The Shitpost TTRPG Game Jam about creating TTRPGs that either are shitposts or are inspired by shitposts.
What does that mean?
This game jam is to celebrate shitposts and the importance of making silly, unpolished, and unserious games. It can be something completely unplayable and exists For the Bit, or something inspired by a shitpost that is a totally playable game - or anything in between! Allow yourself to be inspired by the silly and punderful and see where your creativity leads you.
If you have never written a shitpost TTRPG before - you can find some silly (but earnest) advice in A Quick and Easy Guide to Shitpost TTRPG Design, which is available for free here!
Jam Rules:
- Write an analog shitpost game. These can be original standalone games, or hacks, modules, additional mechanics, or supplements of existing games.
- An analogue game is a game that is played in a physical space (or can also be translated into a digital space via a virtual tabletop or video calls) such as board games, LARPs, or tabletop roleplaying games.
- Multiple submissions are welcome!
- Keep safety, accessibility, and communication at the forefront of your designs! We're shitposting, but not at the expense of player safety and comfort.
- This game jam is just for fun and there will be no judging or prizes.
- Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophones, and other bigots are not welcome to take part in this game jam. We're all here to shitpost but we are NOT here to punch down or make jokes at the expense of a marginalized group. Any games with bigotry or promotion of hatred towards marginalized groups will be removed.
- Feel free to shout about this jam, your ideas, and find others doing the same with the #ShitpostJam tag and please share submissions with me on Bluesky at @meghanlynnFTW so I can shout about them!
