Oh my goodness! Happy birbday! You are absolutely welcome in the Jam!

Hello! I’m totally happy with the same approach as with Otter Chaos Jam. A bird specific add-on would be wonderful, and very welcome!

Hello all,

I wanted to set up a community board so folks could share snippets from their games, interesting lore they create, and any other fun titbits! 

But as we want to make sure this is a safe space for all, I'd ask that you include content warnings at the top of your posts so people can read them first and make an informed decision about whether or not to engage. Remembering that everyone's triggers are different, and that trauma is not the same thing as horror.

There is also no place here for material that promotes or supports any forms of bigotry towards people of certain ethnicities, religions, disabilities, sexualities and gender identities, or other marginalised groups. Jubilation may be a cruel, monstrous place, but not for these reasons.

Other than that, please treat each other with respect! It does take a fair bit of courage to share insights about your experiences and be vulnerable with the things you've created, so keep that in mind when engaging with others here. Please also remember that we are not the spelling or grammar police, and that not everyone uses American English spelling—myself included. So let's leave that kind of commentary behind and focus on the wonderfully dark tales that I hope you will share with us.

Welcome to Jubilation!

Can do!

Hello! I'd love to post about this in my Bluesky thread for Birbday Jam 2026 submissions. Do you have a Bluesky account you'd like me to tag? :)

Thank you!

Hello! I wanted to confirm on the terms of use if that's all right. I'm considering art for a future horror TTRPG, and while it would not be promoting any of the content warnings you've listed, it might feature things like monsters that hurt adults, minors, and animals (which I would be putting in the content warnings) for example. Is that still all right?

Hello! Thanks so much for working on a text only version!

Would you mind sending me the art zine so I can take a look and give more tailored advice? Feel free to pop it through to me at blackwoodpress@proton.me.

My other recommendation (before seeing the zine) would be to use a word document or similar for text only versions, in case you were looking at doing a .txt file. With word docs you can still have a proper heading structure (e.g H1 as the top heading, followed by H2, H3, etc) while .txt files don’t have any way of distinguishing headings from body text. So it can make it tricky to navigate with a screen reader.

It's been fixed now! :)

I had an opportunity to do a day in the life of my avian postal agent and loved it! I was inspired immediately by the prompts of "irregular-sized", "perfumed", and "human-sized", and ended up with a sweet narrative about reuniting two queer lovers who had been torn apart by miscommunication, family decisions about moving houses, and circumstance. But contained in the letters was a promise of a soft place for that lost love to come and land once again. It was wonderfully wholesome and I can see this game being a delight for all kinds of stories; from pure silliness through to heart wrenching! Perfect for those looking for a good, narrative-focused experience.

The most wonderful of birthday gifts was to share this imagined world with you, Thaddeus (and of course Fabian!). Thank you for making such a fantastic contribution to the Jam!

I absolutely love how this one turned out! It was a pleasure seeing it all come together and I'm very excited for folks to play it!

This mystery was my first introduction to Candela Obscura, and it absolutely sold me on the system (and the wonderful GM and group I would begin playing with). I loved the way the mystery built piece by piece, but in a very unexpected way, and how easy it is to slot in additional lore to suit an existing campaign.

It was a blast playing this mystery as part of our Candela Obscura campaign! We had a very wonderful mix of shenanigans, drama, and horror, as we realised that if we didn't do something soon, countless people could well meet their doom! I also loved how this was a stark reminder that the tainted ruins of Oldfaire lurk so very close to the surface of the supposedly modern Newfaire, and how little it takes to shatter that illusion.

Just like La Lionne Publishing's Whispering Pines mystery, we had a great time playing this one as part of our ongoing Monster of the Week campaign. My initiate had failed their start of the mystery move and was tasked with stealing some rather cursed artefacts from the Kingsley Estate. We had prepared our excuses for being there, only to discover the disappearance on arrival! This one was great as we also got to work in some cheeky lore about Lord Kingsley being a part of the Freemasons, a possible nemesis for our organisation. What I love about these mysteries is how you can really tailor them to the level of horror that your table is looking for.

We had so much fun playing this one as part of our ongoing Monster of the Week campaign. Our two Hunters were sent to investigate Nathan's disappearance after we received a tipoff via an anonymous party sending us the tape from his camera. Definitely recommend this one. You can either make it seriously dark and twisted, or allow for many (read MANY) hijinks like we love to have in our campaign. So it'll work for all kinds of tables.

Thank you for hosting this one, and sharing so many wonderful resources! I had so much fun putting my submission together! 🥰

Thank you for sharing this pack! I was looking for exactly these kinds of darker, twisted photos for a recent Jam submission, and there's community copies available if you'd like to take a squiz! https://blackwoodpress.itch.io/aperture-a-cursed-camera-supplement

Thank youuuu! I’m having an absolute blast working on the final layout! Photoshop brushes are far too much fun.

Really appreciate the time and care that went into making this solo expansion! I’ve used it to help inform my solo horror game based on the Passkey SRD: https://blackwoodpress.itch.io/midnight-in-jubilation-a-solo-horror-rpg

I was struggling to find a large, affordable pack of brushes for my upcoming TTRPG project when I found this superb set! Not only are the brushes great, but it comes with a tutorial to help you use them! Really appreciate it.

This was so much fun to play! My favourite moments included us doing stack-a-pug to get things off benches and to jump up on top of a chicken coop. <3

An absolutely beautiful game, both in art and writing! Also love the use of tarot for inspiration and narrative guidance.
