Game Chef

Game Chef was an annual American contest for role-playing game designers.

History

Jason Morningstar submitted The Shab-al-Hiri Roach to the Game Chef 2005 competition, where it was chosen as one of the "Inner Circle" - the group of the nine best games from that year's 28 entrants.[1]: 290 [2]

Morningstar also wrote Durance for the Game Chef 2011 competition.[1]: 304 [3]

With time it evolved into a marketing event which created "national" editions, where small groups of players (generally connected to publishing micro-companies) assigned prizes to friends or game companies for which they worked.[4] Game Chef ended in 2020 due to the low interest demonstrated by the RPG community. Trials to revive it were unsuccessful for the same reason.[5][6]
