Hi Jane!
- No length requirement, so write it however you want. But for me, I think 3000-6000 words is a good range. Long enough to show what you think is the core fun of the game and some player and game drama.
And I was assuming most people would submit pdfs, but a text file or rtf file would be fine. You can export from Google Docs as a pdf. - There's so many tabletop RPGs and storygames on itch (and on RPGnow and elsewhere) that no one's talking about playing and that I was hoping people would think would be fun to write about playing. It's what inspired the jam. Would you like suggestions?
- Yes, like Jumanji. The story of people playing a tabletop game. I was thinking a roleplaying or storytelling game, but if you're inspired to write about playing a board game I'd be excited to read that too.
