Dear Folklore Jammers,

I hope folks are doing well. What is the folklore inspiring you right now, and how's everyone's progress?

I'll start:

In Hong Kong urban legends, there's a haunted public housing estate rumoured to be built on top of WWII-era mass graves, and also experienced devastating landslides in the 70s. In the game I am working on, a group of teenagers explore a fictionalised version of the haunted estate, with Jenga mechanics inspired by Dread and The Wretched. (It is interesting to think that spooky tales/ghost stories as a way in which humans process immense tragedies beyond our comprehension.)

Yours faithfully,

Arthur

Ugh, I'm not even sure if I'm going to get to any of these ideas x.x I barely had a chance to fix some serious spacing issues (well, not serious but were bugging me because justified alignment has always bugged me) in my Rooster and Owl game x.x If nothing else though, it felt good getting some of those ideas down. Maybe I'll save one for the next Folklore Jam :3

I decided to draw on a "recent" urban legend with roots in older folklore from my country of origin (Scotland); the Gorbals vampire. It's a pretty great story.

Just submitted! I'm originally from the Lake District and was inspired by the stone circle "Long Meg & Her Daughters" it's surrounded by superstitions folklore and I've really enjoyed the witchy vibes! 

Also...  maybe I've been working on a silly pun game for this jam. My husband and I had "Faux-Claw" rattling round  in our brains and I just can't get these cats off my mind ... too off topic I wonder?
