Thank you!

As always, thank you for participating in the 24 Hour RPG Contest!

FYI

To nitpick, but somewhat because it affected someone at Game Chef, technically we are on Daylight Savings Time so it would be CDT. Unless you are using standard time, which would be 1 hour behind the current US time. It might be easiest to inform them to reference this for the official start and stop times.

Interesting

I have a bad feeling that I will either be busy during that time, or simply forget. Much of the past few days have been spent cleaning for passover and getting my game chef entry almost presentable. (Quite frankly, I never finish projects.)

Does it have to be a historic time period? Art deco Zeppelins and ray guns on Saturn sounds amusing for some inexplicable reason. Of course, that probably too much pre-thought about the contest already - which is another reason I rarely work on 24 hour games.

There is a fine line between hobby and obsession. I seem to have lost sight of it some time ago.

But not possible

Easter for me, spent with family in Ireland. No access to broadband and spending 24 hours in front of a DTP setup is right out.

Ah well.

Maybe next time.

hehe

prethought is definitely allowed... that is why we gave you the theme ahead :)

and it DOES say any time period, right :)

Actually...

the modus site says it has to be before 1914 o_O

OK...

Would you believe Jews emigrated to Saturn in 1883 to escape a tsarist pogrom? Cossacks were not much better than nazis. Nor were communists. For that mater I haven't heard good things about Putin's government either. Northern Asia hates us :(

hmmm...

we changed it :)

Thank the muffin

Awesome, i get to keep my original plan.

I really wish

I really wish that it was running during the week

sigh
that is like the worst time in a week for me to work on it
Can we use mechanics from other games and tasks we have done
What about format of the entry (i.e. pdf, txt, etc)
SO any time period is acceptable correct?
Thanks
