- Annexes, character sheets, maps, playbooks all count towards the word limit.
- You may submit multiple games or co-author with others.
- Publish your work as PDF (minimalist or designed, as you like).
- You must disclose any AI use if it was involved in creating illustrations, layout, or generating written content (You do not need to mention AI used for spelling checks, rewording, or general writing assistance.).
- Optional: You can share a plain text version alongside your main file. This helps people who may have difficulty with fonts, colors, or layouts that could hinder accessibility.
