Welcome! I hope you have fun.

So, no plugins is the ONLY design restriction? Custom sprites and all that are ok? And what about content? Keep it PG, or are swears ok? Horror? Nudity (not that I'm planning on it, just figure it's something SOMEONE might consider)? Thank you!

Let's try to keep it Rated R or lower haha

If you want to use custom stuff that is fine. We are only going to judge based on the creative use of the Event Commands as a primary focal point. No script calls though, that is a sneaky doorway to using plugins, which is cheating. There are a couple other categories which will help eliminate ties but we are really interested on people focusing on making cool tools and systems using the Event Commands.

Fantastic! Really looking forward to seeing what folks come up with Thank you!

I have a question about script calls. Is it fine to check variables with a script call to make it easier to look at?

Sth like: If: Script: $gamePlayer.isMoving()?

Or: se = {...} AudioManager.playSe(se)

I had to make a tough call on Script Calls, even though they are an option in the event commands, they can be used to sneak in plugin code which breaks the rules...
