Bundles We're In

Our Current Jams
The Solo September jam is inspired by the Solo September Games Bundle from RPG Trader and Solo RPG List. The jam tasks you with making a solo analog (tabletop, TTRPG, card/dice, journaling, etc.) game. The jam runs through October 4th.
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 1st.
