Game Design Fools

What is a Game Design Fool?

Hi, I'm Chris Stone, and I'm a Game Design Fool! What is a Game Design Fool? It's anyone who loves tabletop games of any kind, and is involved in or fascinated by the process of creating them. What kinds of people might be Game Design Fools? Here are just a few examples:

Board game designers: published, not-yet-published, hobby or amateur
RPG game designers
Indy tabletop game publishers
Employees or principals of major tabletop game publishers
Game manufacturer reps or customers
Board game prototyping company reps or customers
PLAYERS! who are curious to look behind the curtain of game design
Content creators who review or discuss tabletop games
Crowdfunding platform reps, creators, or backers
Artists who have worked or want to work in the tabletop space
And so many more!

These are just a few examples of the kinds of people who can be Game Design Fools!
