Just physical games and written works? Or videogames too?

Hey friends! I saw this one on Itch's page for upcoming jams and thought it was really interesting, I like weird games.

I wanted to ask for clarification on one point, though. The way the jam page is phrased, it seems to imply that this is a jam for physical games (that is, TTRPGs) and written works. Am I interpreting this correctly? Or would more traditional videogame submissions also work? Can't exactly put those in a zine. (Well, you can, but it would eat up many pages.)

So the original intention absolutely was for TTRPGs as that's the scene I'm in and was sharing it with.  But, I have noticed several videogame folks joining and I am more than happy for videogame or boardgame stuff to take part in the jam.  More the merrier imo!  I'll look into how this would fit into the zine further down the line (I was only expecting like five submissions, so the turnout has gone a bit wild!) but I think it would absolutely be possible to have a little feature page with each game, get some editorial comments and screenshots and stuff.
