One-Page RPG Game Jam 2025

This summer, Sickhouse and EnscheD&D are joining forces once more to bring the One-Page RPG Game Jam 2025 to Enschede!

🗓 July 14 – August 17
Over the course of a month, participants will create their own One-Page RPGs. Everyone is welcome, whether you're a seasoned designer or you are writing an RPG for the first time.

What’s will happen?

Throughout the Game Jam, we’ll host:

• Workshops and a panel with TTRPG designers and playful artists (TBA)
• Sessions to create, refine, and playtest your game and
• A final celebration where we play all the games made during the jam!

Suggested theme: “Return to Dreamland”. Embrace Sickhouse's theme of the year and explore ideas of resting, dreaming, dreamscapes, care, sleep, resistance, and reflection.
(Think along the lines of Call of Cthulhu, Cloud Empress, Troika!, Yokai Hunter Club, and more.)

Or join the theme of the Game Jam, that will be announced on July 13.

Zine Publication

After the jam, we’ll create a mini-publication with all submitted One-Page RPGs. In addition to access to all workshops, sessions, and panels, with your ticket you will get our zine featuring all games created during the jam!

Paying a fee helps us:

• Pay a small fee to the participating artists and designers
• Professionally RISO print the zine (designed by Puck at HKU)
• Showcase the games at The Overkill Festival

If the fee is a barrier, please contact us — we want this to be accessible for everyone.
