Drew and I have been overwhelmed by the support for the reprint campaign. If you've been looking for a copy of John Company or Molly House, this is your best chance to get a copy and the way that most directly supports us and our further efforts.

Great afternoon thinking about society and games (and the gamification of history) at the social justice and gaming workshop at KCL! Also most importantly finally got to play Molly House, explained by the wonderful
@miasmacorp.bsky.social
, which I've been hoping to play since seeing it at TIPC4!

Finally got my copy of The Old King's Crown (
@theoldkingscrown.bsky.social
) to the table. I first played a demo of it at UKGE, I want to say 3 years ago? It was already impressive then, but I can see it's so much more now. Absolutely spellbinding. Congratulations to the whole team.

This game was made by a good friend of mine. I've played it a lot, and if you'd enjoy a comic book narrative and wide variety of puzzle and dexterity minigames in your escape-room-style game, I'd highly recommend it. (also you may recognise someone in the video)

Hey heads up, The Game Changers paperback is on the shelves in most good UK bookshops right now. If you would like some positive reading about how we are all deeply connected as humans, & how games build communities in the darkest times, you might find something of value in it.

If your courtship game has you competing with other players to have a higher stat to attract the attention of an automated partner, then your courtship game has the ideology of incels. Maybe it isn't as sexist, but it shares the same mindset as people who think dating is a metrics game you can win.

For research reasons I'm trying to get hold of scans/photocopies of Sid Sackson's columns in Strategy & Tactics, particularly the ones from #45 through #48 (looking for a specific item which would have landed in one of those issues), published in late 1974 and early 1975. Feel free to share this.

What a Gen Con! Molly House + John Company are sold out in the US right now, so this year was wild and wonderful. We saw lots of folks and old friends, ran a 50 person John Company journaling TTRPG megagame, and i even played a synthesizer for an Oath puppet show. 10/10

During Gen Con, I will have 250 of these zines with me. The goal is to inform normies about what’s going on with CGE and a call to action to join the blacklist. No buying, pitching, or covering CGE games until they give the community a proper apology and response on how they plan to make good. 🎲✂️

I don't see my stuff in the wild often - that's the cost of doing direct sales on demand - but when I do see one of the Rio or Capstone releases it's always a delight (even if the name on the box is usually wrong). And the first time was a special thrill. ♥️ Happy for you, Jo!

Still reeling from UKGE. To think this lockdown project I started in 2020 has taken on such a life of its own is absolutely wild. Hard to explain how it felt seeing so many people engage with Molly House and hear about how it had resonated with them.
