I do not know what a weresacabambaspis would do but I feel someone should write to find out.

Interestingly, the typeface used for the words "We Came In Peace For All Mankind," was Futura. It's an iconic geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Paul Renner in 1927. Honestly, a masterpiece typeface. Renner wanted to modernize typography by moving away from the heritage of calligraphy 1/2

Everyone is all abuzz for Seven-Part Pact! If you want to learn more about how the TTRPG game came to be, check out Jay Dragon's post on Medium for a behind-the-scenes look, then make your pledge on Kickstarter. bit.ly/7partpactorigins #possumcreek #ttrpg #stevejacksongames #playsjgames

Given J.K. Rowling's apparent desire to see Amnesty International in court, Amnesty may want to take a look into her endorsement of a site that not only incites violence against the trans community, but also sells the weapons required to enact it. terfipedia.com @terfipedia.com

The fact right wingers are upset about the "historical inaccuracies" of The Odyssey, because there are black people in it, And NOT BECAUSE THE ARMOUR LOOKS AWFUL! Is very telling.

Eragon. The experience was great, though, because everyone in the audience understood what we were watching, and laughed in all the places the filmmakers did not intend.

I feel like we should not teach them to do this, but at least they're bad at it

Miller, perhaps, should not be making statements about what "a normal person" looks. Then again, the list of stuff he should be doing at all is very short.

Well worth a read... 👍 👇👇 👇👇 www.rascal.news/finland-reco...

So after a long and intense board game day I sat down in a local pub to unwind a bit and they have a "Scottish shandy" that's 50/50 Tennent's and Irn-Bru and I cannot even. Tasty, though.

(1/12) A short thread based our (@copperkeerthi.bsky.social and me) base on our talk for #GenerationAnalog2026 GREEN "Performing the Dungeon"

I was asked by @jdragsky.bsky.social to make the post about Seven Part Pact on my Patreon free to access for the duration of the Kickstarter. I thought that was more than fair, so here she is! Welcome to wizard club www.patreon.com/qquest/posts...

$50.1 million could fund over 400 doctorates; 933 years worth of annual curator salaries (UK), or running cost for a millennium-worth of free events like the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. It is inane that people can accumulate such wealth, and use it explicitly to cause public harm.

SEVEN-PART PACT, my fantastical ornate TTRPG about powerful wizards, asymmetrical board games, and the pressures of masculinity is now launching on kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

Happy Bastille Day

Rowling going after a human rights organisation is 100% consistent with her sociopathically mocking portrayal of a human rights organisation, btw. SPEW wasn't just a little "problematic" misstep in her otherwise cool vision. That was a literal caricature of Amnesty & all such orgs from the get-go.

I'm having a sale to help Julia Nevalainen with her costs connected to Ropecon 2026. Grab ~$40 of games from $5 or more!

Obi Wan, what the fuck are you talking about?

New video! Last month I was invited to Spain's Guadalindie game convention to do a talk of my choice. I ended up giving an angry polemic about how the culture of games is failing designers left and right, because there is no games industry. There's just "play" www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Xm...

come follow along with seven-part pact on kickstarter — it's launching in less than a week, and i can't wait to show you what we have in store www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

godspeed, my dudes.

Well that was hella fun. My oldest kid @lunastarshaper.bsky.social ran The Coming Destruction for us. I played a Shadow Lord Philodox named Thunder’s-Favorite-Grandchild, my 14yo played a Red Talon Ahroun named Whisperblade, and my oldest’s SO played a Bone Gnawer Theurge named Little Brother.

Me to people who don't like Supergirl

I've run bigger gaming conventions. Fuck, based on this video, I've had bigger birthday parties.

Apple TV doesn’t do marketing? Do the whispers of a blind prophet in the Kabul market not count? The petroglyphs depicting the Morning Show found in the Forbidden Tomb in Giza? I personally learnt about See from a statue in Rome that spoke in the voice of a long-dead child.

AAA.

Hitting #berlin next week. What's good in town this time of the year?

Gonna see it tomorrow. Expecting to like it. Criticism is what it is, but dumping on a woman protagonist for the mere fact of it is just embarrassing. Also, the original Tom King comic rocks.

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

What do you call it when a mummy farts? A toot uncommon.

This was a “stop and show the other people in the room” video

in 1708, Danish king Frederik IV visited Italy. He hoped to find a girl he had (allegedly) hooked up with there in 1692 while on his royal gap year as prince. Unfortunately she'd joined a convent. So, frustrated, he came back with these two big boi instead. read into that what you will.

What a headline. To any person with common sense it would mean: "data center lobby says Europe must ban AI immediately" www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Couldn't be there myself but I'm happy to have contributed to this!

Not many people know this, but a small group of indie RPG designers started a shared Google Doc -- at least a decade ago? maybe more? -- based on Jerry's map-drawing game, and churned on it for years. I was involved for maybe a year? Not sure if it's still going on, but it might have crashed GDocs.

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

Our team is enjoying the DiGRA 2026 conference in Maynooth! We presented our work on 'Intersectional pleasures and limits of game cultural participation and belonging in Finland' and are also involved in several other presentations and workshops. Our work is funded by the RCF #SuomenAkatemia.

On this day 60 years ago, Blackwell's bookshop opened its vast Norrington Room. It was excavated underneath Trinity College and named after the then president of the college, Sir Arthur Norrington. There are over 150,000 books on 4 km of shelves. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/about

Best movie title of the year.

People Make Games just dropped a new documentary in my favourite genre: "Quinns travels to meet a beautiful maniac who's doing mind-bending game design" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is8N...

My bet is that Trump ate him.

it's basically the number one rule to any medium ; you can't just tunnel-vision and pigeon hold yourself into a corner. that niche may feel comfortable but it's stifling and prevents you from seeing "the bigger picture" in any sort of artistic/cultural context

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that the creation of a “trillionaire” represents a giant and complete failure of public policy and government.

Reading it for the articles is not just a punchline.
