Survivor Game Classification Rubric - If you are planning to moderate a Survivor game, your game will be given a classification rating so as to give any players a general sense of what to expect in your game. The listmod assigned to your game will go over with you why your game has the rating that it does. If you are looking to run a specific classification of game, this should give you a sense of what you can or can't do in designing to stay within that classification.

Live Games Challenge Idea Database - A resource created by another ORG community which details quick and casual challenges that could be used in live games. You'll likely want to write up your own ruleset for these.
