Colorado, USASite looks good so far, but one question - why are subcategories with no submitted runs no longer marked as empty?
Request categories here. I will not add a category if you cannot show me a completed run, otherwise I'm pretty open.
If you're not sure if a category would fit on the boards, ask here.
I'm keeping the amount of categories limited until the full release of the game due to balance changes creating legacy categories/runs. I'll add more categories once the game releases, so don't worry!
Discuss rules here. I'm open to suggestions, don't be afraid to throw stuff out there!

Should be fine to just load back in as long as it's the same day, though if the vendi bug triggers (selling all of your potions on load) I'm not sure how to handle that. I would say it's fine, I think? I'm probably okay with allowing that glitch.
My opinion is basically that as long as you load a save made during the current run, you can do whatever you want. It's perfectly fine to go to menu on day 29 and load day 25 to try and fish for better Baptiste RNG, for example.
Time ends on last input, so when you press the final "skip" button in the run. I wouldn't worry about it too much - runs can always be re-timed if necessary.
Good luck with your runs! :)
Post here if you have any objections/additions/changes to the current rules that you would like to see, and we can discuss them.
Please note that your suggestions will likely only be considered if you have submitted runs to the leaderboard.
Explanations for current rules:
Timing: First and last required inputs
Game must be restarted: Memory corruption is inconsistent and weird, plus will likely (hopefully) be patched out in the future. It also causes weird things occasionally that might make the run annoying to watch, and honestly? It's not that useful or interesting. If you really want to use it, I'd rather add a new category, personally. (NG+?)
No editing game files (including config): Up for debate. Banned for now because it's easier.
Most recent version required: Backpatching is a pain and doesn't add much value to the run. Super potions are prolly fun to mess with, but overall it's better (imo) to keep runs limited to the most recent version due to accessibility.
No, no one's written any guides for it, just our own route notes that aren't updated here. If you want someone to share their notes, I recommend joining the community discord and asking there: https://discord.gg/2UgaNF8
The only person that has an up to date route for Normal NG however is Griotte_at, we mostly all run different categories. He does have route notes, but they're in Japanese - https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSSj8NjvRozifvf1zKEJInPpJV1DfVXExTS8DTHRnndoo5YIZytJhdthNmGITwvGD565pS8zPqTMKib/pub
