This year, we’re doing something fun and new to celebrate our community, to break in our newly-revamped Wiki<\/a>, and to encourage the creation of all kinds of new homebrew content for Reclaim the Wild<\/em>: a Wild Homebrew Jam!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who don\u2019t know what a “Jam” is, it\u2019s a celebration of creation and content created by people. The Global Game Jam, for example, is one of the biggest game design events of the year, dedicated to the creation of games in less than 3 days. While we don’t expect anyone to work quite that<\/em> quickly, you only have until the end of November<\/strong> to submit your new homebrew content for this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re looking for homebrew of any kind! It could be new gameplay options (like new Races, Feats, Techniques, or Spells); it could be new adventures (like modules and encounters); it could be whole new systems! We’re open to almost anything, but your homebrew content must be original, safe for work, and wholly made by you within the month of November!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developers and moderators are even offering prizes for a select few high-quality homebrew submissions! Your homebrew content can get special recognition, be featured on the website, and even earn you a Nintendo eShop gift card!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So check out the rules below, and we hope to see you in our Discord, submitting new homebrew!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Submitting Homebrew<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Submissions are open from November 1st to November 30th. We’ll announce the winners no later than December 15th on the main Reclaim the Wild website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions are made in the #jam-submissions channel of the Reclaim the Wild Discord server. The homebrewed content can be provided in any medium, be it a Discord Message, a GitHub Wiki submission, a Google Drive file, or even a YouTube video if you\u2019re crazy enough. The only rule related to your submission is that you must have begun working on it in November. (The idea <\/em>can be something you had before, but as a an agreement between ladies, gentlemen, and scholars of all stripes, please don\u2019t use homebrew content you had begun work on before the jam.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback & Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An important part of making homebrewed content is getting feedback on it, and collaborating on it with other community members. And we want to encourage that in the Wild Homebrew Jam! However, we also want it to be fair, and not impact the judging of submitted homebrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage you to request feedback and iteration on your homebrew content, in our #resource-revue and #resource-discussion Discord channels. It’s a good way to make your homebrew stronger! As part of that, you may also obtain feedback from Developers and Moderators. We’ll do our best to provide good feedback, but Developers and Moderators won’t be collaborating with you, or doing significant work on your homebrew.<\/strong> Their feedback is available to everyone as a resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Voting will take place from December 1st through December 10th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the voting phase, every homebrew will be added (by moderators or developers) to the new Homebrew Wiki, in their own \u201cHomebrew Jam Submissions\u201d category, and each of them will be linked in a #jam-votes channel. Members of the Discord will be able to vote for their favorite Homebrews through a special \u201cupvote\u201d emote added for the occasion. Users can vote for as many homebrews as they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Please do not use sock puppet accounts, vote-brigading from other servers, or other unscrupulous activities to manipulate the votes – the moderators and developers reserve the right to remove submissions from prize consideration and\/or from the wiki if we detect these behaviors, or other negative behavior, at our sole discretion.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re welcome to make multiple submissions throughout the month, but any individual community member will only win a single prize. If you would win multiple prizes, we’ll gladly celebrate your accomplishments, but whatever other prizes you would’ve won will instead go to those next in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prizes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be providing the following prizes for some of the most impressive, coolest, and most fun homebrew content submitted during the Wild Homebrew Jam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • First, every homebrew<\/strong> will receive a “Homebrew Jam” tag for their entry on the Wiki, and every homebrewer<\/strong> will receive a “Homebrew Jam Participant” role on our Discord.<\/li>
  • The top three homebrew<\/strong> (as measured by Discord vote count) will receive a $20 Nintendo eShop gift card code.<\/strong> They will also<\/em> receive a “Homebrew Jam Winner” label on the Wiki.<\/li>
  • Finally, one homebrew (that was not<\/em> one of the top three voted) will be labeled “Developer’s Choice,” as chosen by Elemental Knight, May, and Milly. This Developer’s Choice homebrew will receive a $20 Nintendo eShop gift card code, and a “Developer’s Choice” label on the Wiki.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, the top three voted homebrew, and the Developer’s Choice homebrew, will be featured on the main website over the course of December and January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Winners may instead opt for a different gift card, e.g. Amazon, Sony, XBox, etc.; or we can donate the money to a recognized charity of your choice, e.g. the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, etc.. Values provided are USD.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Developers of Reclaim the Wild<\/em> and its Discord community Moderators are not eligible for these prizes, excepting the “Homebrew Jam” tag for their homebrew entries on the Wiki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
