Outtage RPG Contest- Story Games is down!

[Troy_Costisick]

Heya,

Have you read this: http://community.livejournal.com/storygamesinfo/834.html

It's a great idea.  So I'm going to start it.  Who knows when Story Games will be back up?  It could be tonight, it could be 3 more days.  Or longer.  So here's the deal.  Write a game using the 24 Hours rules from the 24 HR RPG project (http://www.24hourrpg.com/) except you can work on it until Story Games is back up.  The theme of your game should be Blackout.  Interpret that however you want.  Post here when you start and when you finish.  Adding a link to the draft version would be great!  We'll see if we can get Andy to host the games at 1km1kt or something.  Okay, get to work!

Peace,

-Troy

I FIXED STORY GAMES!

I knew as soon as I posted this, Story Games would come back up.  We've got to remember this trick in the future.  But it seems a shame to waste this opportunity.  So here we go.  You have 7 days to complete your design.  Submit them to me in PDF format at tcostisi@hotmail.com and I'll still see if I can get Andy to host the pdfs.  I'll choose which one I think is best and send that person a free copy of Cutthroat.  Get back to work!

Peace,

-Troy

[Andy Kitkowski]

Holy crap I will totally host your PDFs.

Don't drain too much brain-juice, cause Game Chef is right around the corner ( www.game-chef.com ).

What the heck. I had time today, so I started at 11:30 and just finished. Game on the way to you.

I had a surprise day off and an idea nagging at me, so I'm in. Started writing something at 11am today. It's just the bibliography. Let's see what I can do.

Stick a fork in it, my RPG is done.

Comedy Blackout

I probably should have added a few more notes and examples, but I ran out of time.

Mailing the PDF next...

[Bryan Hansel]

Didn't think about posting a link and putting the game online. Here it is: Blackout on the Elevator

I totally should have added examples. My bad.

One More Day!

The Outtage RPG Contest will end tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon!  get your designes done and sent to me.  I will announce a winner within two weeks (or sooner if possible).  You've got less than 36 hours, so get to work!

Peace,

Okay, I'm going to look over the submissions and select a winner.  I'll try to give as useful feedback as I can in the thread about each of the games that was submitted.  Thanks to everyone who participated.  I'll send the PDFs to Andy when I get a chance

Peace,

Congratulations, John.  I'll be contacting you about your free copy of Cutthroat soon.   And later on tonight, I'll be posting my review of all the games that were submitted.  Thanks for participating guys and I hope this serves as a good warmup for the Game Chef that starts this week.

Peace,

Thanks, Troy!

How many entrants total were there? And has Andy posted the links page yet?

[Bryan Hansel]

Congrats, John. Way to go. You took the challenge way more seriously than I.

[Andy Kitkowski]

Congrats! 

Sorry, been too hooked into Game-Chef to raise my head to breathe, much lest pump my fist and yell "woot".

Feel free to start a thread on S-G to discuss, get other reviews, cheer, etc.
