This covers a lot wider than what I’m familiar with but seems like a decent primer for anyone trying to dig up history on the outgrowth of indie RPGs post-Forge/Story Games https://aavoigt.com/f/the-golden-age-of-indie-rpgs.

Game Hype: Hard Wired Island Bundle
January 9, 2025
https://bundleofholding.com/presents/HardWired
$13 gets you HWI and supplements. It’s a 90s anime cyberpunk game that didn’t forget the punk part.
You live on the space station Grand Cross that’s hitting that point when the corporations go from bad to worse and you’re going to fight back. Think less “everything’s a gun fight and brainhack” that you’d get in R. Tal Cyberpunk and more “Those episode characters from Ghost in the Shell or Psycho Pass, trying to fight back in their own way”. While you certain CAN go hard with violence, more characters do better with long term alliance building and sabotage where needed. A cyberpunk mix of Love and Rockets and Le Carre novel but anime and queer as fuck. Slow builds, terrifying riots of action, and back again.
Drivethru Bundle for Meguey Baker vs Cancer
August 27, 2024Game bundle fundraising for Meguey Baker’s cancer treatments. Includes 13th Age, Apocalypse World, Night Witches, Alice is Missing: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/480847/meguey-baker-vs-cancer-bundle?affiliate_id=164999
About a decade ago I was diagnosed with cancer and left disabled for about 2 years. I know very well what it is like to be struck unable to work, and immense costs financially, but also, just energy-wise. I’m glad every year the treatments get better, but US healthcare being what it is (outrageously expensive), I know it’s the kind of thing that basically feels like your life is being ransomed.
If there’s any games on there you think you might want, please go help! And reboost it to other folks as well.
