I've seen a few "Need such and such for a game I'm making" kinds of threads. Since the people you need won't always be on when you need them, I decided it was high time for some kind of resource.

Below you'll find lists of the people you're looking for. Please PM me using the proper form (found in the second post) to be added to the list.

A word to the wise, while I welcome the discussion of whatever you're working on, or whatever you've done in the past -- DO NOT discuss a project you're working on without the permission of whoever's idea it was. If I hear complaints about people releasing details about a game without permission, I will instantly blacklist them and remove that person from the lists.
