I know!! what a close game! and no worries!! I appreciate the help

thank you haha my post was more to note how funny it is that most of the streams are of the video game and not the actual event

you can send 2-4 pitches, and there’s no specific deadline for pitches. I’m checking the pitches on a rolling basis, so it’s first come first serve. at some point in December, we will close things up for the holidays, so just keep that in mind!

just a note that Inverse Gaming is accepting freelance again in general, so I’m also opening this up to general gaming essays or reported features pitches as well. in general, we like stories about the craft behind video games, the amusing historical game lore you wouldn’t expect, etc.

quick update on this: the outpour of emails has been incredible! we have assigned out the Best RPGs list already, but I'm still open to hearing end-of-year pitches for trends you noticed gaming and/or reported features!

ooh that would be an interesting one!
