Level 1 Anthology 2024

Command Line

The 2024 edition of Level 1 is themed around "command line." This year's designers take us to the internet, the future, and other worlds. We have abandoned Discord servers, viruses, robots, and even golems. We have hacking simulations and a simulation of hacking. You can become a god, an outer space pet, or, as predicted, a hacker.

So strap on your keyboard, and get ready to jack into the net, chummer!

Level Up Fund

Our goal for Level 1 is always to feature unique and underrepresented voices. We look for games that shine a new light on an old idea or bring something new to the table. This has lead us to creating the LevelUp Fund.

Proceeds from polymorph™ system licensing fees, donations for previous volumes of Level 1 on our website, DriveThru RPG, and itch.io, as well as any sponsor dollars remaining after the production of Level 1 will all go into the LevelUp Fund.

The LevelUp Fund allows us to grant designers free use of the polymorph™ system!

We will be expanding information on the LevelUp Fund soon, so keep an eye out for more news!
