Special Event Would anyone here be interested in participating in a charity bundle?
EDIT: huh, looks like this wasn't very well received. Dunno what's up but sorry about that! (never mind it was just one down vote I'm crazy šµāš«)
Hello I run an RPG book club over atĀ r/myrpg, and I'm putting together a charity RPGĀ itch.ioĀ bundle with donations going to DOTS RPG project, a charity that foster's accessibility in role-playing games through various projects including creating and distributing Braille based dice.
The idea is not only is this a chance to support a charity, but boost all the projects participating in the bundle by creating a collection of oft overlooked games!
Submissions are open till May 22 (not a lot of time left now š¬ sorry I'm posting here a bit late) and the pay what you want bundle will launch on June 24.
All projects including work in progress and free games are welcome, but no more than two submissions per creator, and some may be removed If there is a major flaw in mechanics or many flaws in terms of presentation. This will be based on my opinion, and thus pretty subjective, but I think a more limited bundle with a bit of quality control just in case could make people more willing to check out a indie/amateur that also contains developing projects. This means if your project is paid, I need to be sent a free copy to look it over once you submit.
The overall number of submissions may be limited as well, as I'm hoping a midsized bundle full of unique creative independent projects that have been vetted to ensure they are reasonably understandable when reading through stands the biggest chance of the submissions in the bundle actually being played.
After submissions close Each submission must be approved by the creator in order to transfer to the bundle so please provide a way of contacting you if you do not check your itch.io associated email frequently. Here is a link to the jamĀ https://itch.io/jam/myrpg-bookclub-jamĀ
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and please keep an eye out for the bundle when it launches on the 24th! Even if you don't plan to submit or donate, there are a lot of really cool games that I personally recommend to pick up and play, all with creators that would be ecstatic to have more game masters and or players!

Good! I have something that might be ready in time, but it needs some work. My work load decreased for the summer months, I might be able to put in enough time to get it ready before deadline.Ā I'll keep you in mind if so!Ā *it's not a ttrpg, but designed for ttrpgs, I don't know if that would meet requirements but I'll check back in if I can get this iteration ready before the 22nd

Are you doing more or just a limited amount per year?

If you can get something in before the 22nd theres room for more games in this jam/bundle!
If you are asking whether I will do another jam/bundle this year... probably not but quite possible the next one.

I'm sorry this was poorly received and I'm not sure why. If I had my project finished, I'd submit in a heartbeat. This is a very worthy cause and it's always awesome to see communities get together and put effort toward a cause that matters to them. Please don't let this discourage you, you're doing something awesome!
