Halloween only comes once a years so Carrion Comfort & World Champ Game Co. are partnering together to make Halloween 2026 a special one. 

For two nights this year, Wes and a gallery of ghouls gather to play the hit game by Adam Vass, celebrating one of our favorite holidays, while the audience can participate in a variety of ways: a Jam in the Wood Game Jam, watching the two sessions live on twitch, or participating in a Hollow Halloween Costume Contest. 

Jam in the Woods

Wes of Carrion Comfort is hosting a game jam for Babes in the Wood over on itch.io! Starting October 5th, participants can craft their own creations for use in the game and share them widely! Develop new Random Character Tables for crafting your Kid, create new Hollows for Kids at your own table or beyond to explore, or even write hack of the system and take it in new directions.

The Jam starts October 5th and ends November 2nd, so plenty of time to start crafting!

Jam Guidelines

• You can submit as many times as you would like. 
• Your entry must be wholly created by humans. Any entry found to use generative AI for art or text will be removed.
• Feel free to charge whatever you'd like for your submission. PWYW (pay what you want) is always a good place to start, but don't feel limited to that. We do suggest having Community Copies available for those who are in a tighter place financially.
• Please promo and share your submission on social media like Bluesky or Instagram using the hashtag; #JamintheWood
• The submission does not need to be a finished product with art, but please make sure it is accessible for those with visual impairments to read. 

BitW is for 2-5 players and a gamemaster (with additional rules for gm-less play!). It is designed to be accommodating to both single session play (like a movie) or short term campaigns (like a TV series or serialized comic book). With just two six-sided dice and this book, fill your group with Big Kids, Lil Kids, Critters, Toys, and Woodschildren and be on your way, facing your fears and chasing your dreams through the mysterious Wood. 

BitW is inspired by stuff like Over the Garden Wall, Wizard of Oz, Adventure Time, and more kid-friendly media that rings more surreal & eerie when viewed through adult eyes. This game is Powered By The Apocalypse. You can purchase and learn more about the game at https://worldchampgameco.itch.io/babesinthewood or buy a physical copy at https://www.worldchamp.io/store/babes2e

Licensing: Do you want to create your own content for BitW2e? Hollows, Shadows, Playbooks, or anything else? Well, have at it! Babes in the Wood 2nd Edition is published under a (CC BY 4.0) license.

Babes in the Wood Costume Contest

Starting October 5th, Wes at Carrion Comfort is hosting a Costume Contest with prizes for two winners!

During October, take your time to craft the best Halloween costume you can and on the night of October 29th, The cast of Children of the Grave will judge all entrants contests on two parameters: Most Unique and Biggest Scare. These costumes can be of nearly anything or anyone, but, there are some rules:

• The costume must have some handcrafted parts, it cannot just be out of the bag from Party City.
• If it is suggestive, be mindful of censoring certain bits within parameters of social media.
• It must be costume from this year, no photos of costumes from previous years.
• Bribes of candy to judges may work and are allowed.

Post a photo, video, or GIF-set of your costume on social media with the hashtag: #BitWCostume for visibility.

On the night of the judging, we will be showcasing the costumes in a slideshow before kicking off the session in order to allow viewers to share their opinions. We will announce the winners at the end of the show and online from the Carrion Comfort Bluesky account: https://bsky.app/profile/carrion-comfort.com

One winner will take home a hardcover copy of Babes in the Wood 2e and the All Hollows E.P. supplemental zine while the other will earn a $50 gift card to the World Champ Game Co. Online Store

Must be 18+ to enter.
