Tap-in Thread
So back in the day we always had a "tap-in" thread for Game Chef, where prospective chefs declared their intention to participate. Let's see how many folks are game this year!
I'm kinda involved by default, but I'm also hoping to find a couple days free from admin/judge work to write a game too. My game won't be eligible to win, but it would still be fun to participate in peer reviewing alongside everyone else, so I hope that works out.
Tap!

Mike, we've had at least 232 hits on Vincent's random threads page. Just sayin.' I think we're definitely beating last year's 67 games. Might even beat the all-time record of 82. It helps that we have a lot of Italian folks participating too.

For those who don't know, I tend to hang out a lot at #indierpgs on the magicstar network on IRC. With no encouragement from myself at all, looks like we have at least four regulars from the room (and/or #playnow) who are participating this year. Oh, and though I can tell you that I'm not helping any of them, but they're helping the heck out of each other already. Folks better be bringing their best dishes to the table this year, is all I'm sayin...
I ain't got time to help them, even if I wanted to... I'm working on my own designs over there! Stop in and say hi. We're open for business most of the hours that are on the clock.

I suppose I'm tapping in. Completely forgot about Game Chef until I happened to hit reddit (I go onto /rpg maybe once or twice a month, so that was really lucky) and see that the ingredients were posted.
I'll be designing and writing this with my roommate, who's also moving out this week, so "Last Chance," indeed.

Thanks so very much for your encouragement and support,
Tbh it is just my computer playing up really that is the big problem, and losing my portable hard drive.
So Ill try to write some more of the game while I am at a friends house, if I baby sit his dogs while he is in hospital I *might* have a chance of completing it, but Ill just put a note in the ideas dump that anyone can use the premise and whatever. I had some extra mechanisms, and some possible elements of story that I could not use personally because of time, and word limit constraints, so I would love for someone to give the game a whirl.
What will prolly happen is that I will finish the game at a later date, and just link to it on RPGnet, or similar site so that the forum members that expressed interest get a chance to at least see a final version, even if it means it is not eligble to be a contestant I think there are a few submissions (such as the judges) that are just doing this for some creative fun. Personally I just wanted to get some Cheffery happening so that I got an idea of working around that kind of restraint.
I did a solo challenge of the 24 hour RPG the other week, and I used the theme of 2011 Game Chef to write a game with unique dice mechanisms, and some background story. It was universally hated and despised on RPGnet. So I am sure that all of these kinds of challenges will help me grow as a writer and collaborator in the RP community.
I dont know how to use a camera-phone, though I guess I could write up the game and scan it from an internet cafe or library. So thanks very much for that suggestion DevP, it is a really good one!
Cheers for the advice and mentoring,
:) Snake_Eyes

RE: Re: Tap-in Thread
Not sure where to post this, but I am officially tapping out. I actually got fairly far along in the process, but I am not submitting the game for a variety of reasons, most of which are personal. The most compelling and pertinent reason is that although I think my game had some interesting ideas, I ultimately designed something that I would probably have no interest in playing.
I still look forward to reading the other submissions.

I put the first submission in my thread posts #12 and #13. I dont think it is up to the standard for proper submission. (Since I am posting from a friends computer I cant export it as a PDF).
;_;
If anyone is interested Ill export it as a PDf when I get my computer fixed, and I will submit it as a late (and ineligible) entry, prolly in a week or two.

I submitted a game several hours ago, but my comment on the submission page is still "awaiting moderation" ...
Not sure if that's normal (other Chefs already submitted their game after me), so I hope there's nothing wrong with my stuff.
It was a really great experience, I'm still working on three other designs that will not be submitted (running out of time here).
Now, I'm looking forward to review other Chef's games !
