Does a solo roleplaying game need an explicit game loop? I'm working on the space game, and wondering if I should put in the effort, while the shorter game loops are pretty logical: - Set the scene - Decide how your character behaves. - Determine the outcome of their actions and back to step 1.

And now Youtube is translating Dutch titles and descriptions into English... Youtube, multilingual people exist. Even better: more than half of the world speaks more than one language. Don't translate shit until asked to do so.

Also if anyone has any recommendations for this kind of writing from non-western perspectives, that's a big gap in my knowledge. I've read a lot of 'vampires = sex; zombies = fear of democracy' takes & not much on how other cultures relate to monsters domestic & imported, either now or historically

I thought the uptick in my itch sales was due to community copies running out. That did bum my out a bit, even so I readded them. Sales are still up though, so guess people just like my games… That’s quite a nice feeling actually.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

ok, played around & ended up here: Use this image as a template. Image size is 94x27.5mm (scale this however you want in pixels) Pink & Blue bars are cut off when bluesky crops. Desktop crop- Pink. Mobile crop -blue (pixel 7 anyways). Generally, don't put anything in the colored zones.

Time for me to unveil my newest project, Doll.Ball. The game's a sports-based wargame in the vein of bloodbowl, but in a cyberpunk setting with 'wared up dolls scrambling to toss a ball through some gnarly terrain. It's an early access ashcan for now, a lil' something to whet your appetite!

For people who don't mind non-English lyrics, Aktiv Dödshjelp is a great band that scratches the itch for hardcore with that catchiness only Scandinavians seem to be able to master. For fans of The Ghost of a Thousand and Kvelertak.

5. A recent acquisition, this time:
@jimmyshelter.bsky.social
’s A VISIT TO SAN SIBILIA, a very pretty, gently haunting solo journaling game about finding yourself in an uncanny city that only sometimes exists in our world. I can’t wait to visit San Sibilia, in fiction… or otherwise…

, that came with my copy of San Sibilia: IN THE MARGINS, a *really* cool meta game about reading a ttrpg journal as a new character — a critic, scholar, descendent, etc. aa and making notes in the margins as you go.
