Our first package jam was wildly successful, and it introduced packages you know and love like:

Some emotional Stuff
The League’s first package jam’s announcement started with this triumphant declaration:
The League of Extraordinary Foundry Developers Discord just reached a 100+ members.
Our community has grown to over 2,000 strong in the eight months since then. We’ve witnessed a plethora of amazing ideas by motivated people from all over the globe come to market in that time.
I (Calego) only joined the League because of the first Package Jam and I run the place now. I know I speak for my fellow Ring Masters when I say “Thank you for your support, it has been an amazing journey, and I look forward to what new wonders the future holds.”
If you have any inkling of a desire to make your cool ideas a reality on the Foundry VTT platform, join us and together we will rule the galaxy build amazing things. Start with this jam and you might win something cool to boot.
