New Theme: The Great Backlog Harvest

Daerphen — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:36:41 +0000

August and September are the primary months for harvesting crops. In the gaming world, this translates to reaping the rewards of your efforts. This theme encourages playing games where you gather, craft, or build something substantial. On a meta-level, every completed game is a "crop" harvested from the "field" of your backlog.
