Fans: Do you want to spread the joy of Cheapass Games? Awesome! Honestly, your enthusiasm and talent are worth more to us than money. If you would like to be an official Cheapass Games Demo Monkey, you can deputize yourself right now. Gaze into the watchful eyes of Prince, the cardboard monkey. Promise not to embarrass us.There, it is done.
Now that you're official, we encourage you to teach others about our games. Show off your Cheapass chops at parties, conventions, abandoned subway tunnels, and wherever games are played. Bloggling about us on the Interwebs is also great, but nothing beats a real hands-on demo.
If you’d like to go "above and beyond the extra mile," may we suggest printing some of your very own Demo Monkey business cards! This is the easiest way to remind people where they should be getting their free games, and express your personal style at the same time. There are lots of places that make “free” business cards (basically, free but for the price of shipping; we like Vistaprint), and you can put whatever you like on your business card, within the following extremely strict rules:
Required: These cards won't do you much good if they don't have at least the following:
Cheapass Games
We make the rules
Demo Monkey
[Your Name]
www.cheapass.com
Optional: You don't have to tell anyone how to find you, but you also don't have to not. That part is up to you.
Your phone
Your email
Your address / handle / IM / radio frequency / gamertag
Forbidden: This is stuff we absolutely don't need on your business card.
www.cheapassgames.com. (It's an easy mistake, but we don’t own it.)

Any implication (besides "demo monkey") that you actually work for us.
Extra: In addition to the basics above, you might want to add a slogan. You can use one of these, or something that sounds even better. It's hard to write a slogan without the artwork, so these may sound pretty bland. Think of them as a starting point. If you're not sure, run your slogan past us first.
