The ARG Network

The Alternate Reality Gaming Network is a network of independent websites dedicated to the support of the burgeoning genre known as Alternate Reality Gaming (ARG). Each site is owned and operated by volunteers for the enjoyment of themselves and the ARG community.

The goal of ARGN is to help build and support the communities surrounding Alternate Reality Games. Each site brings unique perspective, content and/or commentary.

Here are the sites that are currently part of the Alternate Reality Gaming Network:

	Unfiction.com is a comprehensive resource for those interested in Alternate Reality Gaming, both from the players' perspective and from that of the puppetmasters. It is also intended as a gateway to be used in introducing neophytes to this unique genre of gaming. Unfiction.com offers information about past, current, and upcoming campaigns; tools and resources to use in playing or creating campaigns; articles, editorials, and interviews about the genre; and a forum section for discussion of the site, genre, and game play.
	Cloudmakers was founded as a discussion group for the interactive web game centered around the film A.I., which was officially solved on July 24, 2001. Though the original game, The Beast, has ended, Cloudmakers now serves as a clearinghouse for online gaming. Members can find out about new games, find fellow players, and reminisce about and discuss The Beast.
	The latest news on Alternate Reality Gaming and unique features for both players and Game Designers. Also, look for reports on cross-genre projects spanning traditional media and the gaming community.
	Martha's first appeared as a fan-based site during the Push NV game, but has since become an insta-portal to various ARGs and support sites. Looking for a place to begin your journey? All journeys begin at Martha's Boarding House.
	A.R.G. Planet, the only Italian reference point to the Alternate Reality Gaming world.
	Smirkbox is a great ARG humor site dedicated to looking at this whole Alternate Reality Gaming thing from a, well, different perspective. Plus, it usually reminds us not take ourselves too seriously.
	Varin.org keeps us up to date on ARGs and computer games in general, with news, reviews and commentary.
	Metaurchins is the home of the Metaurchins Book Project, an online narrative chronicling the Project MU (Metacortechs) game. If you're new to Alternate Reality Gaming, make sure to stop by to get a hint of what you're in for.
