The Jam

On February 15th, 2025, Brooklyn games co-op / community space / events venue boshi's place will host a tabletop roleplaying game jam, where we all make RPG projects! The jam lasts the classic 48 hours, from noon on Saturday the 15th to noon on Monday the 17th—Presidents' Day. 

If you're local to New York, boshi's doors will be open for much of the duration of the jam! Come cowork with us in the space as we design our RPG projects together! We'll have a big wheel for inspiration, creative exercises, crash course tutorials (for layout software etc), and other fun activities!

If you're not in New York, well, good luck!

Jam Rules

• Projects must be tabletop RPG-related in some capacity. Rulesets, adventures, hacks, content for existing games, system-agnostic stuff—all fine. 
• No AI. No bigots.
• Please submit your projects on time! 

Challenges, Sidequests, Vibes

• Focus on imaginary worlds more than game rules.
• Content, content, content. Don't make a generator when you could draw a map.
• Keep your scope to something you can finish in 48 hours. Ashcans and betas are fine, finished projects far better. 
• Write as many words as necessary, but as few words as possible.
• The only rule is work.
• Hard Mode: Ensure that at least 90% of your wordcount is keyed locations that exist on a map—rooms in a dungeon, buildings in a town, planets in a star system.
