ARPGME 2020 submissions are now open as of April 6th, and will close April 27th.

ARPGME is an online marathon for Action and or Role Playing games that commonly share mechanics between both genres.

This year we would like to explore and showcase other games that may not exactly be as dominate in the mentioned genres but share some mechanics that you may see in many ARPGs.

The simple Criteria is as follows:

• Is this game Action or RPG focused? (excluding its other main genres)
• Does submission video showcase quality commentary?
• Is the game interesting to others that may not know it?
• Is there any form of progression mechanics?

This new 4-point system will help us when scheduling for the marathon and allow for other games or types of submissions to better the variety this time around.

Examples of games that meet the system: Diablo, Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Dark Souls, Fallout, Monster Hunter, Bordlerlands, Mass Effect, Zelda, Dungeon Siege, Chrono Trigger, System Shock, Dragon Age, Kingdom Hearts, BioShock, Pokemon, Mana Series, Gothic, Castlevania, Parasite Eve, Darksiders, Devil May Cry. This is just a small list of games for a reference.

Is there an aweful game that you think is funny or good in some way? Submit that bad puppy and lets have others enjoy it with you. <3

There is rumors there may be a blind race during the marathon, We will let people know more about this and for signups closer to the marathon.

If you have any questions or other concerns feel free to contact MASH or Dale via any of our socials or over at the NASA Marathon discord.

See you online on May 8th!

You would submit it the same as you would for a new game board, with a run. and provide the details necessary and maybe also indicate that you wanted to create a series page fro the titles and link them respectively.

There is no guarantee that a series page will be created, as its up to the srdc staff.

The only way unless you design a bot to access the api and do it for you, is to do it manually. I suggest adding moving them one by one over till they are all done so and then removing them from the original board as to prevent any mistakes or other issues with doing so.

It's time consuming but that is what options you have since its an entirely different board.

Something Stirs deep inside the Castle of Dracula yet again......

You can also easily access the request game under ur profile pending actions near the top right hand side. Once you have met the indicated requirements that ShikenNuggets has stated and you can provide information and a video of the run for the game.

after which you can view the requests in the same section.

when you submit a run or anything on the site it will appear under your profile section in pending actions. https://www.speedrun.com/SecretWein/pendingactions

until it has been verified or other.

Individual Levels are currently being added, This post will be edited to notify once this has been established at set up and everything is concrete enough that submitting runs should things change in the future or be added will hopefully not orphan any runs already submitted. If a level is not listed there will be an option to submit them if they are "Not-Listed".
