Introducing.... Super Scram Kitty! youtu.be/X9LNfZ5ocOU

‘The Orrery of The Seven-Part Pact’ commissioned game board for @possumcreekgames.com and @jdragsky.bsky.social’s upcoming game ‘Seven-Part Pact’ kickstarter.com/projects/sjgames/seven-part-pact

Feel so very honoured to have spent the last 3 years as Lead Writer on this incredible game, and am especially proud of the amazing cast of characters we've created. Thanks so much for having me @maverick-games.com & @flawlessc0wboy.bsky.social!

Opening titles of "Dealies", the new animated series by the creators of "Common Side Effects" and "Scavenger's Reign". Coming to Netflix in 2027.

I’m super excited to see what my American game dev friends have been making, while American bombs did this to my neighbourhood

GOLD TEETH has launched! It's a piratical TTRPG set in a cursed version of the Age of Sail, with 350 pages of briny phantasmagoria, colonial terror and nauseating seafood. It's part Master & Commander, part Blackadder, left to ripen in the sun like a beached porpoise. teethrpg.itch.io/gold-teeth

We're going to close GOLD TEETH pre-orders this weekend. If you want to secure yourself a copy of our book of horribly-cursed pirates, you should do so now. www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

Enjoyed @sebemina.bsky.social's newsletter about artist and interior and fashion designer Luke Edward Hall and his love of fantasy, dungeon synth, Enya, and communing with folklore sebemina.substack.com/p/why-luke-e...

You could write a cool kind of media history where different IP characters appearing in Fortnite etc. is a continuation and industrialisation of a much older practice of modders putting different characters in commercial games over 20 years ago.

We are playing through this now, helmed by wise old wizard @rossignol.bsky.social! It draws together a fantastically consequential and rich tapestry of people, cultures and relationships. Can't get enough of it.

I've been reading through a near-complete version our next #TTRPG book, GOLD TEETH, and while I am not exactly a neutral commentator I can say that @marshdavies.bsky.social is now operating on another level. Do not miss. You can still secure a late pledge copy: www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

Tiny wood engraving print by Bewick from late 1700s-early 1800s. He engraved his own finger print at life size into this scene, the whole thing is about 4x2cm.

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

Ridiculous game

Social media was an attempt to make sure everyone was trapped on the same blog.

sounds good

I did a TEETH newsletter. We talk about a campaign from last year, run by our own @rotational.co.uk and some other stuff. Read!

i don't think i realised how much i was missing this style of writing. something which is both very serious and thoughtful, engaging with the complexities of the subject and the contingent nature of any actual gaming experience... and also absolutely trying to fit a joke into any spare corner.

So happy my friends have gotten back on the old horse* *simultaneously dumb/silly/serious writings about PC games

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron? A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

Went to Deathmatch Island over the holiday. Played to (nearly) win

I've been running Night's Black Agents for my regular RPG chums, and — HYPER-NICHE-BULLSHIT TIME! — we're using QuickShock rules because we're PbtA narrative sickos who couldn't take NBA's dose of good old-fashioned combat crunch. Here's how I hastily adapted it! rotational.co.uk/2025/10/conv...

TEN++ is a big thank you to everyone who has played the game and supported us over the years -- you rock! Check out this amazing video community member abho made for us to help celebrate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8gs...

Was before your tenure, right, @mrbasilpesto.bsky.social? But do you know who wrote this delight?

I wrote this over the weekend, and was a lot of fun writing something about reading something that's a lot of fun.

Innocent

Right you lot. Get WYRD SCIENCE Issue 7 ordered: shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr... I am in it talking CAVES OF QUD. I will take it as a personal favour if you pick this up. But don't do it for me, do it for the health of #TTRPG generally, because this is the magazine we all deserve.

I don't make a lot of predictions, but I feel pretty ok saying that this kind of thing will not work. I wrote about something similar three years ago or so: www.possibilityspace.org/blog/posts/i... It also fails the 'comfort' check I mention in the blog - people don't want to do work to watch tv.

I spent the last month driving (sailing?) myself mad drawing these diagrams. But they're finally done! Phew! Thank god I'll never have to draw another ship again. What's that, Jim? We accidentally wrote an entire book about ships? FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUuuuu

Tactical Breach Wizards is a year old today! To celebrate, we're rewinding the whole last year to see if it can be done better or if it's just a bullshit level. In the meantime, we're 25% off til Monday! store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/... .

Incredible quote from Team Cherry. Can't believe they make games like this

shaders were a mistake. let's go back to handpainted textures for everything

From the individual to the national scale, the long term winners will be the ones who avoid all this like the plague and retain the ability to think, question, research, learn and remember

This includes a contribution from one of the gaming world's better-known Jim Rossignols. Worth picking up for that alone.
