OK this page lists a somewhat historical list of the members.
I suggest we update it to reflect published authors who are also members (for example Tim, who has been a successful indie publisher for sometime).
I also think it would be useful to list those people who are members and are working on forthcoming game projects (such as Graham, Rich, Per...).
So, if you wish to be added please post to this thread and provide a suitable description that is in line with those already on the "Publishers" page. (i.e. Blah Rhubarb of Tubby Custard Games)
That'll be...

I meant to start a thread like this last night... Can people also post which games they'd like detailing on the Games page.
Just a note, that page is just the old info that was on the Mission page. So existing publishers should shout up with amendments.

Yay! I is successful indie publisher!
Although actually, the way most people seem to use "indie" I'm not in that particular canoe at all.
You can refer to me as Tim Gray of Silver Branch Games (www.silverbranch.co.uk). Or "Your Excellency" :D
I think that Games page could use a tune-up. Lessee...
Legends Walk - superheroes empowered by the gods, heroes and monsters of mythology. In standalone Original Edition and as a supplement for Truth & Justice.
Questers of the Middle Realms - the lighter side of traditional fantasy gaming using the PDQ system.
NUGGETS - a series of self-contained mini-games built around a pared-down ruleset - e.g. Dare, unChosen, NUGGETS Fantasy Toolkit.

Can you change the Giant

Can you change the Giant Brain to a link to:
http://www.giantbrain.co.uk
Can you also add to my description:
Mob Justice: Loyalty, trust and betrayal in an America where prohibition never ended.
Revenge of the Bmovie: a card game of making ridiculous B-movie titles.
Reel Adventures: a story game of action heroes, heroic action and diabolical nemeses.
Cheers

Ah, what do we do?
Submitted by Gregor Hutton on Mon, 03/09/2007 - 21:47.
I hadn't added external links for Tim or Graham as I noticed that the other links are internal and point to pages here. Do we want all the links to be external? Matt, any thoughts?
Iain, as B-Movie and Reel Adventures aren't published yet, I'd rather they were not on the "recently published games..." list.
However, should we have a separate page for games in development? In which case they should definitely be on that list.
My thoughts...
Submitted by Matt on Mon, 03/09/2007 - 21:58.
The old individual publisher pages can probably be amalgamated into the single publishers page. The content was pretty light anyhow.
As to games in development, my gut feeling is that they belong in the forum being actively discussed or in a project page being developed, and not elsewhere.
I'd want the games page to be somewhere we can point a retailer if they ask what we've done.

Do we want the games page to link to the relevant IPR and RPGNow pages too, for people to buy the games?
Personally, no.
Submitted by Gregor Hutton on Mon, 03/09/2007 - 22:40.
Here's my reasoning. We have a lot of vendors for our products and I wouldn't want to push some over the others on here (which is why I am always mindful to flag up retailers other than Leisure Games when everyone just mentions Angus). The same is true for YourGamesNow, e23, RPGnow, DriveThru, IPR, direct from publisher, our excellent retail partners (who are already on a page here too!), etc.
I think individual members can choose what they link to from their home pages and I'm totally happy to link to publisher websites for products. Each member can then choose to have what they like on their own site.
But that's just my thoughts and I'm just one hand amongst many thrusting into the air.
I agree with Matt

Just to say I agree entirely with Matt's post.
I'll stick my hand down now.
On games in development...
Submitted by Graham W on Tue, 04/09/2007 - 05:43.
I agree. Keep them in forums.
Any page for games in development will be messy and have games that might not be in active development (it'd probably have Gay Recruitment Squad, for example).

Very well, I got the wrong end of the stick when Matt mentioned people who were developing games rather than published, my bad.
Should the games page have who developed the game underneath each title?

Submitted by Steve Dempsey on Tue, 04/09/2007 - 10:09.
I've had a few bits and pieces published, mainly scenarios such as Prisoner #8 in Cold City, The Laughing Magician for Dying Earth and Trumpton Riots for Call of Cthulhu.
I'm currently writing a Trail of Cthulhu scenario for Pelgrane Press.
I haven't designed any published games though, unless you count my free one page efforts.
