Never made a game? Make one right now. In 3 minutes. It'll even fit in a tweet.

Essence is as simple as it gets. It gets to the core of what a game is and reminds you of the silly things we all did as kids. Blow bubbles. Be a cat.

Four different formats are provided as templates, but I swear it's dead simple. Make one now, then you can say you have a game under your belt.

This SRD is 6 pages in length, including the cover, and a lot of that is me being verbose.

Reminder: Meta-Progression Challenge

Only 25 days left to submit your game to the Meta-Progression Challenge!

The Meta-Progression Challenge is a chance to design a game in which the players may replay the game again and again with some advantage or tweak that they didn’t have the last time. Each play may be a new experience without the need to irreparably alter components like a legacy game or create a set of new missions, stories, or maps like a campaign. Imagine a cooperative game that gets harder each time it is won, or a quick racing game that allows players to spend their winnings to change parts on their car between races, or a sports game where players can manage their team and draft better talent between kick-offs.

The possibilities are endless and it’s up to the player to decide how they want to shape their experience. Enter now and push the boundaries of what a game can be!

Note: Entries must be submitted no later than 7pm US Central on April 30, 2023.

Sometimes I crave seeing content of my OCs made by someone other than me. Seeing the way someone else draws my characters. Reading the way another person interprets and writes them.

Maybe one day I’ll reach a point when I see that. I just gotta find the energy and inspiration to make that Big Content to inspire someone else.

New Contest: Lunchtime Game Challenge

Eat Lunch and Board Game is a podcast dedicated to reviewing games that can be played over a lunch hour. In today’s work environment, especially as we are all coming back to the office, what better way to meet or reintroduce yourself to your coworkers than over a board game?

Adam Collins, host of Eat Lunch and Board Game, has started lunchtime gaming at his current job, and a few prior places as well. He has strived to get people out of their cubicles, away from YouTube video watching, and to the game table to breakdown walls and barriers. Gaming together over lunch has helped to get to know each other, build lines of communication, and make the workspace a little smaller.

In his last position, he met his now business partner in Bearded Board Games. They design and develop games, the first of which was designed to be played in a lunch hour. It was even play tested by other coworkers in the office.

Adam is looking for a new game to play with his coworkers over lunch. The game should incorporate player interaction. Theme and mechanics are open. Player count and play time are of the utmost importance here. The game should be playable in 45 minutes so set up and tear down can take it to 60 minutes, and it should be playable by at least 2 to 4 players. Six players would be the preferred. As gaming groups grow, everyone wants to play for the trophy.
