Hi there! 🙋‍♀️

Last year, we ran our first Ludum Praxi jam. The jam exists for two reasons: 1. To be practice for Ludum Dare (hence the name, which means "Game Practice" if the translation worked right lol) 2. To inspire other analog creators to do Ludum Dare in the future!

This is a jam that's entirely for analog creators. As the vast majority of people here are already doing Ludum Dare jams AND not analog creators, this is instead a call for you to try something new. Try making a game without any code at all! Just words! Make a card game, a board game, a journaling game, whatever inspires you. I typically aim to make something using standard dice and/or a deck of cards, so people don't have to print anything or use components they're less likely to have... but then generally my Ludum Dare games get into ridiculous territory and you need to print stuff or have lots of dice or something 😅

• You can join the jam here
• You can suggest themes here

Although it's likely incredibly obvious, this is NOT officially related to Ludum Dare in any way, it's just something I do for fun to try to get more of my analog-game-making friends and "family" into joining Ludum Dare, or at least appreciating the rush of making a game in 72 hours. Ludum Dare is what got me into making video games over a decade ago, and each jam is always amongst my favorite events of each year (even when I'm not proud of what I made lol).

While Ludum Praxi doesn't have this robust, incredible community, nor does it have the awesome systems for rating games and getting themes, it's still a cozy lil event that does its best 🧡
