[ the #threeforged RPG design challenge winner and everything ]

The judges have decided. The winner of The #Threeforged RPG Design Challege is:

15131 Field Work
by Joshua Fox,
Shreyas Sampat,
and Grant Howitt.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated as a designer, everyone who read games and wrote reviews and talked about games and used the hashtag. It's been awesome beyond my expectations.

If you missed it live, you can view the judges' conversation about the finalists here.

And with that, finally the anonymity is lifted. Below are links (in green) to all the versions of all the games. The first grid is all the stages of all the games, even the ones that didn't make it through to the end. The second is what each designer did at each stage.
