Ipsum Certanum Gaming Society

Welcome to the Ipsum Certanum Gaming Society.

We're a gaming society with a passion for new games and rising stars in game development.

As a result of our love for all things new and unseen, we've been hosting an annual gaming contest called the ICGS Nova Game Contest since 2010.

Current rules require shipping the game to us for a given category and we judge it against a field of competitors.

To be a valid game the submission must currently include:
  • A fully playable game released within the last 2-3 years or in prototype form.
  • A complete and legible set of rules.
  • A description of what inspired you to create the game.
Games are currently judged on:
  • Completeness
  • Fun
  • Rules
  • Interest
  • Uniqueness
  • Art and Imagery
  • Anything else we decide
We also award the following prestigious awards:
  • The Novum Elit Award for exceptional designers who we believe are rising stars in the field of game development.
  • The Dave & Gary Award to bring attention to, and honor those who push back the frontier and advance great strides in the field of RPG game development or design.
