I love being autistic, it's 85% of the reason I'm a multi-award winning one-man-operated powerhouse. I do literally 8 different jobs to a professional standard simultaneously, day in, day out. I am inextricably, continuously and permanently autistic. I will never not be autistic.

My own games include: - Lay On Hands - Cycles of the Eye (w/ Gareth Damian Martin) - Diedream - SLEW (w/ Bastl) I also make content for existing ttrpg systems: - Thousand Empty Light (Mothership) - Fire in the Gorge (Frontier Scum) - The Baron's Sport (DCC) - Sodastone (Liminal Horror) and more...

I'm Alfred of the Haus of Valley. I make analog games – y'know, things you play on a real life table. I'm based in London, UK. I'm best known for solo games and the messy intermingling of analog and digital. My newsletter is a good way to stay updated: www.hausofvalley.com/subscribe

We're better than you.

The fantasy realms each have a special ability, which changes the weight of all these choices. Some move faster and cross rivers, some take more tax, muster more troops, or excel in offensive or defensive combat. So the calculus changes on each play through. I'm really proud of how it plays tbh!

Deepest valley is an 2-5 player area control, take over the map kinda game, with a corruption mechanic that takes the strategy beyond something like Risk without really adding any rules complexity. friendly-ghost.itch.io/deepest-valley

Do another one.

hypermall done. 2 years. i hope you all like it.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" "This exhibit is closed!" Etc.

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.

Me: i’m Autistic Them: Oh you take things literally Me: No that’s kleptomania

let's talk sidequests! so there's a few new things in issue 7 of Wyrd Science but the one I'm super duper happy to get in there & equally interested in people's response to is SIDEQUESTS, or if we avoid bankruptcy what I'm hoping will come to be affectionately known as our yellow pages...

Another mention of my new Deepest Valley computer game. Thanks WS! wyrd.science/perfect-is-t...

European countries are scrambling for Ukrainian anti-drone systems following the unprecedented violation of Polish airspace by Russian kamikaze drones on Sept. 10, officials and manufacturers have told the Kyiv Independent.

we posted @elkowalczuk.bsky.social's art from our @cavesofqud.com feature on reddit and they're going wild for it, so here's the spot illos Lukasz did for it that we haven't posted here before, as they're awesome, along with the main piece again, as that's awesome too www.reddit.com/r/cavesofqud...

DWARF ESCORT (not like that) twosnakesgames.itch.io/dwarf-escort

Made a game called 'Dwarf Escort', a hack of Honey Heist. It's about Dwarves (fantastical, made of stone) escorting clients (Elves, Orcs etc) through a cave system in a big mountain. Noticed it's very popular? Checked the stats - lots of traffic to the itch.io page directly from Google search. Ah...

Extremely sassy cryptology paper from a prof at my alma mater, dunking on the current state of quantum computing. (I expect the latter to get more breathlessly hyped in techbro circles as the AI end of the seesaw goes down) eprint.iacr.org/2025/1237.pdf

Hey I’m in a band with my partner and they designed/printed this amazing album art. We put a single out today from our upcoming EP which I’m really excited about BUT more importantly please tell my wife how good her art is because they never believe me. All comments left here will be relayed to her.

My partner has had a large, surprise, bill land on the doormat. Would you do me a favour and buy approximately 90 copies of my latest game? adapress.itch.io/othership

This is a good thread to dive deeper into the Plus One/Brandfox saga. I can't confirm its validity, but I have no reason to doubt it as it aligns with some of my experience and what I've heard from other creators around the timeframe referenced here.

China mandates digital watermark on all AI generated content, to be visible/audible to the user. Good fucking call. www.cac.gov.cn/2025-03/14/c...

OTHERSHIP by @cjeggett.co.uk is really cool. As a 'shrinking games down to their essence' enjoyer, I highly approve! The adventure is sweet too, and I love the printability. adapress.itch.io/othership

I did Hive of the Crawling Creeps with plus one exp for their zine club. It was obvious something was way off, but hey first publishing deal. I've never had any visibility about the status of my biggest highest effort game. This is the first I heard of any of this, never heard the name Brandfox.

Long read: For around one year, indie publisher Plus One Exp operated as a business unit within a shipping and warehousing company called Brandfox. They worked with Possum Creek Games, Stockholm Kartell, among others. It was disastrous for almost everyone involved. www.rascal.news/plus-one-exp...

Are you a games writer who would like to write or say something about this week's hit game, OTHERSHIP? adapress.itch.io/othership Then just let me know and I'll send you a link for the game. It's already been said that it will SAVE YOU GAME NIGHT and HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THIS GOOD!

I’m so mad. This is so good. It has no right to be this good!! I ran this today for my friends. The system is phenomenal. I can’t recommend it enough. Very well done, @cjeggett.co.uk.

another few thousand words dispatched into the cold pitiless void, but some good stuff in the bookmarks section to check out this weekend and seriously how can you not at least feel a twinge of curiosity in an adventure titled "They’re Making Hostage Sausage in the Dragonmeat™ Processing Plant!"
