My apologies for asking another fairly obvious question, but I just want to make a confirmation so I'm not doing something wrong! I've got the title of my micro-RPG at the top of the .txt file, so it goes like this:

-----Title Goes Here-----

-Heading-

Stuff

...

Would something like -----Title Goes Here----- count towards the overall word count? I'm assuming not given what's written, but I just wanted to make a last minute confirmation before submitting.

Thanks!

No worries! Your title will not count against the 200 word limit.

That being said, you'll want to make it clear that your title is a title (and not a part of the RPG itself).
