he Design Collective is an idea spawned from the UK Roleplayers forum, to gather a group of people involved in the creation and publishing of independent* roleplaying games. Our stated aim is to create a community that helps games get created, publicised and released to the world by pooling our respective talents and contacts.
This blog contains posts about the development of specific games, more general posts about the whole game making process, from early ideas to release and anything else that seems appropriate.
To join the collective you simply need ask in the comments, provide your e-mail address and commit to making at least 1 post per month. The ‘UKRP’ is about where this started and the kinds of people already involved, there is no requirement to live/work/come from the UK, and there is enough overlap between roleplaying games and board/war gaming that they are welcome too.
If you aren’t interested in joining then we hope you still find this site to be a useful and informative way to follow the development of some exciting new games.
* There are too many definitions of ‘independent’ so, for the sake of this group, if you self identify as ‘independent’ then that’s good enough for us.

Hi,
My name is Richard and I would like to join the Design Collective.
I am currently working on an indie written RPG called Dead Stop Walking.

Thanks
Cool, welcome. Check out the forum (http://www.ukroleplayers.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=206) for most of our activity.
Hi , I too would like to join the collective. I am working on a miniature based rpg, and am also making and selling my own scenery with a friend. I am really interested in finding out about getting a print run going.
Welcome, sounds good. Check out the forums for more info on what we do for each other, especially the Membership thread.
Hi, I would like to join the Collective. I’ve been RPGing for 30 odd years and don’t consider myself a grognard, I’m interested in most genres with fantasy the favourite. I draw maps and floorplans, I blog at http://acrossthevilayet.blogspot.co.uk/ and would be happy to work with people on their projects wherever I can.
Hi, just come on over to the forums and start posting – http://www.ukroleplayers.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=206 – the Membership Thread is a good place to start.
Hi, my name is Craig Cartmell and I met a couple of your chaps at Dragonmeet last Saturday.
I am an established wargames rules author, who also dabbles in designing roleplaying games which I give away on my blog, https://deadsimplerpg.wordpress.com/
I am interested in talking to and exchanging ideas with other RPG authors.
Cheers,
Craig
