Thank you for your participation.
This event took place from December 26, 2020 to January 23, 2021, and has now concluded. You can check out the 10 games that were submitted at the time, and see a list of winners and runner-ups for each category.
What is this?
This is a tabletop design Game Jam hosted to celebrate our community, as Jan 5th marks the third anniversary of our discord server!
📅 You have until the very last minute of Jan 16th (GMT-0) to design, prepare, and present a feature-complete, hopefully playable prototype or fully fledged traditional game (RPG, Boardgame, Card Game, Wargame,etc).
It's not... necessary to submit something that's completely done, but submitting something that's playable is much appreciated.
What's the theme?
Likewise with the first Anniversary Jam two years ago, there is no theme for what to create. Go nuts, seriously. That said, you can always use the 24 Hour RPG theme generator to come up with something, if you need the extra inspiration or challenge.
Will there be a winner?
The final submissions will be voted on through a standalone form, divided into three main categories: Concept, Mechanics, and Presentation. Each category will have its own winner + a runner-up. Additionally, people will also be able to vote for an Overall Favorite which will receive its own separate acknowledgement.
What will you win? A symbolic award recognizing your game for being a Category Winner or Runner-Up. Bragging rights, a fun time, the appreciation of your peers. Maybe Alex will gift you a game on Steam!
Disclaimer: Alex was not consulted on this claim.
