Welcome to this year's Mega RPG Jam!
If you have any additional thoughts or questions, please feel free to post them below!
I'll do my best to respond to everything in a timely manner.
My apologies for any confusion!
No video game submissions are allowed, so making an entry in a game engine isn't recommended.
For more information about what a tabletop role-playing game is, feel free to check out this Wikipedia article.
As long as your final entry is in .pdf format, using Roll20 (or any other online tools) to test your game is totally fine!
Edit: I've gone in and added Roll20 to the Useful Resources thread as well.
Feeling a tad bummed that I won't be able to properly start on this until tomorrow morning. It begins at 11pm for me, so given I'm just after a hard days work I know I'm gonna be sleepy barely an hour after starting. lol. Ah well, I'll just have to work extra hard tomorrow and sunday and hope for the best! I've been going through a whole load of art I've done ages ago and have decided some of them will work find for illustrations. I hope that's alright, the actual writing will be started after the event begins, but as a one person team I hope no one minds if I used old art I've done (or previously commissioned for other reasons) as the main artwork for my tabletop game (who knows, sometime in the future an artist might like it so much they'll offer to do new art for me. lol)
I answered a similar question about art in the What Kind of Pre-Work Is Reasonable? thread.
Using existing art is ok! Making art specifically for the jam in advance of it is not, however.
