The Chicago Game Design & Rapid Prototyping Think Tank 4.00 4.008

This is a group for anyone with a game idea (analog OR digital) who needs help/minions to do rapid prototyping, that is:
A - brainstorm
B - test
C - Fix (goto A)

We can use paper mock-ups, throw code around, anything to get ideas rolling. Best of all this meetup takes place in a game store! What better place to find inspiration?

My dream for this group is that we refine and bring to production the works of art we care about.

Want to attend?

You should come to this meetup if you have an idea you need help refining and/or playtesting.
You should come to this meetup if you like new game concepts/mechanics and like finding where things break.

We will be discussing new ideas, working on developing prototypes to test and refine that process over multiple meetups to achieve quality products ready for production.
