Clarification/Stupid Question
Paolo D.:
Hi guys,
there's my stupid question: I could have an idea for a submission to this Game Chef, but I'd like to make it as a Solar System scenario, without rewriting all the core rules from the original manual.
Would it be ok for this contest? Or is the game chef just about complete, "stand alone" games?
Thanks,
Paolo
Jonathan Walton:
Paolo: Your Game Chef game is going to be randomly reviewed by several other people who may not have any experience with the Solar System or whatever other game system you might want to base your game on. So your submission has to include all the information someone might need to play the game. Plus, it's really supposed to be a game design competition, not a scenario-writing competition, so if you're just going to use the Solar System more or less as-is, this probably isn't the best contest for that idea. On the other hand, if you're going to adapt the Solar System significantly and can include all the information needed to play in 3,000 words, then, by all means, go for it. Does that make sense?
Paolo D.:
Yes that's ok, thank you Jonathan :-)

Here's my stupid question(s) of the day:
1)Do pre-made character sheets count as supplimental material, if they are integral parts of the game, or do they count towards the 3000 words?
2)Do I need to share my stuff here as I'm working on it? I'm trying to not read through other people's threads so I don't accidentally absorb an idea... and I'm brand shiny new to this whole Game Chef thing, so I'm kinda shy o.O
Hans Chung-Otterson:
Eleri, with regard to your #2, the answer is: only if you find it helpful to your design process. There are no rules about sharing what you're doing in a thread or reading about what people are doing. Participate in that way as much or as little as you see fit. The only rule about showing anything about your design is that you have to submit it by the 15th!
