It's a bit disheartening, but understandable. I'm a pretty small-time creator, and only really advertised through BlueSky posts, so it stands to reason that it didn't get a lot of traction. I just don't really have the energy or focus to try to be more aggressive
There were a couple of posts in the jam topics with great ideas, though. I'm hoping they still end up making the projects they were working on, because I'd love to see them. I can't think of a greater honor any TTRPG can receive than enthusiastic fans making their own content for it.
Yeah. Same. Wonder what was the prize to the winner of the jam… since you’re the only participant. And you started the jam.
EDIT: Also, I’m surprised that you’re charging money for a Hollow Knight derivative (well, the flavorings of one, not exact since you made your own lore and all). And I get it, lot of effort making it. But still, a bit of a surprise. Just pointing to at out.
There wasn't a prize for the jam; it was more an open invitation to make third-party content for the game, much like many other TTRPG jams (or at least those I've been part of).
I've been careful to not include any official art, names, properties, etc. from the Hollow Knight games in any of my SHELL works, and have done my best to follow Team Cherry's guidance on fan works/merchandise from their FAQ. I've also been very open in all of the legal notices in SHELL that this is inspired by their work, and encourage everyone to go buy their video games, because this TTRPG wouldn't exist if it wasn't for them.
Still, if I ever get any indication that Team Cherry is not happy with what I'm doing, I'll either make SHELL completely free or take it down entirely. Same if I ever heard that Spencer Campbell didn't like that I made a hack of his game RUNE. SHELL has always been a labor of love that tried to emulate the video games I enjoy in a tabletop RPG format with rules I thought would fit the HK gameplay very well.
Yeah. And I can tell there’s a lot of effort you made for this game, especially with the art and the lore you did. Pretty cool, not gonna lie. And the starter Realm you made for it is pretty beefy as well. That must have took a lot of effort.
Just added a few more community copies; hopefully you can grab one! If you like it, let me know how your game went and leave a review. If it sparks some ideas of your own, consider joining the SHELL TTRPG Jam to share it!
this time it worked, thank you. I’m writing up some feedback if you would like me to share. mostly clarity but also some autism-driven insights that you don’t have to follow. but I’m only 35 pages in so far.

I notice that your attempts in a game jam has gone… unnoticed. Curious on your thoughts about it?
EDIT: Sorry if I sound rude with this question.

Didn't expect to see a Hollow Knight inspired version of Rune. Would be interested in a copy.
Just added a few more community copies; hopefully you can grab one! If you like it, let me know how your game went and leave a review. If it sparks some ideas of your own, consider joining the SHELL TTRPG Jam to share it!
Thanks, man. Snagged a copy. Will review.
very eager to see what you came up with! rn I’m out of budget but I’ll come back later.
Oh, well you're in luck! I just added some Community Copies this morning, so feel free to grab one.
I’m too slow for the community. Old man problems, I guess. Hope you’re doing alright and I dearly appreciate the support!
I just added a few more; hopefully you can snag one!
