I think I might be partly to blame for that, starting the tradition back in 2020 with this lot. Then in later years [user=carrot87] and [user=Palpatine66] joined in as well.
A nice benefit of lots like this is that there's zero shipping involved, so they're accessible for anyone, anywhere. Plus they're relatively low-effort to do, just keep an eye on Humble throughout the year (which I'm already doing anyway) and nab anything that might be of interest to boardgamers. No shipping hassles either.
A returning question I've seen is 'what if a game is delisted?' Well, delisted just means it can no longer be bought from the store front, but any Steam keys for it still work, and anyone who already has a delisted game in their library gets to keep it, and gets to keep downloading it. I've got a couple games like that, like Poker Night at the Inventory, Pandemic: The Board Game (the old version), and the Strong Bad graphic adventure games. I can still download and play them even though they're not being sold anymore.

I'm just happy I managed to get all my stuff on page 2 this year, uninterrupted by other lots.Draw_Two_Logan wrote:
Coincidentally I've not gotten to participate in one of JVMF before and I also just got a PC after not having a Steam workable one in 14 years 😂 so Ill go for steam stuff for sure. Weird having "FTL" being the "newest" game I own 😂
Thanks for including steam stuff too!

Thread: RPG Design:: We Would Love Some Feedback On Our Small Indie Game

The system is a mix of Dragonbane, Vampire: The Masquerade, Index Card RPG, The Cypher System, and Freeform Universal, with our own twist to make it unique rather than just a mash up of those influences. It uses a d20 for attributes and pooled d10 skill rolls, modified by tags, all within a roll under framework. Only the player rolls in this system. It also includes chase mechanics and several other unique features that you may find interesting.
The system is fairly modular, so feel free to pull out any mechanics you don’t want and add in whatever flavor you prefer. It’s in a very playable state, though it still needs some fine tuning-which is why we'd love input from experienced gamers like yourselves.
The Quick Start is free, and I’ll provide the link below. There’s also a paid version that includes all the rules along with a rich lore section that boast 390 pages or so. The Quick Start does include all the rules and tags needed to play, so the full core rulebook isn’t required unless you want the full rich setting. It’s only $6.99 on itch and DriveThruRPG, and I’ll include those links as well if you’re interested.
The game features all original artwork created by my wife and another artist who kindly allowed us to use their work. We also included a few pieces of stock art since our budget was small-it’s just my partner and I designing the game and creating the art and we work fulltime jobs so we've been chippin away at this game for a few years now. We wanted to show that we’re committed to avoiding AI art. Even if the art isn’t top tier, we’re proud of what we’ve made and hope you enjoy it too.
Our humble little game has gone Copper on DriveThruRPG, and we haven’t received a bad review yet, so we’ll take that as a good sign, lol.
Anyway, enjoy, and have a great evening, everyone. I forgot to mention, we also have two expansions for the game. One is free of charge and it’s to show our appreciation to all the backers and the other is a locations guide which only cost $2.99. We’re trying to keep the game affordable because we want everyone to be able to enjoy it without breaking the bank.

Good evening, fellow gamers. I just wanted to share a link to our new system called The Prosper System. The rules-or Quick Start-is completely free, and we’re genuinely looking for honest feedback from GMs and players alike.The system is a mix of Dragonbane, Vampire: The Masquerade, Index Card RPG, The Cypher System, and Freeform Universal, with our own twist to make it unique rather than just a mash up of those influences.
