SPOOKY DESIGN 2016!

A Table top RPG contest

Hello there fellow designers!

This year, I wanted to start a contest myself. The Spooky Design Contest will start today and end November, 2nd. This is intended for table top game designers, both seasoned and beginners, and all in between, who love to bring their ideas to reality and have a little bit of challenge.

Obviously, some rules are to follow:

– The contest starts today, 12th of October and will end November the 3nd, midnight (GMT-11). You have 3 weeks to work on something cool!

– The theme is obviously Halloween-related. Monsters, ghosts, murder, demons… everything related to supernatural beings connecting with reality and people is fine, for as long as it keeps being dreadful.

– There’s a limit of 6000 words. This is about 4 A4 pages (210×297 mm or 8.3 × 11.7 in), or in other words 2 sheets (the reference font and size are Times New Roman, 10). Exceeding the limit by a bunch of words is acceptable, just don’t stretch it too much.

– Be creative, bring something innovative to the contest. Make it something you didn’t prepare beforehand.

– No hacks or additional material for other games are allowed. It must be a stand alone games.

– The language of the submission must be English.

The week that follows the contest will be for peer reviewing. This means that you’ll vote for other designer’s games. This process will be done through Google Modules, so the winner(s) will be immediately declared the day after the peer reviews are done. If you submit your work, you commit to the peer review process, too.

Once you’re done with your work, feel free to upload it in PDF format to this google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B33DRSaKGHacay1hQy0telppV0U?usp=sharing

Anyone is free to access and upload to the folder anytime, and read other’s entries.

Have fun, and good fright… I mean, luck!
