We've published Godot Engine's first written vision statement, formalizing a decade of shared experience building, releasing, and maintaining it. This is intended to guide the Godot Foundation as we make decisions about where to allocate our resources. Read more: godotengine.org/article/godo...

Come and meet me and pick up some of my merch tomorrow at the ACGN in Richmond, B.C.! (Kulumi who did the banner is my art teacher and invited me to join her booth.)

I’ll be assisting @chibiwindstudios.bsky.social at her merch booth tomorrow. Come say hi if you are in Richmond BC for the ACGN anime Expo! 😅

Eternal Decks is a hit with the youngest and the wife! Both said they wanted to play it again but we have to clear the table now for Father’s Day stuff.

Giant Magnetic Twilight Struggle Lives! @gmtgames.bsky.social #Origins2026

#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity, helming a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision! godotengine.org/releases/4.7/

Just a note for folks who might be interested in Rebels Against Rebellion. I've started a design diary where I do some deep diving into the game's origin story. @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @kwanchai.bsky.social boardgamegeek.com/thread/37152...

I’m gonna be real with you for a second.. I want my game to be a success just so that I can be a stay at home dad. That’s it. That’s the reason. #gamedev

A rare non game or art related pic - our gigantic delphiniums are gorgeous this year. They are about 6 feet tall.

Want to read a big old stonking essay about how Biblical criticism informs board game reviews? No? Eh, get outta here then. For the cool kids, I've got the goods right here: spacebiff.com/2026/06/10/t...

This is an interesting piece: I have notes somewhere for something similar myself that I never wrote up (sample paragraph below). But one reason that I never finished it is bc I have always been niggled by how relevant this kind of thinking is: not a shot at Dan but a wider concern about semiotics

Today in AI is great and you should love it; Some bots are having a fabricated discussion on one of my open-source Starter Kits talking about files that simply do not exist, the game wasn't even written in Python. github.com/KenneyNL/Sta...

Every year or two I ask the socials if anyone knows of a platform for selling RPG PDFs that isn't based in the USA. And for years the answer has been no. In two days that changes. RPG Trader is launching, coming (cont.)

@chibiwindstudios.bsky.social and I made some Anti AI art propaganda!

Thursday Morning Trivia: who was the star from the movie "Gone With the Wind" shot down by the Luftwaffe over the Bay of Biscay on June 1st, 1943? (Public Domain photo of Douglas DC-3.)

Publication day. Thank you to @enwright.bsky.social, Iain, and Nick for making this so. I think this is a meaningful contribution to the field of historical games. My chapter is on historical rhetoric and board games, with a case study on Crisis: 1914. lnkd.in/evi5Z7Nw

Media Representations of the Trojan War: Iliad, Troy, Troy: A Total War Saga High school senior at Cincinnati Country Day School, Ali Zimmerman, took on an independent study with me in this spring semester, her final before graduating. The topic: how does the medium of a work about the past, in…

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Thanks to my pal Brian for making sure I saw this absolutely ridiculous "status" update from @steamforgedgames.bsky.social That's not how game boards are printed. Not at all. It's freaking wild to post AI slop as a progress update. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

It got locked, but your reply was one of the ones that did not get removed

For school, my 10yo made an izakaya menu. She drew the whole thing from scratch in Procreate - No AI help! (All spelling mistakes are her own.) I wish it was a real izakaya. 😔

Fallout: Power Play is the worst "board game" I have "played" in living memory. Nonfunctional in every regard, filled with nonsense rules, this nongame shouldn't even be played ironically. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/05/15/f...

WWN forthcoming events The Women's Wargaming Network has a number of events planned in the coming weeks. Check out the full listing at the WWN website.

Slightly increase a band. The Doors & Windows

Good article which explain all... FWIW, I didn't know about this, never consented, find the bio laughable, and the reliance on AI absolutely in accord with ALL of Ken Whitman's business enterprises in the past. www.enworld.org/threads/ken-...

Adding Rebels Against Rebellion to the 2026 lineup. @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @kwanchai.bsky.social

Take a look at this magnificent cover from @kwanchai.bsky.social and Jina Rueter for my upcoming co-design with @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social: Rebels Against Rebellion, published by Flying Pig Games. This is my first venture into the American Civil War for a game design.

We're blown away by this user-created mod for the PC version of Hades II, which lets you play through the original game's encounters as Melinoë!!🤯 Trailer and details here if you want to check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxuT...

If steam has mature content filters it should have Gen-AI content filters. I shouldn't need to scrutinise every new game I look at to see if it's an affront to art or not.

For my #Battletech and #Mechwarrior friends...

Show off a miniature you painted ages ago and then never played with…

Wife did not grow up playing videogames like me but she loves point and click adventures so I thought I would introduce her to Sam & Max from our GoG account... Boy oh boy did she hate the actual "hit the road" part. (It does not help that she has a giant monitor.) Her review, "Ugly and unplayable."

Check out this discussion of historical boardgame design -- deep indeed. Thank you for this @danbullock.bsky.social & @colewehrle.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/episode/4R1d...

Only an idiot like me would release two free games on the same day... See you all tomorrow! 🃏🛩️

Poop! Spies! What do these topics have in common? They're both the topics behind board games by Jon Moffat! For today's Space-Cast, we're joined by Jon to discuss Night Soil and Burned. spacebiff.com/2026/04/15/s...

Just released a massive update for Arete that takes the number of scenarios from 8 to lucky 13! New scenarios are: •Haemus •Lyginus •Pelium •Arigaeum •Twins (a balanced Alex v Alex scenario for 2-players) Not a DLC. Not an in-app purchase. If you own Arete on any platform just update and enjoy!

It has bullets and you shoot them, so that means it’s a wargame, right? (Bullet ❤️ and ⭐️ by Level 99 Games - a family favourite.)

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

What is this thing we found embedded in our lawn and how long has it been here? (Wrong answers only.)

Cole's latest essay On Expansions is less about Arcs and more about the history of games, modern tabletop designers, Marxist theory, and the nature of collaboration. Read here: buriedgiant.com/blog/Arcs-be...

Happy TDOV! My career ran the gamut from device sales to professor to pharma R&D leader… then I hit 60 and was no longer able to deny or suppress my authentic self. Today, I’m a writer and game designer, and I’ve found love, joy, and profound peace. It’s never too late. Find your heart and yourself.
