I don't get it. I just don't get it, and I am not the only one. There is literally no explanation as to what Cryptic expects. I verified the website and concluded that the third party company designs board games. Ok, so? It still doesn't tell me what Cryptic expects us to do.
I get that they want us to write up to four pages, but there is zero examples of the format they expect in return. I have never heard of Mophidius before yesterday, and I have zero knowledge about what their games are or how their stories for their games are written.
Because of that, I won't participate. Simply because I don't understand what they want, or how they expect us to create this story.
Hopefully someone here can explain to the millions of us who have never even heard of Mophidius before, how we present what Cryptic has [somewhat] asked.

"Four pages is a short amount of time to get a full story in, so make sure your storytelling is as efficient as possible. You can submit the entries in any format, but you should really take a look at an STA book at your friendly local game store for some good ideas on how to proceed. We can’t wait to see what you come up with, Captains! When your submission is ready, send it to community@crypticstudios.com."

As valoreah said, I too have never watched any livestreams related to that. In fact, I didn't even know it existed, and a lot of people don't either.

So hey; if you have the book, go for it!

The blog specifically says the story has to be able to run inside the ruleset of the game. Are you saying the blog is incorrect in that statement?

Pretty much this. It's a way to try to get people interested in buying the rulebook on a game the devs play.
^ THIS.
But apparently it's too hard for the management people to actually assign routine maintenance on a popular part of their own game more than once every 5 years - - so how about doing the same story telling thing with another game that they DON'T have to think about!
