Let's Make Tabletop Games!
The theme is "A Harmful Resource"
Join us in our Opening Stream on March 19th and Closing Showcase Stream (TBA) at Twitch.tv/PIGSquad ~

This jam will be fully remote.

This theme was decided on by our Patreon Supporters - you can donate to the PIGSquad nonprofit for $1/mo and participate in deciding upcoming themes at patreon.com/PIGSquad.

How to Participate:

At the end of the jam, upload your templates, images, rules, photos, and print 'n play pieces; or your PC/Mac build if you're going digital! We highly recommend submitting works-in-progress if you don't finish over the course of the jam, as you can always submit a fuller version later, and we love to learn more about what everyone worked on! We hope to share everyone's progress, regardless of full game completion, during our closing showcase stream.
