Can we share our entries on the forum as well, or do they need to remain secret in order to count in the contest?

Please do not.

Figured as much, just wanted to confirm.

One other question. I'm submitting four of them. Can I put them all together in an envelope and mail them to you all that way? Or do they need to be sent as individual stamped postcards to count? I will of course design them as mail-suitable either way.

Is there an example postcard adventure somewhere as a reference?

Included in the Hexagram project.

I looked in the Hexagram PDF and on the KS page and couldn't see an example. Do you have a link Phil?

They were separate files for me. Check your W23 account and get the latest ZIP.

Ah, thanks Shadekeep. I somehow missed them when I downloaded the Hexagram PDF.

Is there a minimum font size, margins, or a maximum space used on the address side? (The example isn't terribly efficient in its use of space.)

I got by on 7-pt with a tiny little map.

A few basic design questions:

1) What is the minimum allowable font size?

2) It sounds like the backside should conform to same general layout as in the dungeons provide with Hexagram, correct?

3) Do the postcards need to be mailed as postcards, or can they be sent within an envelope?

Thanks!

EDIT: And while I was writing this similar questions came in. Ah well, answers are answers, whoever asks. ^_^
