The RPGs of “Because We May”

This just in: a bunch of indie RPGs are being sold at really steep discounts from today until June 1st! Honestly, I generally avoid posting about sales on this site–I consider it my goal to inform people about indie RPGs, not to promote the practice of buying them at a discount.

However, there is a sort of big, collective, opt-in mega-sale going on right now called Because We May, with a lot of indie RPGs participating. A single indie RPG going on sale may not be news, but a whole bunch of them doing it at once in a unique, one-time event? That seems a little news-y to me.

Here are the RPG participants, for your edification:
