RE: [Tabletop RPGs] 200 Word RPG Challenge Starts in May!
First i must ask... what is a word? Is it 5 characters, or 6 including spaces?
Or is it any string of characters separated by white space?
I should probably go read some of last years entries, but
i really do not get what is being asked.
They want a 200 word SHORT story about an RPG game?
Or do they want 200 words of basically the GM talking to gamers?
You open the door to see a small room with an unkempt bed, a small table and a chair. There are lace doilies under the tea set... and a giant ogre is swinging at you with a club
Or something else?
Roughly 5 characters, not including spaces.
If you're getting hung up on the specific mechanics of what a word is, this contest is probably not for you. As much as I enjoy a good rules lawyering, it's not going to lead to putting together something which works out.
They don't want a 200 word short story about an RPG. They want a 200 word RPG. They want a game encapsulated in 200 words.
You know, like it says on the tin.
I did say it was a bit of a challenge.
