How can I do Tabletop Game Jams?

Hi. So I am pretty amazed there is a table top game jam here, but I am uncertain as to how I can be able to participate it. I like to know if there is a website we use and if it's board game like game jams or is it always D&D like games.

Errr... it depends on the jam? Check the rules. Also, what site? You can participate like in any other itch.io game jam.

You can pick a game jam with a name that you like from the game jam calendar.

Then read the rules to make sure what kind of contributions are accepted. Sometimes it’s any sort of media, sometimes it’s only pixel drawing or something very specific. More often it’s video XOR physical games.

The “physical games” crowd on itch.io is pretty open to blurring lines between board games and ttrpg. The strongest divide you’ll find is videonormativity.

Anyway, even if you don’t submit a game in the end, joining a jam let’s you find a lot of games. And if you make a game, you can update it very easily. So just try.
