In honor of Autumn in Iron Country, we're hosting a jam! Starting just before the official beginning of Fall, participants will make things for the Bump in the Dark TTRPG. Things such as: 

• Hunts
• Playbooks
• Bespoke settings
• New factions
• Monstrous abilities
• Random tables
• Really long lists of possible clues
• Fiction taking place in the setting
• Full-on hacks of the game
• and so on 

Whatever you're interested in making, we're interested in seeing!

• Submissions should be, well, spooky or at least autumnal in some way. Horror and horror-adjacent are cool but not strictly necessary. Tone can vary considerably but it should generally make sense in the world of the game.
• You are allowed to reference any content from Bump in the Dark, including setting content, but if you use the actual text from the game you must abide by the license in the book.
• You can price your work, including work that references the setting, as long as you abide by the above . If you do decide to price your work, please consider also including community copies. Additionally, I may request a download code to review it. 
• Works-in-progress are fine (encouraged, actually!) as long as they are in a playable state.
• Feel free to submit stuff you've already released, too.
• Content warnings are suggested but not mandatory.
• Optional: You may use the text "Made for the Iron Country Autumn Jam" on your submission's Itch page or on your PDF for any content created specifically for the jam.
• Multiple submissions are totally cool and very much appreciated!
• Any submissions containing or encouraging bigotry will be removed from the jam. 

Once the jam is over, all entries will be compiled into a bundle which will be sold for $10-20 (depending on how many entries we get) with all proceeds going to Pathfinders, a Milwaukee-based resource for youth that includes supported housing, services for runaways and homeless youth, anti-sexual violence services, and mental healthcare. The bundle will remain available through the end of the year, at which time I will share how much we raised and the donation receipt for accountability. 

• A trifold pamphlet hunt template is available: [Affinity], [InDesign (coming soon)], [PDF]. 
• If you are looking for examples of what kinds of hunts people have made, check out the collection here.
• If you are making a hunt, you must include this text file with licensing information in the download.
• You can use these clocks for your hunts, if you want -- just be sure to give credit to Justin Alexander.
• Playbook template: [Affinity], [InDesign (coming soon)], [PDF]
• There's also a faction template: [Affinity], [InDesign (coming soon)], [PDF]
• Other templates may be able to be provided upon request.
• The Bump in the Dark Discord has helpful folks to consult with and can provide other resources!
