Thanks so much for inviting me! :D 

Hi! That's so kind of you to invite me! I'd love to join - thankyou so much! :D 

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it if you get the chance to play! :)

Oh fab! Thanks for the tip then! :D 

Oh gosh I'm so sorry! I will put more up right away!! XD 

Thankyou so much! :D 

Thanks so much! :D I already submitted another game - White Witchmas - for Solovember so it seemed a bit greedy to submit two! :) 

Hi everyone! I'm Penny, a ttrpg designer, editor and sensitivity reader :) I mostly make cozy, horror and folkpunk games inspired by my own (Romani)  culture's folklore and mythos. I love all aspects of horror genre but for this jam I'm planning to make a short and punchy solo game using the theme of isolation :) I was super excited to find this jam that combines festive and horror - two of my fave themes to combo! - and I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with for it! :D I'll be putting community copies up of the game; if they run out and you want one please shout at me and I'll put more up - I try to make sure there's always community copies available for all but it's sometimes hard to notice when they run dry :) 

The person you'd be best to speak to on this is nuffofabby.bsky.social who is an award winning ttrpg performer, sensitivity reader and cultural consultant in this area as well as being one of the loveliest and most approachable people in the ttrpg community :) 

That's so kind! We both hope you really enjoy playing it!

Here's some more :)

Thanks for reaching out! I will post some pics of the inside! - there is one full colour file with fancy fonts and also a plain font print-friendly easy reader file included as well :) 

Fabulous! Hope you enjoy it lovely! xx

So glad you love it! - and woops, I mean that's great but I better put some more up! XD xxx

Awesome! Thankyou lovely! I'll put it in now then :D - and you toooo! Can't wait to see yours and everyone elses as well! :D

Thankyou! I really hope you enjoy it if you get the chance to play! :D 

Heyy! I JUST finished my game! XD It's a paid game because I'm donating all profits from my games to charity  atm  - but there are community copies available - is that ok?  - if there's no copies available you can poke me and I'll add more so there's enough for everyone in the jam who wants one , otherwise they generate through sales will that be alright? :) 

Thankyou so much lovely! I'm so glad you liked it :D xx

I'm so humbled and glad that you enjoyed the game so much! I'm also loving reading through all the submissions and feel so happy to have been part of such a lovely jam with so many great games! Thanks so much for hosting it for us! :D 

Thankyou so much for hosting this wonderful jam for us all! I can't wait to look at all the games properly and rate them all! :D 

Paks pal! 🙏 x x x

FIVE STARS!!! I LOVE IT!!! This is an absolutely gorgeous game - whimsical and story-focused it will appeal to anyone who loves the magic and mystery of the natural world. Being family-friendly is a beautiful bonus and I can well imagine groups of friends and families creating beautiful stories and memories together as their nature spirit characters strive to protect mother forest. A real little gem of a game! 

This looks amazing!! i can't wait to play it!!!

*giggles* xxx

I got some fab feedback from our fearless leader and made some tweaks and changes to the game! Sadly the edits are locked until voting is over but I'll upload the improved file as soon as it lets me :D 

Thankyou so very much to everyone who took part - I think all the entries look so heart warming and I'm really touched by the way each of you has engaged so deeply with the themes of the jam. I really hope everyone has had fun and that you will now take some time to look at, enjoy and engage with the other entries! I will be showcasing everyone's entry throughout June - some on my blog and some on youtube - and will let you know when your review/showcase is up. Hugest thanks again and I hope you all enjoy your summer! :) xx

I just changed the Jam closing date to end Sunday (2nd) instead, just because I don't want anyone to be stressing at the last minute. So, while it'd still be great if everyone can get their entries in my the end of today, if you're a couple of hours late or something comes up last minute, hopefully this just takes the stress off! xxx

Thankyou so much! It's a joy to have you on board and thankyou so much for the love and appreciation! Returned in full! :D Can't wait to see what you come up with! :D 

The general consensus was that a discord server wasn't needed so I have closed it as I think that's for the best. I really feel it's more useful and appropriate to use the community here to discuss games and submissions and ask any questions people may have. 

Your wish is my command! One discord server - it may be a bit quiet at first so please bear with while I wave it about at people https://discord.gg/kTGRs7K2 

No but I can make one if it would be helpful?

I have updated the description to make it clearer that submissions are welcome from anyone and everyone regardless of background, ethnicity or culture. Although this is a celebration in aid of drawing attention to GRTHM and I especially welcome submissions from the GRT community, it is nevertheless open to everyone. I have also changed the wording the rules slightly to make them clearer - using myths and legends from other cultures is fine if you do so respectfully but using real life events (such as specific war crimes for example) which are not a part of your own history is not appropriate. I hope that's a bit clearer but if you have any questions please do reach out and ask :)

Warmest welcomes to the jam! This is a relaxed, friendly jam and everyone is welcome to join! Please feel free to ask any questions at all :D 

Aw, I really appreciate the time you took to leave feedback thankyou! Rest assured it will be made pretty - I just didn't have time as it was such a short jam XD 

oh lol I totally forgot I had an account on there XD 

Aw, thankyou so much lovely! Your support is hugely appreciated!

Thankyou so much lovely! xxxxx

Aw, thankyou so much! That's so kind of you!

Thankyou!
