Friendships? Tested.  Dreams? On the line.  Debut? Not guaranteed.

You are a group of trainees participating in a Kpop idol survival show. Your goal is to debut, but...only half of you will make it into the final group!

Will you survive all of the audition rounds, stand out from the pack, and dodge the dreaded Evil Edit?  Fighting!

What is Glitter and Grits?

Glitter and Grit is a Laser & Feelings and Honey Heist hack in which you are trainees in a Kpop survival show, trying to debut in a Kpop group. Kpop survival shows are elimination-based reality competitions in which trainees compete in a series of performance challenges. During the show, contestants are gradually eliminated, and those who make it to the final round are selected to debut as a new idol group.

Miscellaneous Notes

Some of the mechanics have not been tested yet. Feel free to email me with any feedback, as I plan to update it further in the future.

There is no difference between the versions aside from the cover art and some of the outfits in the character sheet. 

This game can be played in a smaller group, but it is more fun with a larger group of players. 

* Please note that many of the weakest performances tend to occur during the initial auditions, especially by trainees who have little to no experience or who are still learning Korean. So take the title Worst with a grain of salt
