What this hub is
Behind every great facilitated session is a designed artifact: a game someone authored, tested and produced. The authors and publishers of facilitation games are a profession within the profession — with their own craft questions, from mechanics and metaphor to production, licensing and distribution.
This hub is being formed as their professional home: a place where designers meet the facilitators who run their games, where playtesting is easy to organize, and where the practical knowledge of publishing in this niche market is shared rather than guarded.
What members will do
Who it's for
