A very trusted source is telling me that I should absolutely give 'Just Two Wishes' a try. I will. So can you: ifdb.org/viewgame?id=...

The wonderful and incredibly talented (mainly wonderful though) @iamleyeti.bsky.social will be discussing game narratives and presenting his *Prototyping Video Game Narratives with Short Stories* @d6learning.bsky.social course on the 12th of November. Be there: www.eventbrite.com/e/prototypin...

I have always been in awe of Raph Koster, and if he says that game design is, actually, simple, I have to listen. ➡️ Here's the lengthy article: www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/g...

Another smaller, but no less lovely, #RPG also arrived while I was away. Another Kickstarter, this time it's #DreamCityKnights, which the wonderful @konstantinosd.bsky.social helped bring to life (among others!) Nice smaller size rule book, which I like, and It's just a thing of beauty! #tabletop

Got to speak Greek for this one... ;)

Solid advice. youtu.be/8tHJgtbj6rs?...

Spent a chunk of time banging out this tool. I'm quite happy with the result. This lets me visualize the enemy waves much more clearly and edit them more easily. I do believe that good tools lead to better content, plus: It's a way to feel productive and still avoid actually building said content...

'Behind Escape from Duckov's unlikely rise to the top of the Steam charts' by Nicole Carpenter www.gamedeveloper.com/business/beh...

Frankly, both I and my daughter have been looking for excuses to get into Animal Crossing on the Switch...

Have you watched Pierrot Le Fou today?

Finally found where all those excellent Space Quest fan games (including Space Quest: The Lost Chapter) were hiding. Here: wiw.org/~jess/fangam...

As a part of my ongoing series "I Am A Hopeless Fantasy Maps Dork", I did a vid on what a GM is going to be able to get out of the Dolmenwood maps book. I own a whole bunch of fantasy atlases, and I have never seen one quite like this. (I know that's the monster book, it was the better thumbnail!)

SOVL: Fantasy Warfare looks so very WHFB. 🎲 store.steampowered.com/app/1870300/...

What an unexpectedly brilliant detective game. Was shocked at how well the AR/VR element worked too.

The Sinxlair ZX80 story (or how popular computing entered Europe) - watch the shot documentary here: youtu.be/_9v5jecL1S0?...

Having played Eldritch Horror (and its expansion) for hundreds of hours, I can't help but be excited for the upcoming digital adaptation. Here's the Steam link ⬇️ store.steampowered.com/app/4089610/...
