 		A proposal for ARGs
I'm really excited about the number of people here who know the amount of potential that ARGs have, and I would like to see if we can't make that potential come out.

I have a simple proposal, I would like to form a ARG lab, where those of us who want to push the medium can meet, give ideas and throw together short simple games to see if they work. The games might only be one puzzle or last a week, but we could use them to find out what works and what fails.

You can think of this as a parallel to an indie movie studio that produces short films in order to grow the medium as a whole.

If you have any interest in this idea please PM me or respond in this post.

Thanks!

P.S. despite my talk of a revenue model in other posts I have no interest in setting this up as a company. That topic was just for my own curiosity.

 		Never been there, can't go this year, the event has already been planned out, BUT:

Sounds like something for ARGFest?

 		I was thinking of something more along the lines of a virtual meeting, maybe once a week in which we can theorize.

 		This sounds like somewhat of a cross between the ARG IGDA SIG and the woefully underused #pmguide IRC channel. I think if more people started using that, something like this could come about from it.
