We are long overdue to set the next Paper Jam theme. If you have any ideas, please let us know here.

If you want some existing ideas to draw from, I have set up a Google Doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IMjRs37UypFUjJhS1e0braArhZx8m5HKdjT632kywV0/edit?usp=sharing

I like the "Dinos in space" and "Frankenstein" idea. The latter would require at least six participants to create a head, a body, right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg. Or everyone designs a complete figure with interchanging limbs to mix and match.

Well, we did "Tops and Tails" which is a simplified version of that. (https://itch.io/jam/paper-jam-003)

That is cool! Now imagine this with a humanoid figure. The body should have holes in it to accomodate the arms and legs and a rod for the head. These points could be used for articulation, so you could make a posable figure.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough prep time to let that be the next theme. It would take 5x the effort of "Tops and Tails". We need this new theme yesterday.

"Dinos in Space" then? (I may have an idea for one.) :-)

I had to look up what you meant. That was an example of using portmanteaus.

This suggestion comes from the Discord. "Deep see exploration. Beautiful unseen creatures and submarines."
Let us know what you think.
