(Reposting concepts from my art blog)
From February 1st to March 12th I will be participating in RPG Maker Horror Jam #2 with the theme "Macabre Carnival".
I feel this will be an amazing way to take a break from Jake's Halloween Night series, plus have a project to practice new things and try different styles and whatnot.
My main goal is to actually finish the game, since until now I've had some bad luck with Game Jams and never actually finished a project for any of the jams I've participated in.
I decided to get inspiration from Mexican folklore and my culture for a change, but giving it a twist like I do with everything else.
Now about my game project for this jam:
The Girl, the Coyote, and the Rabit (Placeholder name)
"A young girl is on her way back home late at night when she stumbles upon a traveling fair of spirits. Stranded in this strange realm, she has no other option but to follow the advice of Coyote, a strange individual that swears can help her go back to her world..."
Notes: When I say "girl" I don't mean a child, in Mexico is pretty common to get called "Niña" no matter your age. A lot of times it comes in the form of diminishment, but other times is just an easy way to call someone you don't know the name of.
I am a tiny bit worried I am once again bitting more than I can chew, especially because I will be having to do a lot of new tiles since it's a very different scenery from my usual "normal house interior". I tried to do as much as the tiles as I could (don't worry it is allowed for this jam) but dealing with the pain of my wisdom teeth removal did slow me down more than I hoped.
I still don't have my protagonist, I really have been struggling designing her, but I will start worrying about it once I reach the more art part of the development.
I am very excited about this! I hope I can pass on some of that hype to you :D

30 days of horror myths: la llorona
la llorona is a vengeful ghost who is said to roam waterfront areas mourning her children whom she drowned. although there are many variations of the story; this is the common theme: a woman sees her husband with another woman and in a fit of blind rage, she drowns their children in a river, which she immediately regrets. unable to save them and consumed by guilt, she drowns herself as well but is unable to enter the afterlife, forced to be in purgatory and roam this earth until she finds her children.

In our first Pride Month episode, we discussed Santa Muerte, the folk saint and personification of death in Mexico. We discuss different ways of viewing death, her association with the LGBT community, and the way her worship exemplifies the Catholic church's stigma against folk religion.

Lechuza
Tumblr media
"Alternate Harpy design" © FurAffinity user MsChoppington, accessed here
[Did I say one month per continent when I introduced the World Tour concept? I am altering the deal. It's been expanded to two months per. I'm having too much fun with folkloric creatures! Although I am going to expand the purview a little bit. For North America, I already have two fearsome critters, one cryptid and a prehistoric animal in my sights.
"La lechuza" is Spanish for "barn owl", but the name also refers to witches that assume owl form. I figured I'd use this as an excuse to flesh out lower level hags. Maybe your campaign isn't near the sea for a sea hag. Maybe you think that the sea hag's abilities are too much for a low level party (ability damage and a curse that staggers for days is pretty rough). Might I suggest the lechuza as an alternate?]
Lechuza CR 4 LE Monstrous Humanoid This creature resembles a feathered humanoid with wings and strong, clawed legs. Her face is set in a round disc of feathers.
Lechuzas, or owl hags, are shapeshifting creatures that can assume the form of an owl or humanoid from their natural, hybrid state. Of the hags, they are among the most likely to integrate themselves into society, disguising themselves as ordinary women. From this vantage point, they observe the comings and goings of the settlement, figuring ways to best hurt people and spread misery. Most lechuzas are greedy, and can be enticed to serve even goodly causes for sufficient coin—although they prefer that their job when on the side of righteousness involves hurting somebody.
Most lechuzas would rather avoid a fair fight, instead luring a single victim to a place where they can ambush them. Lechuzas are excellent mimics, and may disguise their voice to sound like a crying baby or a loved one calling for help. A lechuza is a powerful melee combatant in its natural form. Their teeth are sharp, but too small to maneuver to a bite attack. Their claws are powerful, however, and can carry away smaller enemies, like halflings, gnomes or children. When facing multiple opponents, they prefer to keep their distance and use spells and their evil eye to soften enemies up before diving into melee.
Lechuza                CR 4 XP 1,200 LE Medium monstrous humanoid (shapechanger) Init +3; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Perception +11 Defense AC 16, flat-footed 13, touch 13 (+3 Dex, +3 natural) hp 37 (5d10+10) Fort +3, Ref +7, Will +5 Offense Speed 30 ft., fly 50 ft.

Lechuza hit dice stack with witch levels for determining the effects of the evil eye hex, but not for other hexes. The save DC is Intelligence based.
