Thank you this is perfect! I'll be using it for the next campaign I'll be DMing. I will of course require my players to

this is absolute peak but i worry it might break the rules of the game jam that i have been playing it for 30 years?

This feels groundbreaking, because we thought the game would precede it’s own existence. And yet on the contrary, does this game ever exist? Is this something we can actually play? Or do you play another game and this game is just something that you found out afterwards?

As if we play another game and realized that maybe this one was existed inside of it.

We believe this still counts in the rules. Because some people said that this game never exist and we just play another different game.

Love this! At what point the game start existing and the players fade into the background?

Thank you! We are still investigating how the game starts to exist, but based on our own research, we find that it is hard to discern when it actually begins. Some say it starts during the scheduling session, or in the discussions within each party, or perhaps the first time we consciously become aware of the game itself. Furthermore, a contrary radical thought might suggest that the game never exists after all.
