Rules & other Information
- Submissions must use the Plot Template. Your article must be PUBLIC and PUBLISHED to submit.
- The minimum wordcount is 300 words. There is no maximum wordcount.
- Keep the adventure self-contained in a single article (you may link to other content for expanded context or lore).
- You may write an adventure that lasts more than one session, but only one-shots will be considered for Play May. If you want your adventure to be featured in a livestream, keep it short!
- Only one article may be submitted per person (this does not mean one article per world, in cases where multiple authors work on a single world).
- The article must be submitted before the closing time (during the livestream on April 29th) to be eligible for a participation badge.
- Solo RPG adventures will not be chosen for public livestreaming in Play May, but they may be featured in the compilation blog post.
- Similarly, NSFW adventures are allowed and may be featured but won't be chosen for public livestreaming.
- Make sure to credit any art or maps you use (even if you're the author), and that you have permission to use them.
- As always, World Anvil claims no ownership over your original work.
