To quote an amazing character "There's something so human about taking something you love and making it a little worse so there's more of it" The New Edition TTRPG Jam is an opportunity for people to take a tabletop game they've made and mess with it, change something big like a mechanic, or shuffle some oddities into the lore. You have a solo game about travelling home after the trojan war? Well the gods are now furbies and your crewmates are racoons. You might wish to make some solid changes to an already released game, changing the tools required, the SRD used, the length of time it takes to play. Whatever the change you make, as long as it's meaningful, or a little cursed in the best of ways, then this is the jam for you!

To participate in the jam, all you have to do is take a game you've already released and mess it up a little! If you're looking for ideas of what to do to the game, consider the following:

  • Reskin the game to give a different vibe
  • Reskin the game to fit different lore
  • Change the world it's in
  • Change the tools it uses (For example tarot to playing cards or vice versa)
  • Change the system it uses (Maybe try the game with a different system of mechanics or install a pre-made SRD that someone has made!)
  • Change the character perspective (For example, making the players play the villains instead of the heroes)
  • Add a new mechanic that changes the game
  • Change the amount of players (For example making a solo game a duet or a group game)
  • Anything else you can think of!


The Rules

The Rules

  1. New Editions: This jam is for new editions of pre-existing games. Each submission should be based on a pre-existing game which you have the rights to re-edit. 
  2. NO AI: This is a simple one, no AI writing, art, or anything else. Any entry with generative content or stolen work will be deleted with utter glee.
  3. Don't be a bigot: Following on from the last point, don't be a dick, respect others. If I see any hateful material, of any kind, it'll be removed happily.
  4. TTRPGs Only: This jam is specifically for tabletop games using the physical category. I'm happy for tabletop supplements to be added as long as it fits the rest of the rules but I don't want to see any other kind of game.
  5. Multiple submissions are allowed: As long as your submission is complete enough to be playable, you are able to submit as many entries as you wish. Any games that are unplayable or are unrelated will be delete.
  6. Free copies: Paid entries are ok but we do request you include enough community copies for every person in the jam.
