Conlang speedrunning

The Agma Schwa Conlang Speedrunning Method is described below, with the dice rolls being optional, either to randomize the challenge level or to avoid indecisiveness.

If you make a speedrun and would like to submit your time for the leaderboard, record your attempt with the time visible and submit it to the Agma Schwa Discord server or to nguhmail@gmail.com.

NB: We do our best to update the documentation below as needed; however, should it differ from the Official Google Doc, then the latter takes precedence.

Leaderboard

The following lists, which are small but growing, are of proven conlang speedrun records according to this method. To submit a time, please see the submitting a run section below.

Dice% is defined as: A run where any variables that are presented with dice options are actually rolled, and the runner deals with the consequences of those rolls.

Any% is defined as: A run where the dice are either not rolled or are rolled selectively in order to improve the speed.
