Hello, my name is Bryan, I'm not from Fitchburg State University, I'm from Taxco Guerrero, Mexico, a little beautiful silversmiths town, and I wanted to get confirmation that I can participate, I really want to work on my first Tabletop game, I don't have experience but I'm going to do my best, I hope you all are well.

By the way, what does "don't crunch" means? something like "don't give up"?

Thank you.

Hello Bryan. My name is David. I'm the president of the Game Design Student Association (or GDSA) at Fitchburg State University. After talking with the other cabinet members of the club (took very little time btw). We have decided that you are allowed to submit a game! We look forward to seeing your first tabletop game!

Also crunch is an unfortunate reality in the game design industry where people are forced to finish a product in a short amount of time. So crunch-less is, simply put, giving a long time limit and low quality expectations. So it can be a prototype, an alpha, beta, final product, whatever you have. 

TLDR: yes you can join, and crunch-less means a

 long time limit, and low expectations.
