  1. This is just a blank page with the word “REVEL”, and then 40 words of licensing.
  2. This isn’t a game, or a supplement, or anything.
  3. You can’t copyright a single word, and there’s no way that you can expect “CC BY-SA 4.0” attribution on the word “Revel”.
  4. It’s pretty insulting to “accessibility” itself that you’d call a single word “accessible”

This is just a mean, sneaky joke to grab “first upload” on the jam, and again, insulting to the idea of “accessibility”, which is a real thing in gaming.

It feels like a nihilistic… anti-joke about game design. Or copyright. Or playtesting. Or game jams?

Whatever beauty or artistry or meaning there is to roleplaying games, “Revel” is, at best, an exploration of a bold… grey… lack of any of that.

Or maybe it’s about capitalism. The “performance” of taking a single grain of sugar, wrapping it in a candy wrapper, and not just saying it’s candy, but copyrighting the “brand”.
