I wanna hear about it!

I made a tiny and loose game (if we can even call it so) that I can play with my newborn. It’s designed to be super simple and relaxing, giving me something to during burping sessions in the middle of the night. The itch.io page is out now.

What a gorgeous idea.  Reminds me of imagination games I used to play with my brothers as a kid.  Thank you for sharing.

I have a really big project I've been working on for ages so the idea of trying to do something different in 1000 words with no images or tables sounds really refreshing. Not entirely sure what I'll get up to yet but I'll update if and when I get an idea :)

EDIT: Okay, it looks like I'm doing an Endless Eight simulator.

I forgot to post it here in my own dang topic! I submitted a “hack” of Slayers to make it more of a heist game. (It’s a “hack” because it’s basically just taking the spirit of heavy asymmetry plus the resolution method to a more out-there conclusion).

I made a game playing around with the practical aspects of what it would be like to live in the kind of high tech future where access to all kinds of accessibility devices and medical aids would be like, kinda to make a point about assistive devices and aids and also just because I played Cyberpunk 2077 not too long ago and it's been on my mind.

I am creating expansions for my own games: misions, rules, etc. I have a lot of ideas and, more often than not, the fact of not having pictures or all the layout work pushes me back. This jam is a great way to give all that a push.

I started working on a dungeon crawler game with cards representing chambers and it turned into more of a print-and-play and less of an rpg but there are some roleplay/improv elements at least lol. It's based on an nugget of an idea I've been toying with since I was a kid and this is a good excuse to develop it into something playable. The first few playtests have gone pretty well!

I couldn't keep it under 2000 bc of all the info for bosses, monsters, items, traps, etc., but there's no ordered lists or images and it's under 5000 at least 😅

Taking the challenge of minimal worldbuilding to heart, I'm building a TTRPG in 2 parts:  squire and knight.  There's basic mechanics for making skill checks and leveling but that's about it.  It's currently ~530 words.  Debating if it needs a combat system, but I might have to rework a lot of stuff and end up doubling the word count if I do that.  

I don't think I'll be able to playtest it before the jam ends, but if people would like to take a look at the draft and provide feedback it might help!

I’ve just submitted my entry. I’m a big advocate of using stuff you already have lying around and so the game transforms any printed prose (leaflets, letters, newspapers, anything! etc) into a dungeon. You need to fight every word with a party made from the letters of your name.

This is the first ever jam I’ve submitted to, hopefully I’ve met all the conditions! Thanks for creating it and encouraging creativity.

Yo I saw your thing and it's so freaking cool. Will provide a proper comment on the submission page later

Wow, thank you :)
