I Finished My Game! Now What Should I Do?

[Andy K]

Hi all- Just a quick announcement before I get a chance to post the information on the Game Chef website.

When you are finished with your game, please do whatever you can to compact it to less than 5 Megabytes (most entries will be less than 1/10 that anyway, but just in case you decide to use huge amounts of pics, please scale it so that the file(s) take up 5MB altogether) and send it in any form: TXT, HTML, PDF, DOC, ZIP, etc to the following email address:

gamechef@gmail.com

Please Include the following 3 pieces of information:
Your Name
The Name of your Game
A short 2-5 sentence description of your game (imagine that your game was published and you were writing a small blurb about it for a trade mag or the back cover)

Within 24 hours you will receive a reply if your game got to us fine. It may simply be one single word sent by email: "CONFIRMED". Sorry about the abruptness of the message, but we have a lot of entries to tally this year. As soon as the contest is over, we'll be posting your game to 1KM1KT, and also to the Game Chef site.

Finally, if you want, if you have webspace somewhere, feel free to upload your game. Then, go ahead and post a link to your game here in this thread- And feel free to brag about finishing early!

Thanks for your time!

As we've been told to post... yes, my entry is in. It's a dessert rather than an entree, but then, there are those who feel dessert is the most important meal of the day. It's calorie lite (1300 words) but flavor rich.

holds "Founding Fathers", the RPG of 1776 America, a wonderful game of wine, accusers, and companions. Become a signer of the Declaration of Independence and carve out the new republic, all over wine at a companion's house. Keep your enemies close and your friends closer.

Enjoy, and save space for the rest of the entries!

I just submitted The Shab-al-Hiri Roach.

"The Shab-al-Hiri Roach is a dark comedy of manners lampooning academia. It asks players to answer a difficult question - would you let a soul-eating telepathic insect bent on destroying human civilization crawl down your throat?

No?

Even if it got you tenure?"

Rules:


Cards:


You can print the cards using avery business card sheets.

Whew! Just emailed it in with not even 25 minutes to spare with my own reduced deadline. Hope everyone else has equal or better luck! Can't wait to see all the finished products.

I'm more than willing to host any gamechef game online, if that helps.

Just send a message with the game as an attachment to: jp@greyearth.com and I'll put it up on my site.

Blood and Bronze has been submitted. In theory, I have two more days, but those two days will be spent at home with three kids that I haven't seen all week. Priorities, man.

It's a short game; the complete text is in the thread here.

thanks!

I've just submitted The Dinner Party to the GameChef email address. That's it now, I can't take it back...

I did make a few last minute changes to the text, and you can view my final entry using the links below:





And here's my blurb for the game: "A game of social viciousness and revelation for 4-8 mature players. The setting is a dinner party in November 1974 - the players act out their characters Hangups while playing spiteful conversational games and getting progressively more drunk. Can you gain enough courage to face your Issue, or will you collapse in the downstairs lavatory or get thrown out of the party? Uses six-sided dice for resolution, the rules are simple but the tactics are deep. Like a Harold Pinter play, but with less pauses!"

Good luck to everyone, I hope you are all close to finishing your own projects (Because I want to see them!)
