Game Design Template
This template is great! As a first-time developer, there were some things I didn't think to consider that are on this template--it's very robust, but everything is laid out in a simple and easy-to-understand manner! 10/10.

Great template to start a GDD
That's an awesome template. Every keypoint is here and having all the bullet points gives a lot of ideas. Regarding the other comments: I find no issue for getting the template in the free plan as long as your workspace is not shared. Shared workspaces do have a block count limitation (read the manual, folks :) ), wherehas non shared workspaces still have unlimited blocks even in the Notion free plan.
