Uh, what is this exactly?

Its me, kfwyre, trying out yet another post type on Tildes and seeing how it goes.

In the past I've done a "Backlog Burner" event that was a full month. It was a lot to commit to, and it ended up feeling like it lost steam -- too long for its own good.

I still like the root of that idea though -- people playing games with a specific purpose or focus. Something like a "Book Club" for games, but with a common theme instead of a common title, so people are free to choose what they personally like.

Thus, a "Pop-Up": a quick, short event that identifies a common focus that people can participate in together and doesn't require too much commitment. Basically, something unexpectedly fun to do for a week or a weekend.

If this kind of thing takes, I'd love to see it happen in other communities: ~movies, ~anime, ~music, etc. I'd also love it if other people did their own "pop-ups" on a whim, rather than it being seen as something that's "mine" to post.

That's jumping the gun a bit though -- this one is a sort of test to see if this sort of thing even has any legs in the first place.

Oh, and "Ludonostalgia" is a made up pretentious word -- because every good Pop-Up needs an iconic name.
