You can find political groups based around misunderstandings of economics, pure jingoism, or religious beliefs. But there really aren't any dedicated to college students, and what they want for either education or prospects upon graduation. This is because the label of college student and youth is quite transitory. Mind you, back in the 1960s there was an attempt to make a youth based political party, but it didn't pan out.
To some extent, being a free game designer is also a limited tenure. Games get finished eventually (unless you're me) and life begins to include more non-game elements. John H. Kim is a physicist, programmer, and teacher, and the free game list is updated less than once a month. Six years ago it was updated almost weekly - I'd check each morning before going to classes.
1km1kt.net has been around for a long time, the earliest game hosted is from 2004. However, there isn't really an easy way to skip between pages of the archive, so its hard to see that way back on (what is currently) is a few essays about promoting your game. Finding anything amongst the few
hundred games hosted? But of course Mr. Keeton has other things to do, Our Glorious Benefactor posts here once every now and then in an event heralded by planetary alignments.
Now, I might suggest we try to recommend some policies for game sites.
Number one would be we ask for cross-promotion. Perhaps there needs to be a special page for links, and an area that included other free games you recommend and why - just like web-comics always recommend others. It would be wonderful if we could set up a formal network like the , , or .
Another policy might be to include some way to recognize those who give feedback. A small reward like those who write back get written up as an NPC, or can submit a village to the setting. Not too long ago, I added a small link to a on my blog.
We could try to declare August "Play a Free RPG Month". Wind down your summer with friends and a free game. Recommend them for starting a club at school - no books to store or high prices to prevent it from getting started. I chose August since people are likely returning from vacation but haven't started school just yet.
As a final idea, how about a review contest? A two or three month period to have people read or play free games, and write up an analysis. They can be graded on style, entertainment value, usefulness to a consumer, helpful comments to the game's author, and depth of annotation.
