This game jam is for attendees of the ALA Games & Gaming Round Table's President's Program at ALA Annual 2023 in Chicago, IL. (Though, any library folks are welcome to participate!)

Get the slides and resources from this presentation here.

The purpose of this jam is to get library workers familiar with itch.io and the game jam process.

There is no prescribed theme for this game jam. You can upload any kind of TTRPG game text for any theme or game system. You must have permission to use any images or quoted text within your submission.

Make whatever kind of game text you like: a supplement for an existing game system, a full game, art, generator tables, characters, items, zines, etc.

Because the idea behind this jam is learning and sharing of information between library workers, we strongly suggest that submissions to this jam are free or pay what you will.

Not familiar with GameRT? We work to promote game collections and gaming programs in libraries. You can find out more about us here. We offer professional development opportunities for library workers all year and run initiatives like the Game On! Grant and International Games Month.
