Ian, 

Thank you for making this jam! There are so many programmer jams, I didn't realize we could have a TTRPG jam. 

TTRPG's are a quiet passion of mine--I love the interaction, player freedom, and stories that develop from the game play. As a member of this jam, will there be an opportunity of to play the games from this jam? I am still new to Itch.io, and am not too familiar with the jams. I can see how people will play the programmed games. However, it helps to have a group and virtual meeting place for TTRPG's. Just curious if we will be able to divide into groups at the end of the jam and play each other's creations.

It is too easy to get lost in a multitude of pages when creating a TTRPG. I like the idea of restraining the game to 1 page. Even though I know you mentioned multipage submissions are okay, I want to see if I can keep my submission to one page. It will definitely be something narrative heavy, like 10 Candles or DIE. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Thank again for putting together this jam!

Thank you for your kind words! And I'm glad you already have some ideas going!

You are certainly welcome to organize with other jam members to play some of the submitted games. However, I don't have any plans on my end to do any formally organized play of all the submissions. You might try floating this idea on the community page or unofficial Discord sometime around the end of the jam to gauge other's interest.

Hey radiatedskull,

You should definitely join the discord. We were just discussing playtesting our games during the jam period. I'm sure people will want to play their polished creations afterwards, too. 

There is a link to the unofficial discord server in another thread in this jam community page. I recommend you join and say hi! 

Also, thanks for cuing me into 10 Candles, looks insanely spooky and fun!!

In the discord. Thanks, Shell!

10 Candles is a lot of fun--though I've only been able to play it in an online setting. I think the ambience would work better IRL (vs. virtual).

Also something key is that everyone has to buy in to the horror theme. The crew I typically play with, we're always goofing off. So the game ended up being more of a comedy-horror. Still fun, but something to keep in mind if you get around to playing--gotta be flexible.
