This writers group will be made up of amateur to professional writers who will learn from each other and progress together. I hope to set up a mentor program and start groups according to genre and ability. We welcome all mediums, including poetry, fiction, script/screen plays, science fiction, fantasy, and non-fiction. Some meetings will just feature a safe place to relax and write, and some will be set up for critiques, brain-storms, and workshops. I want to offer a unique experience of friend …

The purpose is that of open discussion on short stories and novels most likely at the start being 20-21st American writers but I am …

The Dallas Designers Group is focused specifically playtesting unpublished, unpolished, and prototype board/card games. Have a great game idea and need to get a variety of feedback? This is the place! The DDG is an open, friendly place for designers to test their work while trying others! Since group meetings are primarily attended by designers who want to test their games, we balance being a host and being a tester with a concept called Playtest Points. Each time you playtest someone's game …
