September signals the end of Summer. Its time to get back to staying indoors working feverishly on the latest prototype as the rain lashes down outside. For designers seeking a publisher, there is just over a month to perfect your game before meetings at Essen Spiel in October.
If you've designed a game, bring it along and give it a play or just enjoy playing other people's prototypes in a friendly and constructive atmosphere. Everyone is welcome.
If you would like to bring along a new design, contact Rob Harris (Organiser) and your game will be added to the provisional list.
We have pre-registration to make the sessions run more smoothly. Designers are encouraged to pre-register their games to be playtested before the meetup by leaving a message on the meetup page or contacting Rob Harris (Organiser).
You are still welcome to bring along other designs on the day, but time slots will first of all be allocated to pre-registered games.
We also have a guild at Boardgamegeek.com: www.boardgamegeek.com/guild/1398
