Dear miss Sketchbook, are we required to have a theme for play, or can it be open setting?
It's the summer of the RPG at Sufficient Velocity - and that means prizes!

A size in characters or words might be simpler, but otherwise, cool! I have no idea how to condense a RPG description to be that small, but that will be an interesting experiment. I'm just grateful to have some motivation to work on a game presentation, because usually no one seems interested in new PnP systems due tot he effort of figuring out how to use one.
Pretty sure A4's a default size available in Adobe anyway.

You can make an open setting game, but I don't really see the point! With a small game like this, it is always best to pick a strong theme and play to it. I want to play games that leave me imagining the story it will tell!
(Also "Miss Sketchbook" awww I'm blushing. Pro tip contestants, flattery will get you everywhere.)

Will we get any feedback if we don't win? Like, just something quick like "the dice results vary too widely on all the roles for your actions/results to be satifying, but I liked the initiative system and the theme was intriguing." I'd be dying if I knew I had been marked down but didn't know for what.

It should be possible for non-winners to trade criticism with each other, regardless of what else happens.

We don't know how many entries we're going to get. It's hard to make promises about feedback as a result.

Doesn't answer whether or not covers are required, which is the question I was asking.
Come to think of it, the basic resolution mechanic for any game I can think of takes up a paragraph or two.

Hmm... @LordSquishy , I have an old project from college. I can easily reduce it's size to five pages worth and polish it a little bit. Can I submit that?

Looking over the rules again, both a front and back cover are actually needed, yeah. For a micro-RPG like this, it shouldn't have to be anything particularly fancy though. For reference, this is the front cover of Abort Retry Fail:

An RPG RPG might be fun, but you probably wouldn't want to get too attached to your characters or loot.

For anyone needing an example of how to write a super short RPG:
MECHANICAL ORYX
Trash Pandas
D&D 3.5 already exists. As does Eclipse Phase, if you want to be more literal.

High level D20 characters can shrug off a lot of damage. One-hit-kills are pretty rare.
