Hope this isn't a 1-time thing!!!

That depends on whether I manage to make my $1000 back!

Congratulations to darkcyril! As a guy who has directed or appeared in half the Shakespearean canon, I heartily approve of your inspiration. This looks like a great game.

Also very glad to see Follow the Leader in 2nd. No slight to anyone else, but that was the game so genius I wished I'd thought of it. "Inability Scores" alone is worth the price of admission. I would actually like to run this at a con or something soon, so now that the rights to the non-1st place finishers have reverted back to their authors, I hope Sir Robilar gives us an update on the future of his creation.

Congratulations, darkcyril! I'm looking forward to seeing the the published product looks like!

Well, thanks to the 4 other people who voted for my entry, Monsters & Ruins (not Monsters Ruins as it says).

Wow, thanks! That is high praise.

I've grown quite fond of the game myself and am considering to self-publish it after a thorough rewrite. I'll let you know once I've given more thought to the issue.

Thank you! The original concept was one I had a while back, but it was much more of a "traditional RPG" in the fact that you had players, a GM, and defined characters that you advanced through play, and it didn't gel very well. When this competition came about, I had just seen the link that had been going around Facebook for Shakespeare Day with James Earl Jones, Alan Rickman, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, and several other actors performing Shakespeare and it shook the idea loose again and through several thought experiments, it evolved into what you saw in the contest.
