your submission after the fact on my end, and as long as you pinkie promise you were keeping in the spirit of the challenge and didn't just make your last few characters a week later, i'll include them with everyone else's! :>

i'm actually able to add submissions after the fact!!! use this link—it should only work for you since i had to provide your itch page first. thank you for sharing this here so i could make sure you got in!!!!

please still submit!!!! i didn't finish either lol but I'm glad you participated!!!!

hi there!! i love all these packs, but  they all seem to be expansions; is there a base pack available for purchase somewhere? thank you!!

i'm not a host or anything, but this is super cool of you!!! these look really good!

i meant to post this earlier but was swamped this weekend lol

anyway happy just over halfway through the challenge!!! where's everyone at? share what you've made so far! let us know what your goal is right now! lament having fallen behind! root for everyone trying to catch up! root for everyone keeping on track! be excited!!!

hey there! this is a super helpful tool, but i'm finding that it's SUPER tedious and difficult to go through the dropdowns one by one when there are no descriptive titles and thus no way to tell what's what without looking at all of them one at a time. would a UI that shows previews of the different items be viable?

thank you so much for this!!!

i am EMBARRASSINGLY behind sitting on a mere TWO characters so far—one in Iron Valley and one in Glitter Hearts. you can see them here if you want at least!!! they're in there with my big list of ttrpgs i want to make characters for.

i've got a long train ride coming up today; i might bring my tablet and connect to my phone hot spot and make a character or two on the way lmao...

happy week one of the jam, everyone!! what have you made so far? are you just catching up or getting started? that's totally fine; there's still time, and some characters are better than none!!! feel free to share where you're at so far now that we're a quarter of the way in!!

here's a general thread for talking about oracle decks!! what are your favorite oracle decks? what do you like about them? what do you want to see folks do with them?

come april, i want to have a big list of games with playbooks to highlight on the front page! if you're interested in your game featuring in that section, please submit it here!

if there's interest from creators, there may also be a pwyw bundle of some submissions, with profits split equally between all contributors—but you can be highlighted even if you don't want to be in the bundle!

please feel free to ask questions in this thread, but only submit games via the form!

thanks a ton!!!

significantly!! thank you so much!!! 💖

i'm excited about this jam but i can only read the description about a sentence at a time before my eyes give out lol. would folks be willing to perhaps pick a less saturated background? the white text on that bright bright blue HURTS. here's a handy dandy contrast checker, to help keep visual themes accessible to everyone!!

thank you!!!

here's my current list btw!!! i'm sitting on 23/31 planned, with a few of them admittedly somewhat tentative. there's a couple of systems i already know and love in there (heroes of lite, pokeymanz, tbsas, wanderhome, tsl, and sexy battle wizards), but most of them are systems i only have a passing familiarity with the specifics of but have wanted to get into, and i think making a character for them will be a great way to do that.

share your system plans for the jam here!!! if you want to highlight particular systems as recommendations for the jam, there's also the ttrpg suggestions thread, but if you just want to slap your list down here then please do!!!!

thank you for sharing this; it was just what i needed!!! i wanted to let you know that even though you mention tips, this being free and not pay what you want means that it isn't possible to leave a payment while downloading.

i'd also be very interested in the bunnies!!! really my dream is a set of characters out of the icons you've made and released but i will settle for now for bunnies all the way down 🐰

two quick recommendations from my list while i have a little bit of time; i'll probably come back here and add more later:

wanderhome — character creation is simple; if you're familiar with belonging outside belonging, you'll understand what i mean right away. the flavor offered is vast and extremely tasty, though, and you can really get elbows-deep in writing out a character backstory if that's what you want to do based on just a few selections and a read-through of the world info.

heroes of lite —if you want a grid-based tactics game that isn't d&d, and you don't want to do a ton of math, heroes of lite is it. there's a thorough review here in the comment section and here on my blog which both discuss what the game and character creation is like!

also, one bit of self-promo: soul & survival is a one page lasers & feelings hack so there's not a ton going on, but i'm really proud of how much flavor i filled  it with and would love to see the characters people might build for it!!

hey friends!! i'd love to find someone more mechanically-minded to work on a project with! i've been rolling around all kinds of writing and worldbuilding for a while as i try to figure out my next ttrpg project and the simple fact is i'm bad at mechanics lol. i'd love to find someone who isn't who's interested in working on a game!!

to note, i'm also perfectly content to share the writing portion of the game (i think a project should belong to us both, and i think caring about the world it takes place in is a part of that, and it's easier to care when you have a hand in it!!), and i can sometimes rattle around loose mechanical thoughts, but i'm looking for a pairing where we at least Predominantly have each of our roles.

things i like and want to make games about:

• fantasy
• magical girls
• queerness
• relationships
• farming rpg vibes
• domesticity in fantasy worlds
• exploration
• witches
• tarot

here's some of the concepts i've been tossing around for various lengths of "a while" that i would be perfectly happy to turn into a joint project—but i'm glad to come up with something new, too!

• pokémon adventures, with a heavy emphasis on the vibes of "this is a kind world where people will help you wherever you go, and you will find friends along the way, and you'll travel together sometimes but not always, and it's full of wonder and joy and love"
• game about running a fantasy tavern where one player is the tavern keeper and everyone else sort of shares the traditional role of gm, playing staff, patrons, plot, and so on
• magical girl game using a card game played with tarot cards as the main mechanic to guide the characters' collectathon and battles
• i want to figure out the mechanics for a multiplayer letter-writing game instead of just a 2-player exchange so you can have letter writing networks and i have SO many ideas for this you have NO idea
• two-player letter writing game between a witch who's off on her big coming-of-age travel adventure and the friend she left behind in her hometown—could also be about a fantasy adventurer, a superhero, a sci-fi astronaut; i have ideas

please feel free to give me a holler!! if you drop your discord i can add you, or you can email courtney@magicalgurll.com if it's easier.

i don't take commissions on a regular basis so prices are negotiable, but i probably have time to get a piece done—i have samples here! there's contact info on the page if you're interested!!

i started this list when i was convinced i would still have any time at all to do the rpgg challenge, but i've been working on my list of ttrpgs i want to do for this!!

thanks for this as always!! i wasn't sure what the best way to submit a jam was, so i wanted to offer the ttrpg character creation jam, eureka mystery module jameureka mystery module jam, and tittyrpg!!

laughed out loud over just. "poop." laughing again as i type this. thank you

oh gosh, thank you so much for your kind words and interest in translating these (and for grabbing solo but not alone 5)!!! i found your email on your carrd; i'll send an email over to you momentarily! :>

have only skimmed the rules thus far but absolutely lost my mind over the descriptions of what happens if any given stat reaches 10—SERIOUS 10 was the one that made me guffaw. excited to get into this game!!
