About ARG_Discuss

Alternate Reality Games use "real life" as the platform. There is no barrier between players' lives and players' gaming, and so inherently no barriers to entry for non-gamers to participate. The mass-market is welcomed into a game where every life-skill helps, not just touch-typing and mastery of the shoulder-buttons.

Anyone can join the list, all you need is an interest in ARGs - e.g. their potential, the design and development processes, etc.

Potential ARG developers are especially welcome, as are players interested in the theory and practical challenges of running an ARG.
