A new episode for your weekend! I got the chance to sit down with @adambell.games to chat about Uneasy Lies the Head, and how fun it is to be mean to your friends!

It’s cool cool to not like D&D. I get it 150%. No shade. But gosh I forgot how irritating it is to have people unsolicited rant at you about how people “really don’t want to play D&D” like it’s 1995 or 2005 or 2015 or…. Get new ideas. Please. I’m BEGGING you. Hating D&D isn’t a personality.

In which I talk about the launch, about @cuchi.bsky.social's "chorrijuegos" (loosely: silly-ass games) philosophy and how @binarystar.games' minimalist jam inspired the mechanics I created for this game, as well as the challenges I've faced playing.

It's here! It's here! Go get it!

Here We GO! Come along, my dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

I'm joining Ryan over on The Weekly Scroll to talk about the dos and don'ts of self-promotion and marketing. Leave us some questions in the comments! And join us this Friday at 1 pm EST or 10 am PST.

Hello gamers I'm opening *emergency* graphic design commissions, to help me keep my healthcare due this friday. Flexible pricing, I'll do: -Title typography -Iconography -flyers Looking forl ow effort/stress (ie not suited for short turnarounds and big expectations), great for mockups and prototypes

In particular Aneesh Bhoopathy, from the design coop Forge, who designed the identity. A brilliant reminder to *employ human creatives!* www.curbed.com/article/zohr...

D&D is dead. Long live Dragon Slayers. gilarpgs.itch.io/dragon-slayers

for games its especially important to understand the legacy of what games have historically been called not-games (i.e those made by non-men) and that when you call a game "not a game" youre building on that affect; its the equivalent of calling art "degenerate"

pointing at a game and saying "this is not a game" means you're saying it shouldnt be thought of as a game, it shouldnt be compared to other games, and it shouldnt be respected like a game. it's a tool of dismissal and erasure

i wish people would be substantially more careful with their choice to dismiss art/games they don't like as "not art / not a game"

Excerpt from my latest newsletter where I was talking about how much I hate writing the introductions to my games 🫠
