The Black Hack 10th Anniversary Game Jam



I've mentioned it before on this blog but I adore The Black Hack. It is the retroclone that introduced me to retroclones and the wide world of the OSR. And it is the game that convinced me that maybe I could make some elf game stuff of my own. Despite all the games that have come sense I still find myself drawn back to it - and clearly all the folks over on discord agree that it's a game still worth talking about. 

The Jam isn't judged and there are no prizes. I just want to see people make some stuff for a system that I love. Also I have never done this before and have no idea what I'm doing. Maybe it goes poorly? Maybe no one submits anything? Still feels worth giving it a shot 

Form a team, make some funky art, rewrite the armor rules again. Throw something into the mix and let it join The Black Hack canon.

That's it. That's the pitch. Come make something with me in August.

I'll do a post-mortem post on this once it's all over but keep your eyes on the #jam channel in The Black Hack discord and the discussion page on itch for in-process updates. Oh and peep the #TBH10th hashtag on your favorite social media platforms.
