thewayne | Two new communities for Spare Brains Games

I've started two communities for Spare Brains Games, my game company. The first group is

sparebrainsnews, this is a public group for general news and information on happenings with me regarding SBG.

The second community is

sparebrainsdev, this is a restricted group which requires you to apply to join. In it I will be discussing games that are almost at the play-test stage and that I'll be looking to members of the community for suggestions on more material for the game. I'll get specific along the lines of "These are the cards that describe X, I need another ten or so."

I will not be describing a game's mechanics in specific detail as those have already been worked out by me and I won't be revising them until some playtesting has been done and weaknesses shown. This community is more for fleshing out the atmosphere of the game.

If you're interested in contributing, I'd certainly welcome your input. By now you may have a fair idea as to my sense of humor, and I try to make my games as funny and as gently twisted as possible. I do have to ask you to respect that these game designs are my intellectual property, also please do not re-post any of the information that you see in this forum until after the game is released. Any contributions that are used in the final product will be rewarded in some fashion, possibilities of reward types are described on the community info page.

Ex-Buffalos will be automatically approved (and I'll try to pre-add them as approved), most others on my flist will also be approved. If you've been on my flist for more than couple of months and we've posted back and forth on each other's blogs, you're probably in. If you're not on my flist and I don't know you, your odds for approval are not high.

Please don't ask to join the development group if you're not serious about contributing. People who are approved and show themselves to be not active in some fashion will eventually be booted.

I hope to see you in my communities!
