- Summary: The rpg.actor Game Jam runs April 1–20, 2026, challenging developers to build games or tools that connect to the rpg.actor character registry. Using AT Protocol (Bluesky), players maintain persistent characters—stats, sprites, and game data—across multiple experiences via their personal servers. Entries must integrate with the **actor.rpg.stats** or **actor.rpg.sprite** lexicons through REST API or RPG Maker MZ plugins.
Prizes include a boxed copy of RPG Maker 2000 and premium creator accounts with increased character limits for top entries. Rules require utilizing rpg.actor lexicons, permit any game engine, allow solo or team participation, mandate new work created during the jam, and encourage open source submissions. Safety protocols categorize entries as Verified, Reviewed, or Unvetted based on code availability, recommending players use test accounts when trying unvetted games. Resources include plugins, sample projects, and technical documentation. Submissions are accepted through itch.io with the hashtag #rpgactor.
