Hi all. My mate's dad has gone missing in Shrewsbury. His name is Mike, and as you can imagine we're all trying everything we can to find him. If you see him, please contact Shropshire Police.

It was nice to catch up with some friends and actually play some board games this weekend. I got through quite a few – Castles of Burgundy, String Railway, Odin, Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor, Wingspan, and So Clover.

That’s it. Cops dispersing. Fascists fucking off. We won. Brighton is anti-fascist

Your email finds me three weeks out of Portsmouth. The Sighthound is light at only eighteen guns, but quick in the water, even laden as she is. The Atlantic lapping against her hull she is making steady progress westward to the Caribbean, the men restless to do their duty for King and country.

really fucking hate how "accessibility" has been hijacked to mean "let's treat everyone as if they're children at all times"

i love how some jokes just flow better in other languages, this is ace lmao

yesterday we announced our debut game Bad Magpie and we are so grateful for all the support! - hit 26k+ wishlists in 24hrs!! - made lots of people laugh and cry (sorry) - joined the "horrible bird game" genre HUGE THANK YOU from our little team in case you missed it, here's our reveal trailer:

Apropos of nothing: this is neat. youtu.be/vaG5tVnpkwc

Good news! Ministers have finally given green light to new #NaturalHistory GCSE. We’ve campaigned so long for this! Big hats off to tireless advocate Mary Colwell 🙌 Now our young people will have a chance to get to know & love the natural world, to feel awe & wonder, & gain skills to protect it 🌷🌳🦡

This building is stunning. It's the Great Mill in Gdańsk, an actual 14th-century watermill which remained in use till the 1940s. Today it's the Amber Museum. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_M... muzeumgdansk.pl/en/oddzialy-...

A real Library of Alexandria moment for a lot of RPG developers out there

Speaking of Stuart Semple, I atteneded this for 'work' back in the day - the single most Nathan Barley, 00s event I have ever been to, and it's a crowded field web.archive.org/web/20080227...

“It’s like Google Drive but for soup!” “It’s like “It’s like MS paint but for gyroscopes!” “It’s like Ceefax but for knees!” “It’s like Netflix but for plankton!” “It’s like Tiktok but for Joseph of Arimathea!” Fuck are you talking about

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

This is probably the most traditional possible behavior for the family of a pope.

Out of interest (& this is a genuine, non-loaded question) what visible impact have any of the higher ed courses teaching variations of game design had on tabletop game design? Can we point to actual things that have emerged from these courses? Ideas, coherent schools of thought, movements? In the…

"There is a curse upon this land of Lancashire, Daughter of Eve. It is forever a particularly miserable Tuesday in early March, and never Summer."

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work and passion they had put into their music and I think that comes through in the photos.

Me on a Teams call: "Sorry, could you say that again? There was a steamroller going past my office window." Them: "?" Me:

Okay, so this is massive and we're terrified. Partnering with @play.breakthrought1d.org in the fight against diabetes, the ENTIRE inkle catalogue is on Humble Bundle right now for $20 -- including TR-49, all four novels, both Overboard! games, 80 Days, all four parts of Sorcery! ... everything.

We need more “amateur” games with “crude reproduction” and “small circulation”, not less. Make stuff not because it is perfect and slickly made. Make stuff because it’s fun, and engaging, and because you can. MAKE WEIRD GAMES: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/one-page-rpg

Idea: Replace every opposed roll in your TTRPG with a game of Downfall.

I wish BlueSky had a feature that would let us mute a user's reposts/posts/replies separately, with options for temporarily vs permanently. There's some folks I really want to follow and potentially hear from, but who post prolifically enough that they often swamp my feed. 😕

Believe trans youth.

The Mermaid Mask - our new mystery detective adventure game (and the follow-up to 2019's Tangle Tower) launches July 16 for PC, PS5, Switch and Switch 2

I'm cautiously optimistic about RPG Trader. If you don't know, it's a new platform for buying and selling rpgs just like DriveThruRPG, Itch, and Lulu. What's making me optimistic? It's rpg-focused. It does away with the 5-star rating system. It has coherent product categories. rpg-trader.com

Buy their stuff. It's excellent stuff and they're very nice people.😊

I'm doing a thing next month! I'm being vague on the details at the moment while I decide on precisely what to include, but if you feel like following the project anyway, that'd be great! (As I'll probably forget to post about it until right before launch...) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

Finished Terminus by @irny.bsky.social - a great mystery, only partially solved by my investigators in two sessions (no spoilers). For me, after I visited Tottenham Court Road with new eyes, it became a love letter to the station as much as anything else.

A query for the tabletop community: Does there already exist a list/classification system for content warnings that creators and GMs can reference? My 'day job' involves designing information systems, so I was thinking of making a CW resource for folks, but I don't want to replicate existing work.

Bonjourrrr

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

The new @rpg-trader.bsky.social site opens up soon! If you’ve played any of my games and like them (or like me😊) it would be super-helpful if you recommend my games by pressing the ‘recommend this game’ thumbs up button. It will help other people find them 😊 rpg-trader.com/creator/108/...

"83% of LLM users could not quote a single line from essays they had written minutes earlier. When the LLM group was forced to write without AI in a follow-up session, their brain activity did not bounce back to baseline; the researchers coined the term 'cognitive debt' for the lingering deficit."

An interesting question for y'all. If you've read or played Locus, what would you like to see changed/added/expanded upon in those books?

finally got to see @acgodliman.bsky.social's tiny tiny videogame console. they have bigger things planned! that are still just as small!

Attorney client privilege does not attach to a robot lawyer. You just confessed to a crime that anyone who wants to buy your data from NYAYAM can purchase. Good job!

Procrastinating by making a list of my personal favourite book for every year 1926-2026 and it seems like I have not enjoyed a single book from 1959. Please recommend me books from 1959 I guess? nb Shirley Jackson is too creepy for me, sorry, the fault is mine, I hate to experience fear

So Starbucks in South Korea ran a set of ads for a 'tank' coffee thermos and used words that seemed to disrespect the protests which has led to a boycott, CEOs stepping down, public apologies, and now, arrests. Buried in the article below is the reason: AI www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
