If anyone is interested in six rather fine indie RPGs for only US$10, as well as donating to a good cause, then I heartily recommend the Sight For Sore Eyes bundle of games. This is really good value for some really good games. I highly recommend Ben Lehman's Polaris, especially if you are fan of games like Nobilis, and is worth US$10 all by itself. [This is politely referred to as a pointed "Hint" for certain regular readers of a game I think they will like a lot.] Greg Hutton and Elizabeth Shoemaker have produced some excellent games (although whilst I have both Remember Tomorrow and Murderland I'm afraid I have yet to get around to reading them, but their other games have been really really good). I'm not immediately familiar with the others [although I suppose I could open the archive and read them <grin>], but they are keeping good company. And it's for a good cause. ETA: Perfect is a story game of crime set in a steampunk dystopia. Polaris is a really excellent story game of tragedy and chivalry in the uttermost north. Remember Tomorrow is a quick and dirty cyberpunk game. Geasa is a game of faery stories. Mars Colony is the story of how you tried o save the failing colony on Mars. Murderland is a set of rules for storygaming Cluedo. I should note that while I use the term role-playing game, many of these are actually story games. In both you role-play a character, but in story games you are explicitly trying to tell the story of your character with the assistance and opposition (depending on the game) of the other players.
