Chugging into the final week! (Do you need an extension?) Sticky

Hello, Train Jammers!

This jam has been chugging along and it's hard for me to believe we only have ONE WEEK until it pulls into the station. I have enjoyed taking a look at the two games posted so far, and I can't wait to look at those in more depth and also read the rest of the submissions that y'all are working so hard on right now. On that note - does anyone need me to extend the deadline? I'd be happy to add more time; I know this is a particularly busy time of year for a lot of people. 

In addition to that, I'd love to hear more about how your projects are going! Feel free to answer any or all of the following questions: 

  1. What are you working on? What's your core premise, what type of game is it, what makes you excited to get a working game together for the Tabletop Train Jam? 
  2. What type of train, train mechanic, or moment in train history (or future!) inspired your train game? 
  3. What's one thing that has surprised and delighted you about working on your train game?
  4. What's one challenge you've run into? 
  5. Have you taken any cool train trips recently? 

Please feel free to let me know if a little more time would make your life easier. 

I could use more time (but I came late, so I also can't really complain 🤷‍♂️)

I've got an idea for a procedurally generated train heist module for OSR Westerns.

Ooh excited to see your submission! And I have extended the deadline. I went ahead and gave everyone two more weeks - one week didn't feel like enough purely because all the winter holidays fall right during that week, so I hope that this actually means folks get more of a chance to wrap up their submissions! :)

Submitted

I found this yesterday and sat looking at it for a while. :D And then at work today because I finished most of this weeks stuff I got so excited and got my IT department involved. I have two ideas. I hope to post at least one of them tonight.

It makes me so excited that you were so excited!!!! Can't wait to take a look at your first submission - I did extend the deadline if you find yourself with time to pull together the second, but no worries. I hope your IT department had fun!!

Submitted

Oh yeah I got the second one going for sure. Just gotta write it up in a semblance of comprendibility. This weekend should have space in it. 

I could totally use some more time. I was struggling to come up with an idea I liked, and it just hit me today, but I'd need a little more time to pull it off. My Idea is a game based on "Train to Busan" If you haven't seen it, it's a horror movie with a zombie outbreak, and the characters are stuck on a train, and have to make their way to the front of the train to take control.

Completely get it. Deadline is extended by two weeks!!! I love the idea - very much looking forward to seeing how you adapt the premise into game inspiration.
