I thought you may have. I think it's most important to make sure that the KDE 
community as a whole is made aware of what it can do for _them_ rather that 
what it can do for _games_ I think that given that, we don't need to have a 
separate talk about KNewStuff in kdegames.
Just as long as people know us gamsers are using KNewStuff :)

Perhaps a workshop or BoF would work well for kdegames+knewstuff.

Yeah, I need to put some thought into how it will l work but kollision would 
be fun.
