LNJ, or Lucky Newt Jams, are jams hosted by yours truly. Games that match the theme well enough will be added into a bundle, with profits split equally between all creators. Please be sure to read through the Rules section before you enter a submission. 

Theme

This is a jam to celebrate the world over through TTRPGs. Whether it involves certain animals like black cats, rats, and coyotes, or it deals with ladders and mirrors and cracks in the sidewalk, or very specific numbers or dates or motions to draw good luck to you, or even an adventure that involves a brand new sort of superstition, there is a whole variety to work off of.

For the games that follow the rules, we'll be creating a bundle to sell during the month of December (profits split as equally as possible between creators), so feel free to go more for the warmth and comfort of the holidays or for the spooky feel— December was traditionally a month for scary ghost stories, after all! 

We look forward to seeing your creations!

Rules

All entries to this jam must:

1. Be a TTRPG, or for a TTRPG. I'm not going to break out the old debate on what makes a TTRPG a true Tabletop Roleplaying Game. Use your best judgement. Supplements such as settings and adventures definitely work, as long as they include some form of influence or inspiration from superstitions. Please leave your video games at the door.
2. Fit the theme in some way. There is going to be the opportunity for a lot of variety here, and a ton of inspiration to draw upon. It should be a pretty straight-forward theme, but when it doubt, just ask in the Community Tab or in our Discord.
3. Be your own creation. Please be mindful of copyright laws, and understand plagiarism will not be tolerated. To put it simply, Swiper no swiping!
4. Not promote hatred, violence, bigotry, etc towards any irl group or people.  Show some love to your local black cats and corvids. They get enough hate from superstitions (though feel free to use them in your submissions!)
5. Be accessible to me during the jam. This ensures that all games can be checked to make sure they follow the rules. You can use Community Copies, send me a download key, or set it as a (limited time) PWYW, whatever works best for you and your creation.

You can:

1. Submit multiple games. The more, the merrier!
2. Work individually, in pairs, or in teams.  Just make sure credit goes where it's due.
3. Submit old and/or new games. Newer superstitions are just as viable as older ones!
4. Have your game set as paid or PWYW. I recommend paid because you're putting work and time into this, but if it's bad luck, then do what you need to do!
5. Make your game any length. Whether it fits on a business card or takes several pages, it's welcomed... though I might have to skim through the novels.
