Welcome to Big Bite Games' Tick Tock Time Game Jam! I'm your host, Pat, and I invite you on a race against the clock where time is the name of the game!
Challenge
Create a game, adventure module, supplement, magic item, magic system, or any other type of TTRPG content that puts time at the forefront. It can be a central mechanic, a key theme, or even a main character—get creative!
Deadline
1 month, starting September 1st, 2024
Rules
- Time Is Tickin'! (AKA The Theme)
Stick to the theme, folks! Time must be center stage in your creations. Get creative with time travel, time management, or time-related mechanics. Don't worry, we won't leave you feeling sour if you get a bit off-track.
- Game On! (AKA Let's Get This Party Startin')
Create a brand new TTRPG, adventure module, game supplement, magic item, magic system, or any other type of TTRPG content during the jam. No leftovers, please! We want to see your freshest ideas, crafted within the time limit (no overtime allowed!).
- Be Original (or Not)
Use your own creation, or build upon open-source or public domain assets. Just don't use someone else's work without giving credit (that's just not cool, man!).
- Keep it Respectful (No Time-Outs for Bad Behavior)
No hate speech, discrimination, or harassment will be tolerated. Be kind, be cool, respectful, and remember we're all here for the fun and the challenge.
- Friendly Support (Your Friendly Neighborhood Creator)
During the event, I will put all my current projects on hold and stay available to provide you will help, support, and ideas, to help you make your submission unique and top quality.
- Submit Your Masterpiece (AKA Beat the Clock)
Submit your game before the deadline (when the clock strikes zero!). I can't wait to see what you've created!
- Judging Criteria (AKA The Time-Tested Ingredients)
Our judge panel will score submissions based on theme integration, creativity, clarity, usability, engagement, story, and adherence to jam rules.
- Prizes and Bragging Rights (AKA The Golden Hour)
Winners will receive fabulous prizes and the adoration of their peers.
- Legal Mumbo-Jumbo (AKA The Fine Print)
By submitting, you agree to our terms and conditions (basically, be nice, respect others' work, and don't make me put on my lawyer hat!).
- Have Fun! (AKA The Essence of Time)
Most importantly, enjoy the process! Make new friends, learn new things, and create something truly timeless (see what I did there?).
