Jungle
A downloadable game
The year 2023. Step into a different America, where humans share streets with orcs, centaurs, fairies, and other fantastical beings, while sinister elves rule from the shadows. Skyscrapers paint the horizon, blending modernity with ancient mystique.
Within the city's pulse, power and dangerous magic simmer beneath the surface, driving alliances and secrets. As daylight fades, a world where the ordinary and extraordinary entwine seamlessly comes alive.
Welcome to a world where the old magic thrives, and the city hums with anticipation. Embark on a cinematic journey that unveils a society grappling with power, magic, and the enigmas of existence.
If you're a fan of the movie "Bright" with Will Smith, you'll love JUNGLE.
Also, take a look at the first supplement, "JUNGLE: Random", filled to the brim with different random tables for the game world.
JUNGLE: Inspiration is a one-sheet filled with spark words, tailored to the JUNGLE universe.
And finally, the biggest supplement for JUNGLE so far: JUNGLE: Hood. In it, you'll find a plethora of weird, interesting and always gameable facts about the world. Mystical metro rides, strange vehicles, cult generators, anthropomorphic people, politics, you name it.
Welcome to the Jungle.

Pretty groovy game. I will say the attempt at elevated language in the actual rules is a bit awkward, but nothing game-breaking.
As far as fiction to mine for content, I HIGHLY recommend Daniel Polansky's "A City Dreaming". One of the most stunningly imaginative and over-the-top urban fantasy novels out there.
Thank you! I wanted to try something new, and somehow I think the language fits the setting. Kind of ;)
It is a fun detail. Maybe do a rule summary page? Something so the reader doesn't have to parse the rules out of the prose?
Good idea.
Maybe not in the book, but here:
JUNGLE rules summary
The referee is the final arbiter.
When in doubt, roll 1d20.
The higher the roll, the better the result. Skilled characters do more and better with the same number, compared to unskilled ones.
Sometimes the ref will decide to roll a d20 against yours.
If you roll low, suffer consequences. This is handled narratively.
Destiny Points let you either reroll, or you can avoid injury with them. One is usually enough, but the referee decides, according to the established narrative.
Weak opponents take one hit to die or be knocked out.
Stronger opponents have Destiny Points like player characters.
That'll do it ;-)
See, this is why I love indie games.
Same here :)
BTW, I ran with your suggestion and put the rules summary in the back of the book. Thanks again.
I love the film bright and this game fully captures the tone of the film. Free-wheeling fkr rules and lots of tables, what's not to like! Fantastic thank you for another great game 🙂
Thank you so much! I had so much fun writing Jungle, I'm pretty sure more material will follow :)
