Board 8 > November Game of the Month Club ft. TOEM, Strange Horticulture, and Ace Attorney

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel as though the GOTM and the Replay topics are plenty, personally. Throwing another thing into the mix is a bit much. Twas just chance it wasn't chosen, ya gotta take what the dice deals ya.

Yeah, between the 2 there's already 6-8 games getting chosen each month. That's kind of already too many. In many/most months it's not even really possible to complete all those games, should one be inclined.

What you could think about doing is maybe encouraging "seasonal" games with automatic extra supports. For example, if someone had nominated Cthulhu Saves Christmas for December, it gets an automatic extra support for each person who backs it. In other words, original nominator gives it 2 chances for selection, if another person supports then it gets +2 for 4 total.

That would stack the deck in a "seasonal" game's favor but wouldn't guarantee selection. Just an idea for how to make it work within the existing framework.

The other alternative might be to discontinue GotM Replay in favor of the new thing since it feels like the well is running dry on stuff people actually want to nominate anyway.

I think I'll put it on hiatus for a while, yeah. We could work up a backlog of incomplete stuff. Part of the issue for me is I've been too busy to game lately.
