The 1100 Words TTRPG Kitchen jam gives tiny tabletop games one last day

The community-run itch.io jam closes July 19 with a strict 1,100-word limit, four secret ingredients, and a no-voting invitation to make and share a new tabletop RPG.

The 1100 Words TTRPG Kitchen jam reaches its deadline today, July 19, closing submissions at 12:00 PM in Paris. Hosted on itch.io, the community event asks designers to make a complete tabletop RPG using no more than 1,100 words and at least two of four secret ingredients. A tiny design brief with real constraints The

jam's ingredients are Echoes, Rhythms, Masks, and Molts. The setting, rules, character sheets, maps, and playbooks all count toward the same word limit, so the challenge is less about writing a pitch than fitting a playable idea into a deliberately small container. Submissions must be new creations and delivered as

PDFs. The jam is open to all languages, and its 33 visible entries show how differently designers are interpreting the same prompts, from solo journaling games to small science-fiction and horror systems. Why the last day is useful There is no voting round: the organisers frame the event as a place to share and have

fun. That keeps the focus on making a compact game and seeing what other designers do with the same ingredients rather than chasing a leaderboard. Anyone joining before the deadline can read the full rules, check the accessibility guidance, and submit through the itch.io jam page.
