One Page RPG Jam 2025 Entry

First, you MUST join this yearly jam. I’ve never made anything publicly, or posted on this forum for that matter, but I think I saw a post about the jam here, and it inspired me to do the absolutely terrifying: Make something semi-serious and share it with the internet.

Anyways, my submission is shr00m, a game that lets your players be mushroom hive minds; I’m less looking to win and more looking to try out this whole Making thing. Any thoughts, feedback, or simple acknowledgement that you saw this thing would be great.

Let me know what you think, and share your submissions too if you make one!

I’ll have to look at your game closer tomorrow, but a game of infected mushroomoids taking over the world makes me smile!

I’ve been thinking about this game jam for maybe the past week or so. I want to make something for it. I just have no idea what! All the ideas I have rpg-wise are adventures/mysteries/scenarios for existing games. Nothing that’s for a whole game.

Putting something out in the world definitely feels scary. At least, I feel that way. I know I put little pieces of me in all my rpg projects.

It seems you’re not the only with with shrooms on their mind:

:laughing:

Absolutely, I’m the same way. I appreciate the acknowledgement. I also often find it easier to come up with scenarios, so it was a bit outside my comfort zone to think about rules, but fun nevertheless!

That’s crazy! Even their random tables for the setting were fairly similar to mine; there’s something to be said for the theory of multiple discovery I guess?

Ah, I posted about the jam in a parallel thread, in collaborations (perhaps not ideal):

Anyways, awesome! I will take a look at your entry and post a short review.

Oh, completely forgot to post my entry. Well, better late than never.
