New Times, Dumbass

Concept: "WHAT NOW?

Corporate oligarchs, billionaire tech-bros, and trust-fund-nepo babies—the fuel for dystopian nightmare engines of aggression! The New Times, Dumbass jam celebrates the truly awful of the human condition. But how? What do I need to do you ask? Here's some ideas of the things you might make (do them all or none at all, they're just ideas).

Let's inhabit the glittering towers of CY with the worst of the worst!"

Concept: "TRIUNE dominates screens, frequencies and can be found in every corner of the NET.

Their music is everywhere, their brand is inescapable, and their message is carefully crafted to keep you coming back for more, addicted, and consumed by desire.
MindE. Bodi. Spyrr. The perfect pop-idol machine, multiplied threefold. Identical triplets, the epitome of stardom: impossible bodies, voices tuned to unfathomable harmonies. They don’t just make music—they code emotions."

Content: A three-in-one enemy with which to personify the essence of CY and also to make punks' lives miserable through the NPCs' popularity. 
Writing:  Disturbingly on-point mechanics for the NPCs, wrapped in equally (and appropriately) dystopian description of Triune and their reach/impact.
Art/design:  Several spreads of slick marketing-aesthetic presentation (a mix of light-on-dark and synthwave neon color schemes) that uses a mix of illustration and glitchy accents to sell the in-universe nature of the document.
Usability:  High-contrast text and recognizable distinctions between types and sections of content--along with concise and direct explanations of ruling-related abilities--allow for easy navigation, location, and use of desired info.

Concept: “You Died, Dumbass is a profile for another shitty subscription company, some rules for near death organ transplant (inspired by https://zordvil.itch.io/horrible-wounds) and related headlines made for the new-times-dumbass game jam.”

Content: A set of rules to complicate life when a punk at the table comes back from near death with a biosynthetic organ–complete with 4d4 additional relevant headlines to roll when a miserable headline is rolled. 

Writing: A focus on the bleakly absurd atmosphere of a world where biosynthetic organs (and the late capitalist approach to their supply) is common, with brief mechanical features/effects supporting that focus.

Art/Design: Mix of black-on-white and white-on-black spreads/pages, using different layouts and aesthetics, with consistent appearance of red accents and highlights throughout. Several illustrations of NPCs and a location appear along with a silhouette to underscore our equally bleakly absurd reality

Usability: High-contrast text is consistently provided and page/spread layouts offer visually recognizable organizations of similarly presented and distinctly marked content.
