An analogue game jam on folklore, myths and urban legends
Folklore Jam is back for 2025 and will run from 1st to 31st of October, just in time for Halloween! 🎃
Folklore Jam is an analogue game jam on folklore from one's own culture. Participants are to create analogue games (TTRPGs, LARPs, or board games) incorporating elements from folklore (including myths and urban legends) of their own culture or a place they belong.
It can be a spooky game in time for Halloween, a cosy game about the local cryptids having a tea party, or anything in between!
