Best game jam of the year.

Game Dunk (TTRPG Game Jam) launches tomorrow at 10am AEST with prompts dropping! Schedule and list of speakers have been announced in the ARC Discord. discord.gg/M9Wq7wzdC4 Games showcase 30th of July! More info check out arcrpg.org/events/game-du……. #TTRPGs #ttrpgcommunity

3rd speaker! Sidney - Wax Wings shares "Action Paths: How Players Play", an ethnographic approach to understanding how players make decisions, and how we can use that to make better games. "Action Paths" supports all designers: digital, tabletop, and even strategic serious games.

4th Speaker! Jane Routley is a twice-Aurealis Award winning author who loves TTRPGs. She is an ARPIA judge, and has branched out into Call of Cthulhu module writing! She'll be talking to us about storytelling and module writing for existing systems. janeroutley.com

I want to touch a bit more on how much I am not fucking around about this being for a wider audience than just "indie RPGs". I'm really keen to break down these barriers between different acts of play. Action Paths are a view of play, not a view of a genre of game.
