If you have questions for the organizing team drop them here!

Hiya Quick question I have an interest in game design of all types (been credited in a few board games). Is there a page that i can go to in order to find out how this Jam works or other projects that I can see where my abilities may be of help? Thank you.

Host

Hey! The overview page for the jam is the best place. If you have specific questions or ways you want to help folks let me know. 
A big focus of TWG games is modularity of design so lots of the projects are small content pieces.

I can make a Looking for Collaborator thread like our art one if you would like though.

It's a great place to try out RPG design for the first time.

Is this a good place to ask about the rules of TWG and the associated games? I'm considering using healing as an effect of a temporary location and healing doesn't seem to be a part of the rules (at least for DWG and the content in the TWG license); I'm curious how that's usually handled.

Host

great question! Generally Magic/tech healing is the norm, but it’s assumed players heal up fully in the time between adventures. 

There are also items and businesses that offer healing effects or services! 

Let me know if that helps.

That's perfect, thank you!

Host

FYI we did update this to 1hp a day if fully resting as part of hex crawling. We moved it to being a core rule as well

Is there a discord where we can discuss the jam or are the forums the place to do it? I'm starting on my jam offering but it would be great to be able to chat with others.

Host

Yeah, I created a channel on the plus one server but forgot to link it. Hold on!

Here we go! This is to the Plus One Exp server. 
Check out the #Rules-and- Roles channel before you log out otherwise you will be auto removed.
There is a specific channel for the jam and one for each of Down We Go and Through The Void!

Do you have some more information about Ships from TTV?  I thought I had seen something earlier, but the current version of it is just the one page, and I don't see anything there.  I'm thinking about something for City of Lamps that would be kind of a riff on that, and I think it could be helpful to see what you've done already.

Host

Hey! I was traveling for the last week and just got to this! Ping me on Discord or Social and I can drop you the ship rules. There is a bit about them in the TWG srd, but not a ton. The current rules are in the Through The Void early beta also

Will there be a ratings and feedback period at the end of this jam? Not sure if that is always a feature or only present when the submissions are ranked in a more competitive structure. Just want to make sure I don't need to wait to make comments and ratings for the submissions I'm checking out!

Host

a reminder but nothing super intensive. Review away!!!!
