Everyone's games were amazing and it was a very tough decision! Email me at innocentgoblinttrpg@gmail.com as we will sort out getting your notebook to you!

Ahh thank you! 

I hope you have fun playing it, let me know how it goes! 

I have fixed it! Sorry that happened, I don't know how I managed it but it is now the full game!

Hello again everyone!

I have read and played through everyone's games and it was such a fun couple of days! I seriously cannot tell you how much I loved playing all of your games.

So I promised at the end I would pick two and there would be some prizes up for grabs, this was a difficult procedure, I will be honest I felt bad only picking two because I was having such a good time with everyone's. I want to stress that if yours isn't chosen it isn't because I didn't enjoy playing it as every entry was great. Instead, these are just the ones that I personally connected with the most, whether that was the vibe of the game, or how it made me feel whilst playing it.

The prizes I have decided on, keeping in theme with the Crafted in a Shell system are a pack of tarot cards and a journal. I will pick two and reach out to one first so they can decide which one they would prefer.

So without further ado, my two picks from this game jam are:

Light in The Lantern by Penny Blake and Goodbye To You by mortaine! I will reach out to both of you for info so I can send those off!

With everyone as well, even if you didn't win one of those two prizes, if there is anything I can do to help TTRPG wise, feel free to reach out to me! I have followed you all on here as I'm excited to see what you all do next!

Thank you all,

InnocentGoblin

A tarot based speed dating game mixed with deals with the Devil, a fun two player game!

This game is beautiful both aesthetically and metaphorically! I had such a good cosy time playing this, I can't wait to pick it up again!

An exploration of grief that doesn't just stop at being sad, you explore every emotion spawning from your grief whilst dealing with everyone in your life either giving platitudes or making it about them

This setting matches the system perfectly! A good solo journaling TTRPG should make you feel the vibe of the game and my playthrough was a good mix between lonely, anxious and just a tiny bit hopeful!

This game is a fantastic exploration of grief and memory. I love how you are literally bridging your memories to connect to her grandmother!

A great nautical horror game that looks and plays fantastically! I love the emphasis on building up the crew before throwing them in the deep end (no pun intended!)

Additionally, if you weren't able to make a game in time but still want to, please do! I would love to read and play them!

So we have come to the end of The Crafted in a Shell SRD game jam and I just want to say, thank you all so much for joining this jam. Whether you submitted a game or not, I am so grateful you were a part of this experience.

I have never been so inspired than I have this week and I am so excited to play through all your games! Making games this week has been fascinating, and I truly believe that some of them, like Be Still, Archivist are some of the best games I have ever made! 

So, what happens next?

Well I am going to be reading through every game submitted and I will be playing each of them too. I plan to comment and rate each game and if you want some more substantial feedback then please feel free to email me at InnocentGoblinTTRPG@gmail.com or on Twitter. If you do reach out for feedback, it will be entirely constructive and I will endeavour to give non-vague recommendations and I will offer any help I can give as well.

From there I will be choosing my two favourite games submitted and will be sending a little reward. These will be a pack of tarot cards and a journal. Once I have chosen my two, I will be reaching out to them and they can decide which ones they prefer. I want to add two things before I do though.

1) If I didn't choose your game as those two, it's not because I didn't like your game, I have given a once over on each game and honestly I am loving every submission, this is not going to be an easy choice!

2) Obviously I also submitted a ton of games, I made 6 over the time of the jam and while it goes without saying I do want to add that my games will be excluded from this I can't win my own prize, that would just be silly!

Anyway, all this is to say that I have loved running this little jam and I am so inspired by all of you joining me in this experience! I hope you all enjoy playing everyone else's games and I hope you have a great rest of your Autumn!

Thank you,

InnocentGoblin

Hello, No worries. It will take me a few days to actually go through everyone's games and I am going to read through them in order of submission anyways so you have time!

Just mentioning and crediting it is fine by me! There is also a badge that you are welcome to add but it isn't necessary 

Hello, I thought I already had. Don't know what happened there but let me throw it up now!

All fixed! It looks like I put the wrong title in - can't believe I managed to miss that but it's all corrected now!

I will be adding to this SRD hopefully this week so I will do an extra thorough read through whilst at it!

Oh thank you for letting me know! These things can tend to slip through, I will change it as soon as possible!

I want to thank you all for joining this wonderful little jam! 

I am so excited to see what everyone makes and I am here to help if you need any assistance at any point, whether it is SRD advice or just wanting to run an idea past someone.

I will be releasing 5 games alongside this jam, all of which are Crafted in a Shell based. Obviously my games won't be eligible for the prizes I have for my two favourite entries.

I hope you all have a nice and cosy autumnal week!

Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining  this jam!

I know making games with a new system, even ones designed to be easy, can be a complex process so if anyone has any questions about the SRD and how to make a Crafted in a Shell game than please feel free to ask here!

Hello! That's not something I have planned for but I wil ll look into it for you!

Hi! For the Corporate Ladder, if it is a smaller business, make it a straight line with as many rungs as you wish. For a bigger business, I would give each person 1 or 2 people under them for as many rungs as you wish. Or you could always base it on your own work place if you want that kind of catharsis! 

I think 2-3 work best for this but you can certainly play with more!

Base the minor arcana deck choice off your fish character's emotional state, it helps you assess how your character is feeling and helps give a scenareo that will vibe well thematically!

Well damn! I will be honest I don't know how I managed that, I'll add it now!

Done!

What’s Changed for version 0.6:

• Character Creations: Rules for character creation have been fleshed out.

• Archetypes: The different archetypes have been expanded upon.

• Stat Ranges: The stat ranges have been fixed as they previously did not work.

Hi! I hadn't received it but I just double checked and it was in spam! Just replying now! 

Hello! I'm so sorry you haven't received your copy yet! I sent them out a few weeks back, potentially it might have gotten lost in the post, I'd be happy to send out another one for you! Do you mind emailing me your details again please and I will get it out to you as soon as possible! innocentgoblinttrpg@gmail.com

Thanks for letting me know! I will see what I can do to fix it!
