Aside from a few notable exceptions, independent games are mostly covered on dedicated sites. I’m not entirely sure why this is: is the group of gamers who want a classic RPG entirely separate from the audience that spends its time tracking the state of the mainstream industry? Are most indie (non-casual) games not up to production level par? Is there no crossover between people who want to see the latest graphics porn and people looking for a SCUMM-style adventure game about a mystery-solving, faith-questioning Rabbi?

I’m not going to tackle that issue in this post. I am going to mention Evil Avatar’s new monthly indie feature, a small step towards bridging the gap. Judging from the comments thread, it’s already gone and got people good and riled up!
