Announcing the Winners of the 4th Annual Homebrew Jam

You’ve voted, we’ve counted, and now it’s time to reveal the winners!

EK, Mei, and I enjoyed reading all your entries, all of which were wonderfully written… and many of which fit our theme, Out of Time, Out of Place!

The Winners

In Third Place… Happy Heart, with the Culex Monster Sheet! Featuring the stat blocks not just for one Monster, but five, this entry will definitely test an adventuring party’s endurance and elemental coverage.

For Second Place… BucketGod’s The Legend of Hilda: Earthcore Hammer! This setting guide provides the touchstone for running a Lorulian take on Skyward Sword, deep underground.

The Developer’s Choice… Ramos’s Randomize the Wild! This entry is full of a DM’s best friend: randomized tables for almost everything you can think of: races, items, a different type of character progression, and even generating dungeons!

For Another Place, Another Time… Wraithslayer101’s Journey to the Center of Hyrule! Short but sweet, this entry provides ideas for what one would find underneath Hyrule – even underneath the caverns that you can explore in Tears of the Kingdom.

For our newest category, Best Adventure… Regame’s The Fallen Temple! This adventure leads the party back to Holodrum’s Temple of Seasons after the weather starts changing every few hours.

Finally, in First Place… Lil Bug’s Simple Playable Bestiary! This thorough document provides details for turning every entry in Ravage the Wild into a playable race.

As in prior years, we’re going to try and highlight all of these entries with their own individual articles in the coming year. We’ll also be contacting them directly, to coordinate their gift card rewards – so keep an eye out for that soon, winners!

Thank you once again for the homebrew jammers for providing such wonderful entries, and for everyone who’s taken the time to read and vote on all these entries.

Edit: 4 January 2024 – Wrathslayer101 was wrongly credited as the author of the Second Place winner; it’s actually BucketGod. In addition, Best Adventure was unintentionally omitted. Apologies to everyone for these mistakes.
