Push is a lightweight, story-driven RPG system designed for cooperative, action-packed adventures. This is a genre-agnostic engine that you can use to create your own games about extraordinary characters embarking on perilous quests through fantastic worlds.

Push is published as a free System Reference Document, with a complete step-by-step guide on how to create a game using the system.

Since the release, the SRD has had more than 600 downloads and the 2-page template has been translated into 5 languages!

This jam is aimed at encouraging beginner and experienced game designers alike to create more games and add their works to the growing collection of Push-powered games!

CREATIONS

•  This jam is for tabletop games created using the Push SRD. They don't have to be entirely made during the jam. If you already made a game using the SRD or have one under development, you can submit them too! Your games can be in any language, and you are not limited to a single submission. 

TAGGING

• Make sure to tag your games with  #PushJam when talking about it online and submitting here so folks can find and enjoy them. You can tag me on Twitter @capacle and I'll help you boost it!

PRICE

• You can price your games however you feel more comfortable. Free, paid, pay what you want—all of them are welcome. Consider providing community copies if your game is paid.

SIZE

• Your game can use the 2-page template or the zine template provided with the SRD. Or you can make it any other size and format you want. There are even business card-sized Push-powered games out there!

BE NICE

• The Push SRD cannot be used to promote racist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, or in any way bigoted ideas. 

LICENSE
