Submission Rules

Made of Secrets: how to send in a character

  1. When the village posts a job, comment one character: a first name, their look and one secret. A line about who they are helps.
  2. Use the show's races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, Halfling or Beastfolk (any animal people).
  3. Original characters only: none from other games, shows or books, and no real people.
  4. Nothing hateful, sexual or harassing.
  5. Reference images are inspiration only. They never go into the game.
  6. I pick 3 finalists, then you vote: reply 1, 2 or 3 under the finalists video. One vote per account on each platform; your latest vote counts. Voting closes 48 hours after the video goes up, and a tie is settled by dice on camera. The final say is mine.
  7. Finalists are asked to reply "I agree". A character moves in only after its creator agrees; if the winner hasn't agreed 3 days after voting closes, the runner-up moves in.
  8. The dice decide: dice set your character's stats and how deep their secret goes. Every roll is made once and never redone, by anyone, me included.
  9. The world is dangerous: characters can be hurt, scarred, exiled or killed, and secrets come out in time. A secret may stay hidden in the videos until the story reveals it.
  10. By sending in a character, you agree that Made of Secrets may use, change and include it in videos, the game and related products, with credit to you and without payment.
  11. Winners get credit and a video of their character.
