I posted this in the PM Help section, but thought I would put one in this thread, as well. I sincerely apologize if that's frowned upon, and if it is, please feel free to delete one of them.
We're a grassroots venture looking for people in the following areas:
If you think you have something to offer in these areas, please send me a PM with your name and e-mail. Thanks!

I've been here long enough that I figured I might as well actually post here once in a while.
Location: New Jersey about 20 minute drive from NYC.
My skills are as follows:
*I have a completely warped and unusual imagination
*I have a degree in graphic design. I prefer to do anything EXCEPT web design. I have the ability to do it just not the desire.
*I've got some pretty good writing skills
*I LOVE doing research
*I wanted to be a spy when I was younger so I've got extensive knowledge of codes/ciphers--I used to pass notes in elementary school written in cipher so the teacher couldn't read them out loud if she found them
*My daughter calls me a destroyer of dreams because I'm very good at finding potential problems/ plot holes
*Chronic insomnia so I'm at the computer close to 20 hours a day
You can email me at my gmail address agent.047 or pm me here

Update! It's summer, so I'm back in the PM (or trailhead) market. I've run/helped with a couple of ARGs in the past that were moderately successful and I've been around uF a while.
Location: Austin, TX
Skills: Graphic design, web design, and pretty much anything on the tech side of it. Photography. I'm also decent at doing in character stuff, as well as story. My availability over the summer is also a plus, as I'm a student.

major city pms needed
anyone else sometimes running an arg and thinking, most of my players are in place X but I'm in another country???
IDEA:
Each of us helps out the other pms by making a country list here, with cities/states/regions as need be - this way, when a PM wants a drop of a memory stick etc in place Y, they can contact PM in place Y, send them an electonic cash lump for buying a memory stick [or owe it and return later?] and pm can do the drop and set up - helpful for everyone and means games can be stretched out a litle - a thought, nothing more at moment, but I for one, would love access to PMs in other countries for the final part of my arg starting soon...
summary: about to kick start the third and potential final part of my arg - london based, to start with - but pm's from all over the world would be really appreciated - big mega game thought of - needing mega world people though - anyone??!!
List: I'm Paul, In London, UK. Sometimes travel to Cambridge, Wales, Bristol and Devon...
Please PM me if you can help sometime this year and are in major city - thanks...

Hi, it's my first time posting, but i've been lurking around for a while
I've been interested in ARGs for quite some time, but i have never actually joined any (at least, i have not been part of a community yet), i like following the games, and even try to solve puzzles on my own sometimes. So, as you can see i'm not very experienced, but i got the curiosity of making my own ARG, i even had some ideas (i was thinking of making one in spanish), but i thought it would be better if i got involved in other people's ARGs first and gain some more experience.
-I'm a Graphic Designer, so i can work Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks and even a little of Flash
-I'm good at drawing and i like photography. Examples of some of my works (that DA account is a little old though, the pictures there does not reflect my current skills, but it gives you a little hint about them)
-I can design the layout for websites in fireworks, but i'm not that good at scripting them (Very VERY basic HTML and CSS knowledge)
-I like writing stories, but I'm not that fluent in english I understand written english almost perfectly though ( I guess you can say my english level is "Advanced" but not yet "Fluent")
Other things to consider:
-I work, so i would not be available 24hrs a day.
- I'm not good with horror and very graphical gore (i'm a chicken... )
If interested, please contact me licawolves (at) hotmail (dot) com
