Fun with Fäng Adventure Jam – Create, Sell, and Get Recognized!
Calling all TTRPG designers, storytellers, and creatives! The Fun with Fäng Adventure Jam is your chance to design and sell your own adventure for Fängelsehåla!
This jam is all about creating adventures for Fängelsehåla under its third-party license. That means you can design, sell, and profit from your own Fäng-compatible content. Get inspired by Fäng’s world of bold, minimal, and nostalgic aesthetic of 1960s children’s books and IKEA design.
Already have an adventure you made for another system? Adapt it for Fäng!
Love fairy tales? Use one as inspiration!
Remember a children’s book that sparked your imagination? Turn it into an adventure!
