It's back and there are 17 days left to submit a game.

If you don't already know there are a ton of one pagers out there. Lots of people know games like Honey Heist and Lasers and Feelings. Once a year there's a big drive to make more.

It's not a contest, nothing gets ranked or judged so it's a nice easy way in to game design. The optional prompt is Rumours and Secrets.

I've made a game called X's in their Eyes and it's a GMless competitive game about going onto a big TV talent show with the the aim of killing off one of the judges in a manufactured performance accident.

I am! It'll be an original game inspired by a few of my favorite movies. I have most of the text done and can't wait to test it out with some friends.

This sounds hilarious. :D

I didn't know about this, but I have ideas. Do you think I can fit a Victorian mystery game on one page or is that too ambitious?

If you can pare it down to its core elements anything is possible.

I can definitely do a mystery. The part I'm struggling with is the Victorian setting. That might end up as just flavoring because I don't know if i can find a way to get the feel right on one page

I'm gonna try to! I only just started today, so I'm up against the clock, but I shooouuuld be able to get my game in in time.
