But there is more...
This summer, Sickhouse and EnscheD&D are joining forces to bring UnknownDungeon’s One-Page RPG Jam of 2025 to Enschede! Join us between July 14th and August 17th to create One-Page RPGs.
Are you a seasoned game designer, or have you never made a game? Do you want to design game mechanics or create artwork? Whether you prefer working alone or in a team, everyone is welcome to participate!
Throughout this month, we will host several sessions where you can create, refine, and playtest your creations. Or come to try out what others have developed! Additionally, we will host a panel featuring local (TTRPG) game designers and playful artists to discuss their design processes.
The optional theme for the One-Page RPG Jam will be announced on July 14th. Alternatively, you can use Sickhouse’s yearly theme: “Return to Dreamland”. Or if you’re up for a challenge, you may even be able to combine both themes!
We will bundle the final creations into a professionally RISO-printed “Return to Dreamland” themed zine* including many bonuses, designed by Puck Verras. Anyone can order a copy of the zine, including a digital version, for €10.
Tickets to participate as designer can be bought here.
This gives access to all parts of the event, and inclusion in and a copy of the zine**.
Details about the jam and its sign-up page can be found at the One-Page RPG Jam Itch.io page
If for any financial reasons you are unable to join the game jam, please reach out to Puck (puck@sickhouse.nl or on Discord) and we will make sure you can join ❤️
* All rights to the games are retained by their designers
