itch.io

This is more about letting people tack them onto a page attached to the existing media they're related to, similar to the steam workshop, I think. Not just about publishing them in general.

Tumblr user suggests:

"Itch.io should have a steam workshop for games and Crucially it should not be restricted to popular games or computer games. I want to submit a 2 paragraph text document as a "mod" for somebody's 10-page indie rpg

"ok but crucially I want it to show up as a tab on the original itch page like the steam workshop does. bc i feel like distributing it as my own thing is 1. wildly passive-aggressive and 2. doesn't get eyes on it. whereas being like 'a mod to fix the dice mechanics in this game' is 1. only very passive-aggressive and 2. gets much more eyes on it"

Obviously since I'm sharing this here I second the idea. I imagine people publishing on itch could be presented with an option to enable a workshop which triggers an additional terms of service clause allowing workshop works to be safe from any prosecution.

I learned about this today and am Very Excited to give it a shot.

Neat ideas in here. Love the unique ways that everything has to avoid death. Feels like it turns managing your survival into an active thing rather than just boiling it down to statistics.
