You helped me realize that it was one step too many. Not sure if you can put this in the original comment, since they require moderation, but:

That text was leftover from an earlier iteration of the site, and was very confusing. I've changed the introduction to read: "This wiki is a shared design space and homebrew archive for roleplaying games, board games, card games, and collectible card and miniature games. I've started us off with a few projects, but feel free to bring your own! Whether you're a board and card game designer looking for iterations on your latest project or a dedicated DM looking to flesh out part of your campaign world more quickly than you could do it alone, this is the place. Just join up, make a new section for your project (FAQ will be up soon, including a step-by-step process for starting your own project), and start attracting people to it!" As for the registration issue, the multiple steps are intentional (I wish I could do it without having you register for a wikidot account, but it's not possible). I'm not trying to cast a wide net and build as large a community as possible, I'm trying to attract folks who are excited by the idea of a community design space, whether they're designers or people who love to contribute to designs. This link... http://thegamerdome.com/announcing-the-gamer-dome-wiki-community-game-design-project/ ...goes straight to the post where I give the wiki password, and signing up for the feed is just something I hope people will do. Thanks for the constructive feedback! --Propagandroid Yehuda,
