This year, participants entered 22 brand new packages, all compatible with FVTT V10 and enabling many new options for your campaign, and now we need your help choosing the winners!

You may vote for up to three nominees in each category, in up to ten different categories:

• Best Package
• Best Package from a First-time Author
• Most Useful – Many GMs or players will find their Foundry game improved from enabling this package.
• Most Polished – The package author made every effort to ensure full functionality and considered every use case and detail.
• Most Mind-Blowing – This package exceeds expectations of what’s possible inside Foundry.
• Wackiest – This package will make GMs and players laugh, mostly out of absurdity, or is just weird, but in a good way.
• Most Gorgeous – The package author utilized the game canvas, webpage styling, or design principles to provide an elevated experience for their users.
• Most Massive – The effort that went into the package was evident in the number of features, amount of content, or a wide set of configuration possiblities that enables users to try it a multitude of ways.
• Most Educational – The package author used this opportunity to bring real world knowledge/data into their submission for the benefit of their users, or it allows educational opportunities between GM and players.
• Most Integratabtle – The package allows the most flexibility and interoperability for other packages to leverage an API or configuration options provided specifically for other FVTT package developers.

Update: end of jam delayed

The League of Extraordinary Foundry Virtual Tabletop Developers is proud to announce its third-anniversary package jam!

A Package Jam is an event where anyone can participate by creating a new module or system (called “packages”) for Foundry VTT. It is a great way to start Foundry development or try something new and different from your existing packages. At the end of the event, the players can vote for their favorite packages, and the winners even get a small prize.

Anyone interested in publishing a new Foundry VTT package is encouraged to participate. The primary goal of the package jam is to provide a fun and engaging environment for new developers to explore FVTT package development.

If you aren’t already there, please consider joining the League’s Discord server. There’s no other place like it if you’re interested in FVTT package development!

Submitting a package

There are a few condition in order for your package to be eligible:

• It must be submitted between now and midnight on August 22nd (EST).
• It needs to be approved by Foundry staff for the official package listing.
• An open source license is required.
• It must be compatible with FVTT v10.
• You must include the following field in your manifest file:

"flags": {
    "fvttdevleague": {
        "package-jam": 2022
    }
}

Winning a category entitles you to one of our TBA prizes, including gift cards to The Forge!

Voting on Foundry Hub

This year we have a two-phase voting system.

First, a panel of volunteer judges will each nominate entries for consideration in each category. The top entries in each category will form the shortlist for that category!

Afterward, we’ll open the voting to anyone with a free Foundry Hub account. Each Foundry Hub member votes for up to three of the nominees in each category. The one with the most votes is the winner! Don’t forget the best overall package, which every package will be eligible for! If it’s your first time submitting a FVTT package, your package will automatically be nominated for the “first package” category.

Become a judge

If you aren’t able to participate by submitting a package, we will make a public call for volunteer judges in August, so make sure to join our Discord server and get the @league-announcements role to be notified for that. People entering into the Package jam are not eligible. Anyone who doesn’t complete their package in time for the jam may submit their interest as a judge instead.

Fine print: Official start time July 22, 2022 12:00 PM. Official end time August 22, 2022 12:00 PM. All submissions must be compatible with Foundry VTT V10, packages that the judges are unable to get running or test will be disqualified from nomination. Judge votes have equal weight. A developer can have a maximum of 2 packages nominated per category. If a category doesn’t get more than three nominees, that category will be removed. For the public voting phase, Foundry Hub user votes have equal weight and are not ranked. A user can cast a maximum of 3 votes. The package with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie for most votes, tied entries share the victory. The prize recipient will be decided according to a 1vs1 Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons Level 14 deathmatch adjudicated by an impartial dungeonmaster. No fudged rolls, all DM decisions final.

The League of Extraordinary Foundry VTT Developers is celebrating one year since Foundry Virtual Tabletop was released (May 22) and the League’s own first anniversary (July 13) by hosting a Package Jam between those dates!

Categories, Winning, and Prizes

Each contestant will be awarded an exclusive 3D D20 crafted by The Rollsmith for use with the Dice So Nice! module to commemorate their participation in this package jam.

Some emotional Stuff

The League’s first package jam’s announcement started with this triumphant declaration:

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.
