The Gamer Dome’s new wiki is for tabletop game designers to post ideas and receive community feedback. The exact idea is a bit hard to follow, but the essence seems to be a place to create variants: scenarios, new cards, expansions, and so on.

Gaining access to the wiki is a bit of a pain: you need to register with Wikidot, and you also need to subscribe to the Gamer Dome blog feed, find the announcement post, and find a separate password at the end of it. But what confuses me most is the terms from the announcement: “Most of the projects will be community-driven, and I’ll have final say over inclusion and rules disputes; however, regular contributors have the opportunity to become admins themselves, and private development space may become available!”

That doesn’t sound like a community driven wiki to me. Perhaps I misunderstand the intention of this thing.
