  24. Welcome to rec.games.design, a newsgroup for discussing the design aspects of
  25. games -- board games, computer games, role-playing games (RPG's), card games,
  26. or any other sort of game.  Post
  27.  - ideas for games,
  28.  - analysis, comments, and thoughts about game systems,
  29.  - questions about how something should work in a game,
  30. or anything else about designing games.
  31.  
  32. This group is *not* about
  33.  - how to play specific games
  34.  - sales advertising (but game designer job postings are OK)
  35.  - games programming (use comp.games.development.programming.*)
  36. Non-programming, non-hardware aspects of computer game design would fit here,
  37. but there is also a dedicated comp.games.development.design group.  Effects of
  38. AI on computer game design would fit here, but might fit better in
  39. comp.ai.games.
