Thank you very much. :)

Thank you! :)

It's fine. You can have a separate section for credits and they don't count towards the wordcourt.

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you! :D

Thank you! :D

Thanks! :D

Initially it was just going to be 3 wind-based magic spells, but when it came to naming them I decided to make the third spell/technique a nod to Demon Slayer. The first technique kept its fantasy magic root, and the second technique became a reference to hadoken/kamehameha.

Thank you! :D

This is so good!

Both the writing and art are incredible!

I can feel the love/hate tension between the two characters!

This is incredible! Great use of the 48 words, and I really love the colour scheme and layout!

According to the current ruling, each number/dice roll expression count as a word and mathematical symbols don't.

"d6>3" would be 2 words

"x*y+z=[result]" would be 4 words

1. Headings do count towards the word count.

2. If the extra content is clearly separate from the core rules, then it's fine.

That sounds like a cool idea to me.

Are they going to be uploaded as new itchio projects?

That seems okay as long as the numbers are consecutive. :)

Sounds OK to me. :)

I would say system-neutral generators are fine, since they are basically standalone world-building games.

A horror divination ritual/LARP inspired by the folklore of Crybaby Bridge, for playing at a haunted bridge with a handmade baby doll, chalk, ashes and a deck of tarot/oracle cards.

It is an expertly crafted horror experience that injects magic and dread to an otherwise mundane (but possible haunted) location.

A solo-journaling game with fortune teller mechanics where you tell the story of a diasporic cryptid.

The game has an introspective and melancholy tone, with a sense of loss and yearning for the place/culture you are no longer a part of. I love how the game makes use of the fortune teller mechanics that is rarely seen in TTRPGs, and encourages the player to explore locations in real-life as if they are the cryptid themself.

A solo journaling game where you play as an explorer to a haunted castle.

Based on the Carta system, the player creates a map of the castle by placing down 24 cards face-down on the table. The PC can move into an adjacent area by flipping over a card, revealing the new location. The game transports you to a ruin that is too beautiful to leave, despite it being haunted.

A wonderful collection of 3 MotW mysteries inspired by Northern Germanic folklore; with an ancient spectre, a vengeful mermaid and an undead druid.

The writing is concise and evocative, and I love how the folklore inspiration for each creature is explained in the text.

It's a nice touch to have the mysteries ranked by their tone based on how scary/gory, comical or tragical they are supposed to be.

A fun one-page tabletop game where the players collaboratively create their own cryptid. I can imagine it being a great party game!

I love the clearly written instructions and how there are spaces in the documents for the players to draw their own cryptid!

A very cool TTRPG inspired by French folklore!

In These Woods Are So Pretty, you play as lively visitors—which can be humans or animals—to a grumpy forest.

It has got whimsical storybook-style art and fun push-your-luck mechanics, and I love how everyone gets to celebrate together at the end of the game.

A fantastic system-agnostic adventure pamphlet inspired by the myths of the Giant's Causeway and Finn McCool!

I love the game's use of the hex map which resembles the real-life basalt columns at the Giant Causeway, and I think it's neat that the hex tiles can get destroyed during the game!

A great folklore-inspired adventure for Right Hand Path TTRPG!

The Wizard of Hy'Brasile is incredibly well laid out with retro video game aesthetics.

The adventure has a fantastic folk horror vibe and the cycle of seasons and years is a great touch.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! ✨

Okay, I have extended the deadline by 48 hours for late submissions.

I can see it just fine.

Folklore Jam is an analogue game jam for TTRPGs, boardgames and LARPs.

The jam runs until the end of the month.

Hello there, one of the rules for the jam is that the game should be made or updated within the jam period. (Even a minor edit to fix some typos is fine!)

The last update I can see was added before the start of the jam.

Cool game!

Just to let you know that Multiplayer Rules v1b (Printable DOCX) & Multiplayer Rules v1b (Printable PDF) seems to have their labels swapped. The DOCX link downloads a PDF while the PDF link downloads a DOCX.

Awesome, thank you! :)

That would be fine! :)

What I had in mind when I wrote the rule is for something like:

• The grass in the park grows in a strange pattern. I bet a cryptid is responsible.
• There's a funny sculpture in the mall. What if it comes to life every night to prank the security guard?
• As a teenager, my friends and I dared each other to perform strange occult rituals we found on the internet, and nothing happened. But what if those rituals actually worked?

You can create your own folklore, myths and urban legends, but they should be somewhat rooted in a culture you are part of or a place you belong.

Print-and-play board games are just not very popular as a whole. Out of the 61K physical games on itch, only 2.6K (4%) are tagged "Board Game": https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-board-game

Just looking at the top games on the list, a portion of them are in fact TTRPGs or zines about board games (and not actual board games themselves), so the actual number is even lower.

I am interested in seeing more board games though. :)

Cool game! Love the play on words with "f(r)iend". Not sure why someone left a 1-star review.
