Upon seeing the Community Jam, I immediately was struck by a thought:
I just released FARM Champions BETA, a (fairly) light-hearted game of young heroes trying to help their community prosper (perfect for this jam!), and it has a job generator, but not an adventure and quest generator. I would absolutely love it to bring other voices to that project in the form of "not another white dude," because I am just another white dude. That's all well and good for me, but diverse voices create better games IMHO, so why not?
First off, is anyone interested? You can pick up FARM Champions BETA for free on itchio and see if you like it and might have some ideas. (I mean, if you want to throw a few bucks at it, we'd love ya for it, but by no means do we expect it!)
Secondly, if anyone is interested, can I get some diverse voices to submit some stuff for it? The idea is that I'd add a second PDF with all submissions that the author (my cousin) and I like, so it becomes part of the core of the BETA of the game. Any submissions would come with full credit to the author, and the author would retain rights to re-use whatever they write in whatever form they want as well. Since the Job Generator is pretty system agnostic, that should work out pretty well. Since FARM Champions is all about community at its core, having generational games and mostly positive, interesting cultural or social issues featured in its generators seems like an awesome resource.
Thirdly, would more diverse voices be interested if I were to do this as some sort of contest, or for pay for entries that make it into the final PDF? I've got means, just not sure how it'd work best.
I've got a pretty decent following from my DMsGuild and DTRPG releases, so I'd love to find ways to boost other voices and work with a more diverse crowd. If anyone's interested in my work to see if I'm on the level, you can check timbannock.com, and you can also seek out folks like Alicia Furness, Cat Evans, and other folks I've worked with on DMsGuild projects or as part of the RPG Writers Workshop program as a mentor.
If any of this is outside the bounds of the Community Jam, don't hesitate to let me know and I'm happy to remove or close down this post!
