#indiettrpg #ttrpg #ocsky
the ttrpg character creation jam is going to run in may!! while the pitch is to make a ttrpg character every day of the month, if you reduce the challenge or only get some of it done, i still want to see what you make!!!!
#charactercreationjam #gamejam #ttrpg #indiettrpg
the second vaguely-annual ttrpg #charactercreationjam is happening in may!!!!! pick between one and thirty one #ttrpg systems and make characters for them every day in may!!!!
The #charactercreationjam is DONE! Day 31 is my favourite RPG of all time, Pendragon from @chaosium.bsky.social, as well as Prince Valiant. You can also find a retrospective looking back at the whole thing.
