I'm looking through now trying to catch quests that might not make it through.

Make sure your quest, when printed, can contain the entirety of the map on the upper half of the page and the entirety of the quest notes on the lower!  If you need more space for LORE, this can go on a second page for interested players but will not be looked at in the jam by the judges!

Please, please please make sure your awesome quest isn't overburdened by rules, lore, NPCs and text that is too hard to read or overtaking the quest document because of its sheer amount!

I apologize but I will not be allowing quests like this through, despite the incredible amount of effort that went into making them.

Self-edit, heroes!  Re-submissions after the judgement period starts will not be possible!

At what point is a quest overburdened by rules? Trying to find that sweet spot between minimalist/simple and making the game my own!

As a friendly Quest Jam competitor, I suggest looking at last year's winning quest and compare the complexity of their entry to yours (psst last years winner is also a judge this year).  The competition is to create a cool quest.  I believe you can create a cool interesting and most importantly fun quest without reinventing every hero class.

Thanks for the tip! I am proud of my Pirates. As long as they get some playtesting from someone other than myself, I will consider myself a winner!
