talking about bundle games

I think part of how we Packbats will approach the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality (which is running for another two days and change from the time of this post) will be inspired by Errant Signal's "Talkin' 'Bout tiny Games". Specifically, the idea that small games do not need critics - those who can disassemble their themes and techniques, evaluate their successes and failures - so much as they need champions - those who can make public that which might otherwise be overlooked.

There are 1,659 items in the bundle. That's a lot to be overlooked.

We'll probably try to occasionally talk about what we've encountered and been delighted by in the bundle here. (For example, i'm sorry did you say street magic.) But we don't need to talk about what didn't click for us. That's not necessary.

...heh.

We tend to post in the evenings, as we've noted. And, as we haven't, we have a Friday-evening D&D game.

In the calendar view of the past three weeks, since we started trying to blog daily on May 27th, we've missed every single Friday.
