Norton GloverThe TTRPG Character Creation Challenge Jam is nearing completion, so I've posted some rambling thoughts on the games I chose to include in my entry:

Finished up the TTRPG Character Creation Challenge Jam where I created a unique RPG character for every day in May. It was exhausting.
I've added characters for Apes Victorious, Ghost Dog: The Way Of The Samurai, Zorro: The Roleplaying Game, Savage Worlds: Flash Gordon, Heckin' Good Doggos, and many others.
Completed my third week of the TTRPG Character Creation Challenge Jam.
This week, I did Dicey Tales, Vaults of Vaarn, Cepheus Deluxe, Tiny Supers: Fallen Justice, Traveller: Mercator, Numenera, and Fringeworthy

I'm two weeks in on the 2026 TTRPG Character Creation Challenge Jam, with 14 characters created.
It's been a good opportunity to revisit some old games in my collection that I haven't looked at in a bit (Over The Edge, Mechanoid Invasion), and also to finally read some games on my shelf I've never gotten around to (Whitehack, Night of the Ninja, The Terror Beneath)
You can find my characters at

I made through the first week of the TTRPG Character Creation Challenge Jam.
It's a bit more time-consuming than I thought, but it's been nice revisiting some older games I haven't looked at in while.

Digital Mark λ ☕️ 8647One of my favorite games, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, the zombie apocalypse construction kit/survival game.
Virgil Goodman here is based on an NPC I used a lot, a roving delivery guy of the apocalypse, future leader of the living world, sworn enemy of a Clerks-Animated-like businessman with a bizarre obsession.
He's not even a Survivor! They get a SHITLOAD more stat & quality points. This could be any of us, but we're not motivated enough.
Ampersands 🏳️🌈Character Creation Jam progress: Five characters into it so far. I'm not strictly aiming for one a day but I'm at least caught up to that, if you take in to account I'm working on number six for today with a dog for the Very Good Dogs of Chernobyl.
A simple one so I can get started on MURDERBOT early.
Troika 3E Numinous Edition. Just Fighting Fantasy with d36 background tables, & an almost savage minimal level of stats. Advanced Fighting Fantasy is a much better *game*, & the Titan world is more fun to me, but Troika's worlds are pretty interesting.
For the TTRPG Character Creation Challenge Jam, I needed a fillable character sheet for Dark Conspiracy, the 1991 GDW horror RPG.
It didn't exist, so I've made one. Free to download.

For Star Wars RPG day, there is only one RPG (unfortunately, I have 2nd Ed revised here, I prefer 1st. GTFO with your d20 shit).
Star Wars names are always direct & obvious, don't think too hard about it.
Char creation's even easier than TORG, 7 skill dice. Choose Force Sensitive or not (yay moral ambiguity!). Buy some gear, with not much cash. But I had to do this on a PDF charsheet instead of copying it. 🤢
