Outer Worlds 2 is so good so far but WHY DID VALERIE JUMP SO FAR TO CONCLUSIONS HERE OMFG

Cadet Corbin, reporting for duty! If you're picking up The Outer Worlds 2, you'll hear me as this dutiful soldier. I had so much fun working on this game and I hope people love what we did. Love and thanks to Obsidian for having me in some hilarious sessions.

The Outer Worlds 2 Review – Exemplary Choice Though its main narrative is anti-climactic, we're amazed by how much Obsidian crammed into this 30-hour odyssey, with side content that weaves seamlessly in and out of the golden path and a high level of reflexivity. gameinformer.com/review/the-o...

The day's finally here! The Outer Worlds 2 is out for those with early access! 🎉 Beyond thrilled for you all to experience your own adventures - and to meet the companions!

May have finished the game but he’s still on the mind. This is also my 200th Emmy doodle. 🤭 #DragonAge #EmmrichVolkarin

Excited to be seeing so many familiar faces over here—as well as new ones! Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Super excited to share the news that The Outer Worlds will be one of the stories in #SecretLevel! 🪐

Utterly in love with this gorgeous commission of my #DnD cleric, Faela, and her dashing rogue, Ernst Larnak! 💕😍🥰 (Art by the super-talented Emil Lundmark!) This is the future Faela's working toward, a day where she can stand in the sun with the man she loves. #CurseofStrahd

Thinking about coming back to Bluesky mostly so I have somewhere to yell (lovingly) about D&D characters and Dragon Age 👀

Just finished prepping a Wanderhome oneshot! Will be my first time playing the system/setting. Really hoping the players enjoy what I have in store for them - but I'm even more excited to see where they take the story! 🐧❄️

The literal gasp I made when I saw the final version of this art of my D&D character, Faela! It's everything I'd imagined, capturing a very poignant moment in the campaign for her. So grateful to the artist, @gewska.bsky.social for her phenomenal work on this commission! ❤️

A very Barovian morning in Sea Ranch today!

Learning MÖRK BORG while I'm on vacation (because I've got the #ttrpg bug now), and I'm really vibing with the ominous yet vague worldbuilding. Love how the game leaves so much up to the GM's discretion to invent or explain.

My fiancé surprised me with this gorgeous homemade dice jail for our game tonight, and I am PUMPED 😍 Almost makes me hope I roll badly. Almost. 😑

This novella is incredibly good and I can't recommend it enough!

Huge congrats to my friend, @maigadoocy.bsky.social, on the announcement of her upcoming debut, SORCERY AND SMALL MAGICS, out from Orbit next year! Maiga is a tremendous talent and this book is so, so good. 🌲💚 You're all going to fall in love with Leo and Grimm!

Absolutely head-over-heels in love with this art commission of my cleric, Faela, and Ismark from our Curse of Strahd campaign! 😍 Tremendous thanks to the artist, Chris Froot (twitter.com/chrisfrootart), who was amazing to work with and captured these characters exactly as I imagined them!

Going to be DM-ing my first D&D campaign in an hour and I am so excited! 🧙

Shoutout to Larian's lighting artists because WOW, the lighting in this game is truly gorgeous. My print screen button is getting a real workout. #BaldursGate3 #BG3

Boosting for other NDs looking for work!

Stray Gods launched this week! This has been one of my most anticipated games for a while. (A musical rpg?? Yes please!) Congrats to the Summerfall dev team! Can't wait to jump in! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1920780/Stray_Gods_The_Roleplaying_Musical/

Self reflecting 🪞

My partner just now, pulling out a block of ground beef from the freezer: "This is like a forbidden popsicle."

Okay we've gotten to the point where objectively, as a game developer, Bluesky is a better feed than Twitter. All my homies are here now, you're sharing your beautiful faces and your smart words and your shitposts. I am happy.

If it's wrong to get attached to an NPC in Curse of Strahd, then I don't wanna be right

I did this one for Harper Wilde for their, California Collection. Each order of this this collection got a set of postcards made by artists who have ties to California. I for one am from the Bay Area so it was lovely to get a chance to work on this

Me: I don't need to buy anymore games!! Lost Odyssey: *on sale* Me: ok I need one more game

I think it was author Stephen King who coined the term "the Boys in the Basement" for your subconscious working out problems when you're not actively writing. Well, the Boys never let me down. Woke up and immediately knew how to fix a pacing issue that's been bugging me in my current novel. 💪

"The wrongness of my body was immediately apparent. When I started writing a book driven by the dissolution of my body, I reached for the magnitude of mechs." @emcandon.bsky.social's written something special here as she explores what giant robots tell us about disability and humanity.

If you read something and like it, tell a friend! Or even better, tell the author, we're all anxious bundles of nerves craving external validation

I know I have a Star Wars book out next week, but I also have a Hannibal-inspired Horror novella out in October, and it is deliciously available for preorder from all the usual places. And look! @paultremblay.bsky.social liked it!

Inspired, as always, by the Minoan snake goddess figurines (one of my absolute favorite art history set of sculptures of all time)🐍

Progress beats Perfection. We often get caught up in ensuring something is 100% perfect. We overthink, scrutinizing minor imperfections. Then we're caught in a holding pattern until perfection is achieved. But it will never be perfect. Do good work consistently, not perfect work.

Just started a new D&D campaign on Saturday (for the first time in years!) and I'd forgotten the side effect of playing D&D is that it becomes all you want to do.

Past me: what if we kept track of all the books we buy this year to see how many of them we actually end up reading? Present me: haha uh oh!

Whatever the opposite of FOMO is, I feel that about Threads

Chats last night reminded me of an important piece of #gamewriting advice. It's one that people breaking in sometimes find hard and that people in the industry keep coming back to as we all want to convince ourselves of it. There isn't a single way to break into the industry -
