This event has come to an end.
Thank you for your participation!
What is this?
This is a tabletop Game Jam hosted as a celebration, as Jan 5th marks the fifth anniversary of our community, Game Design Guild!📅 You have until the very last minute of Feb 5th (GMT-0) to 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.⚠️ For this event, you may choose to either create a game from scratch or finish a project as your submission, as both align with the community's principles and the event's spirit of actually getting shit done.
Will there be a winner?
The final submissions will be voted on through a standalone form, divided into three main categories that will have its own winner + a runner-up.🔥 Innovation: Originality behind new ideas and creative approaches of well established concepts.⚙️ Mechanics: Mechanical polish and how the rules and dynamics of the game themselves create a fun experience at the table.📖 Theme: Narrative and thematic concepts beyond the purely functional aspects of the game, as well as the visual presentation of the game itself.Additionally, people will be able to nominate an entry as the 🌟 Best Game overall, which will receive its own separate award.Note: It is possible for more than one game to be a category winner or runner-up, if multiple submissions are tied in votes.
Okay but what will I win tho
A symbolic award recognizing your game for being a Category Winner or Runner-Up. Bragging rights, a fun time, the appreciation of your peers, and a cool PNG.
Theme and Restrictions
As it was the case with all three previous Anniversary Jams, there is no theme for what to create, and no restrictions to follow. Go nuts, seriously.That said, you can always use the 24 Hour RPG theme generator to come up with something, if you need the inspiration or the extra challenge.
Teamwork!
Not that it was ever against the rules, but I'll point out that you may choose to work alongside other guildmates on a group submission, and all members of a group will share any awards won by the game.
