170+ TTRPGs in itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality (Lancer, Troika, BitD; also my stuff and #RPGSEA games)

[Tun Kai Poh]

Indie video game and TTRPG creators on itch.io have put together a charity bundle of over 700 items for USD5 or more, which is a pretty astounding bundle if you think about it. Proceeds go to NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund and itch has waived its usual cut. As I type, this tiny five-buck bundle has already raised over USD1.25 million.

I'll repeat my comment from the D&D thread -- this is a charity bundle. If you feel the need to complain about how hearing about other peoples' suffering somehow infringes on you, go do that elsewhere. If you get to be the lucky one who gets a charity thread closed (and we all know somebody will be that person), it will be your last post on this site.

It is worth noting that there is a backlog of several hundred additional games yet to be added to the bundle, beyond the 700 there now.

Really hoping itch comes up with a better UI for managing the games in the bundle, since there is no way to search or sort through what you want to download. 740 is already a lot to browse through.

Oh, speak of the kindly indie game distributing devils, itch.io has upped the count to 1000+ games (some latecomer creators joining the bundle) and added a search function for finding games to download from the bundle! At last.
