What do people do if they e.g. don't have a Google account, or don't have the skills/knowledge/patience to set up pandoc?
To be clear, I'm happy to follow the sprit of the submission rules, and I agree with them. But the technical requirements that people must use Google Docs or pandoc don't feel like they suit the spirit of the jam, from the way I've read it. If the intention is that people's barriers to entry are removed, why not allow whatever tools people already use? Assuming they stick to the visual style requirements, I mean.
This is great, thank you.
When I play-tested the game, I did it in a digital canvas tool (Figma) which let me paste in the grid image from the rules, and then move virtual pieces around to keep track of combatants. I think a chess board is a good way to do this in the real world, or if you print out the grids and use tokens/pieces of paper. Not quite as "pen-and-paper" as it could be.
I hadn't thought much about the difficulty of combat. I didn't want it to feel unfair, but that's about it. Let me know if you consistently win battles, and maybe I'll think about ways to make it harder.
I've updated the PDF to fix those typos. Well-spotted.
I thought about more varied shapes, but I wanted a left-to-right horizontal approach so that you could draw the dungeon across the top of a piece of paper and still have lots of room below for notes etc. I appreciate that the results are less interesting than if the dungeon e.g. turned back on itself.
