For a while now, Grandy and I have been talking about putting up a wiki with comprehensive-as-possible coverage of indie/shareware/freeware computer role playing games. It would be a resource linking to downloads, guides, reviews, and the like, with screenshots and a brief description of each game. We’ll solicit independent reviews of games, opinions on strategy, etc.
The idea isn’t to cover the mainstream published games, but the labors of love: the Spiderweb Software games (like the Avernum and Geneforge series), Tom Proudfoot’s games (Nahlakh, Natuk, etc.), Helherron, Eschalon, Mount & Blade, and many more. We’ll cover games in development as well, like Age of Decadence.
Watch for it here. We’ll be keeping more control over the wiki than is standard, because we’re control freaks. But if you’d like to make sure we covered your favorite game (or one you developed yourself) drop us a line at ken at popehat dot com and we’ll include it and maybe let you write the page.
Edit: Discuss the project in our forums here.
