Our Current Jams
The Face Your Fears jam is all about overcoming fears. Whether those are imagined or real, legitimate phobias or just stuff you put off doing because it scares you, make something that helps you and people who experience your work to overcome it. The jam runs through November 8th.
The Falling for Autumn jam is about celebrating our favorite season (and Angel's birthday). Make something analog (non-digital) celebrating what you love about autumn: A TTRPG (no supplements), tabletop game, or zine (poetry, story, photography, personal). The Jam runs through November 30th.
