Sorry to double-post, but should we be using text from the original submission? Or re-writing the parts we’re transferring over into our own words?

Indeed. Obviously the spirit of the contest is that you utilize the prior work in some way but there is absolutely no requirement that any specific portion of the actual text be carried forward.

Well, I'm having a bad week, and I thought my creativity would be completely shot. But I think I had the creative breakthrough I needed format-wise. Specifically, Gals and Goons is going to become a belonging outside belonging game. Now I just need to do the hard part, writing. DalaranJ fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Jul 19, 2021 |

NDNM is easily my favorite new tech to come out of the last five years or so of RPGs!

Okay, started with 1000 words, worked for a solid two hours tonight, word count says I’m at... 500 words. Oh, dear. Well I’m on the right track at least.

Honestly, I’m really struggling with this phase. I don’t know if I’m going to get something done in time, though I’m going to do my very best.

It's only the second phase, so I think it's more important that you do something than that thing is complete or even good.

# ? Jul 23, 2021 18:57 |

Yeah, my assumption is that things can still be pretty raw. Just do what you can, and if it doesn't work out, that's okay.

I've had a run of bad luck and haven't had much time to work on this, I'll try to get something done by tomorrow though.

I can definitely see this one being very difficult! I think this is where it turns from a sprint into a run, and getting over that hump can be very difficult. If you are struggling with the deadline, just please stay communicative - my goal for this is to have as many people finish, not to be some sort of timekeeping czar.

Is the deadline tomorrow into midnight Sunday or the end of the 25th.

# ? Jul 24, 2021 00:08 |

End of day Sunday, so you have slightly more than two days remaining.

Is your preference for us to hit the deadline or the word count? e: I will say that with this sort of contest we really want as many as possible to get through stage 2 so there are plenty of interesting stage 3 options. The last contest I was in narrowed from 30 to 4 finishers and I’m glad that doesn’t seem to be happening here. DalaranJ fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jul 24, 2021 |

I would absolutely prefer more entrants, so whatever you want to turn in is great. I just set a word guideline so that people had an idea for how much to add, not as a creative straitjacket.

Hmm, well, I think I've made a conceptual error (I'm sure I've made a number since I've never worked with this system before) but it's too late to correct. I conceptualized a number of the fronts/opposing forces as facets of the status quo, which sort of makes those ones a bit samey. Although I guess I'm happy I made one for Parents? e: I guess I'm also upset that too many of them are sort of aligned with a certain group of location, so a lot of the pick up instructions are "You go to the place" DalaranJ fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Jul 25, 2021 |

Basically, keep the thread posted on your progress if you still intend to submit but don't have it done by then!

I'm closing in a couple thousand words, but might need an extra day depending on where I end up tonight.

I definitely will be submitting something, even if it’s not as complete as I’d like it to be.

I'm a little behind, as my planned time to finish this off was eaten up by other things this weekend. Definitely gonna submit something, but might be a day late.

Same! There's definitely stuff here that will need a rework, to the point that I could probably put a FIX THIS, AUTHOR 3 section at the end, but whatever happens, happens. Here's hoping I can finish it into a broadly acceptable form in 2.5 hours...

Here's hoping I can finish it into a broadly acceptable form in 2.5 hours... A few minutes after submitting, I realized "hm, that last-minute change I made may have broken the action economy wide open." But you know what? That's someone else's problem. And really, what is a problem in this context, but an opportunity for improvement?
