Poor you! Our panel of monkeys will be judging you on:- Must include an NPC called Keeton
- Innovative: Is it a clever use of the small space?
- Complete: Is it complete? Could you run it?
- Attractive: Is it pleasant to look at?
- Professional: How much effort went into layout and style?
- Extras: Did they include actual cover, index, character sheet or any other cool things you get in a proper RPG? Yes, even in a Pocketmod!

Can we write and submit in October, or November only?
Hello! Good question. It's only in November, I'm afraid. You can practise, and play with some themes but the game itself should only be written in a single 24 hour period in November.
Good luck!

When you said without numbers does this mean no printed numbers on the pocketmod or no number at all (any kind of arithmetic, this mean no dice, no counters or token...) ?
Hi Stab, it's a good question. Go as far as you can without numbers. We're really talking about arithmetic here. We're avoiding the vast number of die based mechanics that are stat + mod < target number.
Bartering, counters and tokens are all good, as are purely narrative solutions. If you find you're writing "Strength: 5", you've gone wrong! ;-)
thanks for the reply.
makes more sence to me now, I already got a few ideas for that more or less boardgamey ^^ I just hope my shity english will not get in the way when I'll try to write anything...
Hey Stab, we don't mind if English is not A+! We have lots of Monkeys on 1KM1KT for whom English is not their first language and they submit some great games. As long as we get the idea of the game, that's all we judge on.
I wanna join. But I'm scared. :-)
