Awesome Game design list

Awesome

A list of publicly available Game design documents that I have found interesting. (Ok... the list is slowly evolving. The main focus will still be game design materials, but will also include additional cool tools at the end)

I do not own any of these documents. If there are any copyrighted materials, they belong to the original authors.

Enjoy.
