Ex Novo 2nd edition (digital edition) is out, and you can already get it on the game's itchio & DriveThruRPG pages. If you have already bought Ex Novo, you already have access to the 2nd edition. 🏗️ itchio: sharkbombs.itch.io/ex-novo 🏗️ DriveThruRPG: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

that john waters quote and "have faith in your own bad taste" are constantly rolling around my head as mantras against Online Thinking

I'm less proud because I've been staring at this thing so much. I will be glad once it's off to print. And even gladder once it's come back properly. And once I have shipped all the non US copies.

Had one last read of the Ex Novo 2nd edition, and only made two edits. Also, I am noticing that I am very happy with both the updated system and the new look of the book. Also, we'll be soon ending late pledges :) 🎲▶️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...

1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.

My USA friends and customers; be aware that the combination of tariffs and the removal of the de minimis exemption means that many international publishers will have a hard time sending you games from outside of the country.

@orbitaldropkick.bsky.social made some comments about Draw Steel, and I thought it would be interesting to hear his thoughts. We also talk about games not appologizing for their design, how testing makes games better, and how Draw Steel is not appealing game. 👀 Listen on GoblinPoints.com/2518

Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see. Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.

I've been marinating on the idea of starting an Actual Play-focused web fest based around peer review for a while now. Today, I finally wrote down all the ideas in my head and am gonna throw it out there to see if it resonates. Check it out and apply by October 3rd if you're interested!

Okay, I gues…

KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS killsixbilliondemons.com

I‘m there but you can‘t see me!

"Just tell them" is such an underrated piece of advice for telegraphing dangers in RPGs. "How can I hint that the hallway is trapped? How can I hint that if they defeat the dungeon lord, they become the next dungeon lord?" Just tell them. Tell them out loud. With your words.

The comments of this are a delight

Tell me, is this too noisy?

The new Crownbreakers UI window style definitely needed some grit and grime... #ui #gamedev

Started translating my interface style ideas to Unity. I wanted the splats to be randomized whenever a window opens, so here's that in action (with only very few assets so the variation is a little limited still...) #indiedev #ui

In case you need a reminder

Spent a little time today (I know, it's Sunday - but that's the time for all that optional #indiedev stuff!) adding an "About the Game" part to the #Crownbreakers main menu. What do you folks think about the text?

silksong, honey...... a 80 hour game does not belong in the $20 price category...... us indies with 20 hour games really need that space for healthy expectations...

Gaza is being turned into hell as we speak. End the genocide now.

SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT EoE (if you liked the set TELL THEM WE LIKE inventive ambitious in universe cards because EoE got swamped and swept aside by two UB preview deluges before it even released)

KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS, WHEEL SMASHING LORD - ARIHORR, THE DEAD PILED UPON THE DEAD killsixbilliondemons.com

Stop. You scrolled past a howling mine. Draw an additional card.

Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Looking for an expert to talk about larp, ttrpgs, roleplaying, bleed and transformation? Are you wondering about bleed and social dynamics? How to use creation and play as a mitigator for trauma? I'm taking Fall bookings now, so let's talk about it. www.jonayakemper.com/contact-me/

Homeward bound

I finally got around replacing the old placeholder illustrations for this part of the book! It feels great to do all these new illustrations and seeing the book coming together after so long ❤️

The idea that 'AI can speed up dev cycles' would require a premise that dev cycles are long because people are taking forever to make assets (so you could replace them with shoddy slop and it'd go faster), which you could only believe is true if you've never actually tried to make a video game
