New Designers

Each year Pheno is proud to encourage games writers who are new to writing for Cons to have a go.

At the end of each game the players will be asked to vote for the new writer whose game was the best, and that writer will go on in the next year to write one of Pheno's prestige games: the Triptych!

New designers are marked with this symbol: new designer

 

The Triptych

Each year, three respected designers are invited to present a systemless single session game as part of a triptych. Each scenario emphasises characterisation, psychological realism and drama. Each game will be judged separately, but teams competing in all three games will also be eligible for the Triptych Perpetual Trophy.

Freeforms

Freeforms are big games for up to 50 (or rarely, and insanely, more...) players, whose characters are collected in some kind of social gathering in which they interact, intrigue and politic with each other.

 top

Team games

AKA tabletops, these are games for groups/teams of about 5 players with generally one GM.

 top

Special events

These are special events that are not strictly roleplaying games, but are lots of fun nonetheless.
