Straw Dogs is a thoughtful and thought-provoking microgame poem.
Check out this one and all the showcase games at gamepoems.org/showcase
Spend some time browsing through the games this weekend. Many take less than 5 minutes to play through.
Meanwhile, issue #1 of Game Poems Magazine will be coming out later this fall. Add your email at gamepoems.substack.com/subscribe to be notified.
This is an open community event designed to highlight and celebrate the amazing breadth of work submitted to the first issue of Game Poems magazine. Includes many outstanding games that simply didn't fit into the first issue due to tight curatorial constraints--not for lack of artistic merrit.

Hark, some news 📢
Pantaloon is broadening its mission of platforming bold & bizarre games by moving into the world of original publishing, as we seek to become a home for misfits.
Gonna thread some COOL BITS & PIECES
Shares hugely appreciated 🙏

The Downcrawl rulebook and Downcrawl Deck, with cover art showing weird wanderers overlooking a stalactite city suspended over lava.
The Downcrawl Deck cards, which have color-coded combinatorial prompts making it easy to generate two-part table results.
A page spread from the Downcrawl rulebook, showing the start of the chapter on Journeys.
After a long journey (appropriate), 🚨 Downcrawl 2E #TTRPG & the Downcrawl Decks are now live for sale in print & digital!! 🚨
* Build a weird, wondrous underworld, alone or together

On point. I mean kart. Who really needs a dryer anyway? Nintendo should go in with Samsung to offer washer/karting bundles instead.

Do you make weird, artsy, short-form videogames? Or know someone who does? Check out this new zine project I've been working on (intended to kind of bridge poetry/academia/art world/indie games) - and consider submitting a game for the first issue! www.gamepoems.org
